If you are a beginner, getting fit ca be intimidating and complex. In reality, it doesn’t have to be like that. Actually, getting in shape is very straightforward. Fortunately, you only need two things: discipline from you and a simple guideline from me.
To start, you must get a physical examination from your doctor. This is very important for all those that have high cholesterol, are obese or suffer from diabetes. Once this is done and your doctor approves your start of the fitness program you can then go to your personal coach at your gym to get a fitness assessment.
While both of these are incredibly annoying, they are essential to your success and well-being. The benefits of a doctor’s visit are obvious, particularly if you have one or more of the previously mentioned conditions but it also allows you and your doctor to discuss your lifestyle. Preventative medicine is far better than reactive medicine. Make your doctor part of your fat loss and health-building team along with the health professionals at your gym.
The benefits of your fitness test is about learning about your strenghts and weakness, not just to see how much body fat you have. If you want to success with your program you have to know what you are capable of.
The next step is to aproach your fitness program with patiente. Don’t try to do what you did years ago, because I guarantee you won’t last more than a few days. And then, you will dread your next work out for the rest of the year.
The hidden benefit of a good fitness assessment is that it will actually serve as a nice introductory workout to your return to fitness. It will buffer your delusions of fitness grandeur from the reality of what your body actually can do. After the fitness assessment teaches your body a lesson and awakens your muscles from their winter slumber, only then will you realize your limits that you must respect in subsequent workouts.
Goal-setting is the fourth secret to success (and not just in fitness, but in any area of life). It is much more effective to commit to a set of specific short-term and long-term goals than it is to routinely hope for weight loss each year. Set realistic goals and remember to train within your limits. If you are currently sedentary and haven’t exercised in months (or years), don’t begin an advanced training program. Start with a conservative beginner program. Your belly wasn’t built in a day, and neither will be lost overnight.
To start with your program, do only one set per muscle group. Add an additional set for each week until week 3. Lift a little more weight each week and always keep your plan, don’t try to push it. You will get sore muscles, which is normal, but you should try to stay low for now.
And now for 2 super secrets that will help keep you committed and consistent with your workouts and will finally help you lose fat for good.
Get yourself a Social Support Team. Your social support is the first point for your success. This team can be your friends and family, your co-workers, your doctor and your trainer. They are your support in this trip. You will have a better chance of winning if you have your spouse backing you up.
The second most important factor is nutrition. For any fat loss diet program, this is a must. The first fat you lose will be because you change your eating choices. If you don’t make better eating choices, no amount of workouts is going to get you to lose fat.
Nutrition should not be difficult. Just try to be reasonable in your food choices. If necesary, consult your doctor. Remember to cut sugar and syrups and check your calorie intake constantly.
The consistent use of these 6 secrets will help you achieve your fat loss goals this year. Make this year’s fitness plan a strategic investment in your future health.
