Why is it that some struggle to stay in shape while others
achieve unbelievable results that inspire themselves and others?
It’s actually very simple. Excellent results come from a plan, a
specifically designed women’s fitness program that includes
weight training and cardio workouts along with excellent
nutrition and supplementation.
Below you’ll learn the essential strategies that will enable you
to achieve your goals. These simple strategies can be
immediately implemented into your lifestyle with little
sacrifice on your part. It will add quality years to your life.
1. Don’t be too aggressive. One of the biggest problems most
women encounter when starting a health & fitness program is
rapidly depleted motivation after only a few weeks due to an
overly ambitious plan.
As you become accustomed to the lifestyle shift, you can add
more days and get improved results. But beware: if you try to do
too much too fast, you may end up quitting altogether.
2. If you don’t enjoy doing resistance training or are pressed
for time, concentrate on working the largest muscle groups with
compound resistance movements.
A lack of success is generally just a lack of understanding of
how a woman’s body works. Most women want to lose fat and tone
and firm their bodies.
The way to do that is to use resistance to train large muscle
groups.
3. Stretching improves flexibility, blood flow, muscle recovery,
low back pain, health and a host of other things. Additionally,
stretching can prevent injury, making sleep better and improve
your performance.
Always stretch, but be certain not to stretch pulled muscles.
You should always warm-up before stretching. However, it is very
important that you know how to stretch. Never bounce!
4. Set realistic, attainable weight loss & health goals.
You must have both short-term and long-term goals so you can
gauge your progress. It’s crucial to have a baseline before you
begin, so you can measure success.
5. Set exercise appointments with yourself.
Use your day-timer to set appointments for exercise, and then
stick to them. You wouldn’t miss a business meeting or client
appointment, would you?
So don’t miss an exercise appointment with yourself. Nothing is
more important than your health. Nothing.
Everything else will crumble around you if your health fails. So
make your exercise appointments a priority.
6. Exercise correctly. So much time is wasted doing, at best,
unproductive exercise, or worse, dangerous exercises. Get
educated on how to exercise correctly. And the absolute best way
to do that is to have someone develop a program for you and then
teach you what to do and how do it right.
7. Enjoy yourself.
The most difficult thing is actually getting into your running
shoes and going to the gym. But once you begin your workout,
relax and enjoy the process.
Yes, exercising can and should be somewhat rigorous but it is
just that investment which makes it supremely rewarding. As with
anything, if you’re in the moment, you can fully appreciate the
experience and truly enjoy the process.
8. If you want to maximize your results or fat loss efforts,
you’ve got to eat breakfast.
Even if you don’t exercise at all, breakfast remains the most
important meal of the day. You breakfast should canteen complete
proteins and complex carbohydrates.
9. Eat fat to lose fat.
Healthy fats are necessary to your body for a bunch of reasons:
regulating hormonal production, improving immune function,
lowering total cholesterol, lubricating joints, and providing
the basics for healthy hair, nails and skin.
One distinction you must be aware of it is the difference
between healthy fats, and dangerous fats.
Good fats are monounsaturated fats like olive oil, peanut and
canola oil, avocados, all natural peanut butter and nuts; and
omega-3 fats like salmon and mackerel and soy-based foods.
Bad fats are saturated fats, partially hydrogenated fats, and
trans fats.
10. Drink plenty of fresh clean water.
Yes, you’ve probably heard this over and over again. But there’s
a reason for it; it’s the truth! The recommended amount is
approximately eight classes, or 64 ounces, of water every day.
When you’re exercising, you need to drink even more. Over 75
percent of your body is water.
Even small deficit of water can radically affect how your body
performs. Here’s a good rule of thumb: if your urine is a dark
yellow or has a strong odour, you’re not drinking enough water.
11. For optimum results eat regularly throughout the day.
Fasting or overly restrictive diets will enable you to lose
weight, in the short run. Because the way he loses primarily
water weight and lean muscle mass.
But in the long run, it has exactly the opposite effect you
want. When you restrict your diet, your body instinctively
thinks it’s being starved and shifts into a protective mode by
storing fat.
You should eat 4 nutritionally balanced meals each day, and
should have least one or two healthy snacks. This keeps your
metabolic furnace stoked, so you burn more fat at a faster rate.
There you have it. Essential strategies for an effective health,
weight loss and fitness lifestyle that will have you looking and
feeling better then you have in years, maybe ever!
The hardest part is getting started and sustaining motivation
until fitness becomes habitual. Once you develop the habit,
which can take as little as 30 days, your whole life will change
for the better.
