For you to most effectively achieve your goal to lose weight, gain muscle etc., you must understand that there are many factors other than just diet and exercise that go into how you will get to where you want to go. It is a good idea to understand this before you start your program.
For instance, your genetic makeup will play a part in your weight loss. Some people seem to be able to eat anything, and as much as they want, and never gain an ounce. Others continually struggle with weight gain. A good night sleep is essential, as it is very difficult to get motivated to exercise if you are already tired. And the same can be said for stress.
2. Learn the Most Effective Exercises, and the Best Foods to Fuel Your Body
Exercise and diet go hand in hand when trying to lose weight and attain your perfect body. After all, if you are doing the right exercises but eating the wrong foods, you are defeating yourself. You will not reach your goal until you address both diet and exercise.
Your goal here is to burn off fat through high intensity exercise. Walking on a treadmill for an hour each day will help, but it is definitely not the best exercise you can do. First of all it is time consuming. And second, it is dreadfully boring. Your exercise program should be quick, precise, and progressive, and burn fat away even after you stop exercising. Also, you need to learn what foods to eat. You want foods that are very high in nutrients. If you eat these foods you will find that you are not constantly hungry, because these are actually the kinds of food your body craves. Also, certain foods that are highly nutritious are also fat burning foods. So you see, you can burn fat not only with proper exercise, but also with a special, high nutrient diet.
3. Keep a Daily Log of Your Activity
In order to achieve your goal you need to know where you are going, and how you are progressing. Keeping a daily log of your exercise and diet activity is very effective in keeping you motivated. When you do this and begin to see your impressive results, you will want to keep going.
Your log should consist of a weight chart so you can measure your weight loss progression. You should also have a body fat analyzer chart to simply calculate the percentage of your body fat. And last, you will want a metabolic rate calculator chart to measure how many calories you need to burn each day to lose your body fat.
Get organized first, and you will keep motivated. Eating and exercising properly and tracking your progress will get you there. Be determined, and persevere, and do not give up.
Do you know that if you really follow these suggestions, you can change your body in eight short weeks. And the best part is you can do this all at home, you do not need a gym, and you do not need hundreds of dollars of exercise equipment. And if you apply high intensity exercise routines along with proper diet, you will be able to reach your goal much faster with and much less time exercising.
