10 Easy Tips for Guaranteed Fat Loss Success
As a personal fitness coach, I find that I spend a good
portion of time talking with people and offering advice,
suggestions, tips, etc... to them on how accomplish a
myriad of goals. Usually pretty basic stuff, like what
should I eat, how should I train, how do I reduce my body
fat etc... and I find myself giving them all the answers
that they need to solve this problem, but many times they
still stand there with this look of "is that all" on their
face. There are no bells and whistles, secrets potions,
required to accomplish your fat loss goals. It's really
not as complex as many would make out to be; however it is
some what hard because it requires some effort and change.
So to make a little easier for all of those searching out
solutions, I have come up with my top 10 checklist for: fat
loss. The checklist are intended to be a guide line to see
if what you have been performing the basic principles
required to make positive progress toward your fat loss
goals. Enjoy!
Fat Loss Checklist:
1. What, Why, and How: what do you really want, why do you
really want it and how badly do you want it. <br><br> 2.
Change is Uncomfortable: this why so many people start and
stop fat loss programs, because it is a little
uncomfortable to them. By no means am I advocating some
torturous and miserable life. However, changing your
habits/routines is always a little comfortable, but the
thing you have to remember is that it is a change for a
better YOU, and that soon these will be your new
habits/routines. <br><br> 3. Drink Water: at least 1oz.
/pound of body weight. <br><br>4. Ditch the Infomercials
and Pills: they are playing on the "I want it now"
emotions. Search out find quality information usually your
best sources will NOT come from sources are not popularized
by the mass media. <br><br> 5. Leg Warmers and Leotards
are Out: limiting your exercise program to strictly
aerobic exercise, is not the way to go, if anything this is
the fastest way to lose precious muscle, which may look
good on a scale but it is a metabolic time bomb in the long
run. <br><br> 6. Consume Iron: I don't mean orally, I mean
use the free weights, dumbbells, and cables, etc..., and
pretty pastel colored dumbbells don't count. This is bar
none the best way to help lose fat, gain strength, and
improve the quality of YOUR LIFE. <br><br>7. Do Not Starve:
If you want to feel miserable and starve, get lost in the
desert for a few days. If you want drop some serious
amounts of body fat and get in the best shape of your life,
quality nutrients are the key, I am talking about. high
quality protein like fish, lean beef, chicken etc... all of
the vegetables that you can get your hands on and some high
quality carbohydrates such as rice, whole wheat, etc..
<br><br>8. Count Your Sheep: sleep is one of the best ways
not only to recover from your training and the stress of
everyday life, but sleep also helps to keep your hormones
in balance. If you are not getting enough quality sleep (8
hours per night). Then not only will you be ill prepared
for you training, but the rest of your daily activities
will suffer. <br><br>9. Crank up your Furnace: Adding in
some anaerobic interval work is the right method to use,
you should only need to add in a 2-3 brief session (20-30
minutes each) of anaerobic intervals working at 80-100% of
your maximum effort and then recovering, and repeating the
process again, until you have completed your training.
<br><br>10. Do Not be a Sheep: just because your friend
has tried something and it works for them i.e. Atkins Diet,
South Beach Diet, etc.... does not mean that it will work
for you. When you implement the 9 principles from above,
and make the need adjustments as you move along then you
will be successful.
As you can see by now its not all that complex; but more a
matter of applying good sound information to your fitness
program. Simply implementing these 10 easy tips and you
could very well be the one who lost 10,20, even 50lbs or
more of unsightly fat. That would rate as an A+ fitness
program in my book.
