Staying Slim For Spring

Staying Slim For Spring
Okay so you've worked your butt of all winter long, putting
in those grueling workout hours day in and day out. You've
lost a few pounds and you even have some nice defined
muscle on your body to show for all of your hard work.

First off congratulate yourself on this accomplishment, it
takes a lot determination and will power to get this farm,
so go ahead and give yourself a pat on your back.

So you might think to yourself that since you worked so
hard throughout the winter, you can "slack off" a bit and
indulge in those "spring foods".

What kinds of spring foods you ask?

Here's a quick list…

Hamburgers

Hotdogs

Chocolates

Ice cream

Salads loaded with mayo

Spring beverages (ice cap, margaritas, iced coffee)

…those kinds of things

So of course there will be some challenges in terms of
watching what you eat, but if you want to maintain the
results you got or maybe want to see a bit more results
then you still have to put in the effort to focus on your
workouts and watching what you eat.

And as usual if you do this 80% of the time then you have
that 20% to enjoy some ice cream, or have a burger at a
family picnic - You have to enjoy your life too…right?!

But eating well is one part to staying slim this spring.

You also have to keep your workouts up to par buy working
out at least 3 times a week.

With the warmer weather here this makes getting your daily
does of exercise a lot easier than in the winter.

You've probably heard the same old generic stuff to being
fit in the spring. Yeah you can do things like riding your
bike, going for walks, and so on. But if you really want
to spice things up then what you can try to do is bump up
the intensity on your favorite exercises.

For example, lets say you're doing your workout outside.
Instead of performing lunges on a flat surface, while not
do it up a hill?

Or if normal push-ups are too easy, lift one leg up to
place more weight on your upper body.

So you see being active is one thing but changing the
intensity level of your activities can really speed up your
results and can result in you becoming more fit a lot
faster.

But before I finish off this weeks newsletter, remember
that "You Get What You Give".

If you give 110% during all your workouts and have the
discipline to stay away from foods that pack on the pounds
then you'll see 110% results. And at that point I don't
see why you can't go out and buy yourself a nice new spring
dress!
