ULTIMATE WORKOUT GUIDE

Everyone is looking for quick fixes these days. We are all looking for faster results for weight loss. The problem with that is that fad diets don’t always work. Yes, we drop the pounds, but then we put them back on just as soon as we finish dieting. Always keep that in mind before you begin a new program.

However, having said that, some fad diets can really work in our favor. For example, if one such weight loss program is followed, then it has to be followed up in order to maintain those results. How? Be prepared to continue and to maintain.

In order to do this successfully, you will have to make some serious lifestyle changes. For example, if you don’t exercise, it’s time to start. It doesn’t have to be a rigorous exercise in the beginning, especially if you are guilty of living a very sedentary life. So start slow and move up.

One of the most important things you can do to maintain the weight you have reached and to continue to lose weight if that’s what you want, is to eat right. That means that you have to avoid all junk food. Treat yourself once in a while, but overall avoiding it is best. Switch from refined and processed foods to more natural ones.

Furthermore, make sure that you give your body and your mind everything it needs to survive and work properly. That means that all foods from all food groups in reasonable portions. Balanced meals are the key to staying slim.

Of course, it is necessary to educate yourself on the subject of eating right. Once you get the information right, you will see the positive results. Additionally, reduce your portions of every meal. Instead, spread them out to four or five or even six meals rather than the usual two or three that most people have a daily basis.

As a personal trainer for 10 years, I have worked with clients as infrequently as once a month and as frequently as 6 times a week. A good rule of thumb is the less experience and knowledge you have about exercise, the more necessary it is to meet frequently especially in the beginning. Maybe you have been working out a long time but you still need that accountability so one weekly appointment is enough. Some people are motivated to workout on their own and just want to ‘check-in’ once a month to get some new material. There is no right answer because it depends on your particular needs and wants. Below are my recommendations:

If you are new to exercise I suggest meeting with a trainer 2 or 3 times a week. I realize this adds up quickly but the beginning stages of a new exercise regiment are a critical time. For example people with great intentions of getting in shape often injure themselves quickly because they don’t really know what they’re doing. The supervision by a trainer in the beginning will get you off to a great start by learning the basics about good form. This will help to prevent injuries down the road. Also, most people fall off course during the first 3 weeks of a new attempt at exercise. By having several training appointments early on you will gain the momentum you need in order to hang on through this tough period.

Lots of people are very well aware of what to do at the gym but just can’t seem to get to the gym. If this sounds familiar, it’s probably a good idea to always have a weekly appointment on the calendar. Accountability is a very legitimate reason to have a trainer. My clients say to me all the time: “If I didn’t have this appointment, I wouldn’t have exercised today.” Be honest with yourself and if you know you won’t do it on your own then some accountability might be just what you need.

If you are at a pretty good level of fitness but you do the same exercises all the time, having an appointment once a month to spice up your routine is a great idea. Here’s why: Have you heard people talk about the need to ‘confuse your body’? What it basically means is that you don’t want you body to become too comfortable. This happens when you do the same thing all the time. Ideally, you should be challenging your body and ‘confusing’ it by doing different exercises with different levels of exertion. This is the best way to optimize your exercise. So, if you find yourself bored in your routine or not challenged but motivated enough to do it on your own, you would greatly benefit from a once a month appointment. The new material will keep you challenged and engaged.

Maybe you don’t need any instruction from a trainer because you’ve been exercising for years. Maybe you’re exercising consistently on your own and you don’t need the accountability. I would still suggest having a trainer that you check in with once a month. I’ll tell you why. Everybody needs a coach. Even professional athletes and Olympians need coaches. If you work out alone, it’s very easy to ignore injuries, fall into a run, get bored and not challenge yourself. Meeting with a trainer once a month is great way to mix up your workouts and keep them fresh and challenging. Also, a trainer will not let you ignore an injury.

Remember that the frequency of your training is not set in stone. Sometimes it may be more frequently, other times less frequently depending on what’s going on in your life. Your trainer will always work with you to do what is appropriate at any given time. If you’re lucky enough to have a trainer that you really enjoy and that’s helping you to get the results you want, they’re probably going to be in your life for a long time!

There you are. Having trouble putting on your socks or tying your shoes? And what’s your shirt doing on at the pool party? Actually, when’s the last time you went shirtless at the pool?

I recognize you because I was that guy, and I know that I’m not the only one. I got so sick of walking around with this big, fat gut hanging over my belt that I finally decided to do something about it. If I’ve ever had an epiphany, this was it.

Can you hear the challenge? It’s time to do something about that gut you call a TV tray. There’s simply no time like the present to take care of that.

First off, eat like you mean it. What I mean is that you need to eat for your target weight. Simply multiply your target weight by 10, and that’s how many calories you should be eating each day. However, whatever your target weight is, don’t eat less than about 1,600 calories a day.

It’s important to remember to eat five or six times a day (every two to three hours). Your meals will be smaller than you’re used to. That’s good because large meals det turned into fat very easily, while smaller ones are readily converted to energy.

Another good way to make sure those calories go the extra mile is for you to consume a large amount of your calories in protein. Take in about 1 gram of protein per pound of your target weight. Also, with the increased amount of protein intake, you’ll need an increase in your water consumption as well (drink anywhere from half a gallon to a full gallon of water a day).

Im a very picky eater, so I’m always looking for ways to help with my diet. Cheese sticks, protein shakes, and meal replacement bars are an excellent way to supplement your meals. And, vegetables get a free pass to your plate – eat as much of them as you like and don’t worry about their calories.

Finally, remember that if you want to get serious about fat loss, you need to get serious about your diet (exercise is secondary). Exercise helps you preserve muscle while you’re dieting and, of course, improves health. Isn’t that what you’re ultimately after?
