If Your Not

Seeing results right away, its ok..you have to keep at it. Eating healthy and consuming less calories, and working out more not just a walk around the block will get you there, it doesn't happen over night.

 

Did you know..

That lifting weights not only builds your muscle and gets you stronger, but promotes abdominal fat loss as well. So for the ladies that are scared to lift weights because they are scared to get all bulky, your wrong. It's funny how girls think if they lift weights for one week they will become Arnold Schwarzenegger. Incorporate cardio with weight lifting to maximize fat burn. Remember that muscles burn fat and the more muscle you have, the less fat you will have. In the past two weeks I have lost an inch of my belly, 2-3 more inches and I will be at the body fat i want, 8% and by that time my abs and other muscles should be showing like crazy. So the moral of the story is lift weights, but don't lift one weight, then socialize and wait 5 minutes then do another set. You need to push your body, lift fast, take few breaks, and eat/drink protein!

 

 

Why Are We

So obsessed with having abs or thinking abs are the definition of completely fit?! 

 

Well having abs does mean that you have lower body fat, it does not mean that the person is totally fit because I have met people with abs but couldn't run more then 2 miles. I have people constantly asking me, I just want abs, how do I get abs..blah blah! 

Also people just find abs sexy and everyone wants them so you have to work for them and eat good to get them.

It's fairly simple, its how determined you are to get them. You don't have to do 500 crunches or other different ab workouts. Eating right is more then half the dilemma here. You need to stop eating all the fatty foods and soda that pack on sugar and trans/sat fat that gets stored in your stomach. Combine that with going for a 1-5 mile run everyday and doing some ab workouts 3 times a week, not everyday because you will over exert the ab muscles and counter act the results. So try doing this for a month and i bet you lose belly fat and if  your close to abs you will have them showing. Ill post some good ab workouts later.

Run. Just Do It ™

 

Not a big fan of running, or just don't like to run because it's not your strong point? Well you may want to start trying it out, and training more. Running is very crucial in being fit, losing weight, and living a healthy lifestyle. There are different types of running, both kinds are good, both have their benefits. 

1. Long Distance Running

2. Fast Sprint Running

Long distance running is good for your heart and cardio. Running a long distance burns calories, not the most amount but burns the fat calories that you want to get rid of, as where if you enjoy cycling that uses carbohydrates.  You want nice ripped or toned abs? Well running is a big factor in that, running helps you lose the fat calories around your stomach and helps build your abs because legs and abs are the big muscle groups being used here. Going for a long run can consist of running up hills, mountains, streets, anywhere! Running on uneven surfaces are the best because they make your body work harder then the normal flat plane surface. Having good cardio and a good heart is crucial when getting older, you want to live forever right, well here is the first step!

Fast sprint running is very good also. You may not be able to run very fast for very long, but that's ok. Most people can't run like that. When going for a jog/run, pick a spot out in the distance (around .10 mile or so) and sprint that as fast as you can, pushing yourself. Now every quarter mile or so do a sprint like that. This is a very good workout. It is straining your heart to pump more blood so your heart gets stronger, your cardio builds up way more then just a steady run, you become faster, and you burn more calories. 

Before and After going on a run it is very important that you stretch! If you skip this, you could hurt your muscles, not only that, if you don't stretch your not getting all the results from the run that you should be getting.

Breathing In through the nose, out through the mouth is the best breathing technique and is best for the body. While your running, if you feel like your about to stop because your breathing to fast and your getting tired, keep running, shake your arms out, and take a BIG deep breathe! This will bring new oxygen into the muscles and help the muscles keep going.

Weight Loss Supplement

Stop being skeptical on weight loss supplements, yea their are fake and non-worthy ones out there. I am here to help give you some insight on legit products. Hydroxycut Pro Series is the newest hydroxycut product on the shelves, I had taken their first one and it helped somewhat. I decided to try the new one out after reading up on it in the latest "Men's FitnessRx" magazine. (get an issue)
When I started taking it i weighed 224 and was at 15.9% body fat. I am 3 weeks in  and it has helped me get down to 210 and 13.1% body fat.
Now these results are going to be typical unless you are dedicated.
1. Eat 3 meals a day, no late night snacking, or snacking in between meals
2. I work out twice a day (insanity- hard core cardio) then at night (weight lifting)
3. I cut all sugar foods, fast food, soda, anything that sounded good because it was a treat, GONE!
Ill post later good workout routines and good eating. If you can somewhat follow this with hydroxycut, I swear you will see results!!!! Its not the cheapest, but well worth the money!

Also: if your body isn't used to high levels of caffeine and/or you dont follow instructions results may not work or this may not be the product for you
