We only get one body and we are stuck with it even it we don't like it. But you can always make it look great. Concentrate on making a healthy strong and fit you instead of wishing you looked like someone else. You don't have to be perfect to be attractive and a strong, fit body as well as the self-confidence it brings can make any person attractive.
9) It is better to be toned and weigh more than to be soft and flabby and weigh less.
The sleek firm bodies we admire have a high ratio of toned muscle tissue and a low percentage of body fat. You will be a much smaller person and will be stronger and have more energy. So, don't look to the scales to give your a magical number, but look at your total body composition instead.
8) You need to do the right exercise.
Forget long, slow, repetitive old fashioned activities like walking, jogging or cycling. They are great as part of an active lifestyle but will not give you a strong, lean and firm body. You need to be doing a proper exercise program that contains mostly strength training exercise along with a small amount of interval training. That is the 21st Century way to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals.
7) You won't get any bigger or bulkier.
If you are larger than you would like now and start exercising and eating better it is unlikely that you will get larger. If you are carrying any excess body fat this will make you larger than any toned muscle will... ever. Toned muscle is your friend and will help you burn off that bulky fat.
6) You will need to put some effort into it.
If you want to become strong and fit you have to work at it. You have to plan it, you have to schedule it, and, most importantly, you actually have to do it. There can be no excuses.
5) You need to eat in the right way.
If you want a strong fit body, you need to nourish it. Your eating must support your exercise program and give you enough energy to do it properly otherwise it will not work. Small meals around 4-6 of them spread throughout the day each one containing 20-30 grams of protein is the ticket to a slim and trim body.
4) You can't lose excess weight overnight.
You didn't gain it overnight and you are certainly not going to lose it overnight. If you are serious about making successful and permanent changes seek the help of a fitness professional to help you make them. If you try and wing it alone it is unlikely that you will succeed. You need to be monitored properly, your program updated often and your eating plan tweaked....constantly.
3) You can't spot reduce a body part.
Genetics will decide where the fat will come off so doing 1000 crunches will not reduce your belly fat. Your body does not burn the fat from the body part that you are moving. To reduce fat from one particular area you must reduce your entire body fat percentage. So, don't overdo it on any exercise for one specific body part and look to getting your whole body in shape.
2) There are no quick fixes.
There is no quick and easy fix - none. No pill, no potion, no miracle diet or exercise program that will ever give you that. Don't be sucked in by another scam again. Spend some time and learn the basics about the importance of keeping your metabolism cranking with proper food and exercise so you can lose the fat and get toned up as well. This will be your long term solution and is the only one that works.
1) Fitness is a lifelong commitment.
Once you have achieved your goals you cannot just stop because you will simply end up exactly like you were before. And if you were unhappy with it then you will be unhappy with it now. Fitness and eating right is a lifelong commitment. By making it so you will reap the rewards of a long and healthy life, filled with energy, strength and vitality.
Remember: Losing weight is not an event, it is a healthy lifestyle change.
