Do you dream of having that perfect figure? Well, we all do don’t we, even if some of us aren’t willing to admit it. We all want to look in the mirror and see Mr muscle or a beautiful athlete. But how do you get it and achieve this level of beauty? Well, if you want that kind of figure you will have to work for it, it won’t come easy. But you also shouldn’t believe the myths. I know that there are a lot of different claims online and everywhere about how long it takes to get in shape. The range from the ridiculous (two weeks) to the severely pessimistic (two years).
So, the question I’m sure you’re wondering is why am I saying six months? Even if you exercise every single day you probably won’t see any effect for at least a couple of months. The best trainer couldn’t get you looking the way you want in a month let alone two weeks! Six months is a realistic time frame for a toned, attractive figure. But only if you take my advice and follow it to a Tee.
Exercise Regularly
Despite what you may have been told, you don’t have to exercise every day to get in shape. Once every other day is certainly enough, particularly if you have a fast metabolism. That way, you won’t start burning muscle instead of fat because that is the last thing that you want to happen. It’s also vital to know how much exercise you need to complete each day. Those who think the amount changes depending on what exercising you are completing are wrong. Any exercise will benefit your body as long as you are doing it regularly. The right amount of time will almost always depend on your level of endurance as well as your stamina. But, on average, forty minutes of exercise with ninety seconds between sets is a good regime to aim for.
Buy The Right Equipment
If you’re exercising at home, it’s important that you buy the right equipment. If you’re exercising in the gym, then you will have everything you need. But I realize most people would rather exercise in private, and that’s fine. You just need to make sure you are using exercise machines that will actually help you get fit. For example, a classic choice is obviously a treadmill. This will work out your calves as well as your arms if you run properly. However again, don’t spend forever on the treadmill. Otherwise, you will start losing muscle mass.
Change Your Diet
If you’re looking to lose weight rather than just put on muscle, it won’t be enough just to start exercising. You will also need to change your diet. The quickest way to lose weight is to eat less while keeping your diet under control. I recommend you use a calorie counter to watch exactly how much your intake is. That way, you’ll also be able to cut out the foods that add the most calories.
Finally, it’s crucial that you don’t stop and start. Keep this plan up for six months and I guarantee you’ll get the body you want and deserve.
