Four Steps To The Body Of Your Dreams: Your How To Guide
If you’re on a mission to build the body of
your dreams, it’s vital that you’re making sure that you have a good game plan
in place. Many people set out with an
end goal that they want to achieve, but don’t take the necessary steps to
figure out how exactly they are going to achieve it.
If you want to see good results, you must
make sure that you’re following a smart protocol that is designed to work with
your body to get you the look that you’re after.
Let’s give you a step by step guide for
doing so.
Step
One: Determine Your Look
First things first, you need to get it
clear in your mind the precise look that you’re going for. If you don’t have a clear visual in mind of
what it is you want to look like, it’s hard to develop a training routine
that’s going to be effective.
Remember to keep this ‘look’ you desire
reasonable and realistic, otherwise you’re fighting a losing battle from the
beginning.
Step
Two: Plan Your Diet
Once you have your desired look, then you
need to form a diet plan. If the look
involves getting slimmer or leaner then a reduced calorie intake needs to be
utilized. If the look involves getting
larger and building muscle or adding curves if you’re a female, then adding
more calories to your current diet will be necessary.
A good place to start is adding or
subtracting 300-500 calories in either direction as this should get you seeing
progress quite quickly.
Then make sure that you eliminate all the
processed and refined foods from your diet, so you’re eating as many natural
foods as possible. Get an even mix of
proteins, carbs, and fats in each snack, with the carb and fat intake being
slightly lower for those looking to lose weight and higher for those looking to
gain.
Step
Three: Design Your Weight Workout
After the diet is in place, then it comes
time to design a workout. Weight
training is the best exercise for reshaping your body, so it’s what you’ll want
to turn to.
If you want to bring out more muscle
definition in certain regions, add in a few isolated exercises for those muscle
groups. Be sure that you also have the
compound exercises in place as well, as these will be key to building full body
strength and conditioning.
If you want to lose fat, aim to keep the
rest breaks between sets shorter as this will enable you to experience a better
metabolic boost after each workout.
Step
Four: Factor In Cardio
Finally, the last step is to factor in
cardio. If you’re trying to fill out or
build muscle, your cardio exercise will be minimal as you don’t want to be
burning off too many additional calories.
If you’re looking to lose fat on the other
hand, then you’ll want to add more cardio in.
Cardio should be a mixture of interval
session as well as longer, moderate paced sessions to keep good balance in your
program.
Just be sure to never let yourself
sacrifice your weight lifting performance for cardio training instead as cardio
simply isn’t as effective for changing your body.
So there you have the top things that you
should remember with regards to designing a complete body transformation
plan. If you take the time now to lay
everything out, all you’ll have to do is follow your ‘road map’ for success.
