If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then you better keep reading.
It's a simple guide, but one many forget; especially those that wait till the last minute and want instant results. By the way, you can't cram for abs, like you crammed for tests back in school. I don't care what the media tells you!
Getting lean and staying that way basically boils down to 3 consistent steps:
1.) Make a Plan:
Yes, I'm sure you're tired of hearing me say it, but it's the truth. There is no successful outcome without a plan!
+ Make time to plan your meals and track them
+ Make time to plan your fitness (if you're serious, you can't afford to miss workouts)
+ Make time to get your rest.(transformation happens during recuperation--not while working out)
2.) Do Circuit Training:
If time is an issue when it comes to working out, then circuits is the best way to go
+ Ditch the social time workout
+ Do cardio intervals to get the most out of your cardio time
+ Try alternating upper and lower body exercises (3-5 exercises in a row)
3.) Consistent Good Nutrition:
It doesn't have to be perfect, but better than you're eating now.
+ 3 meals per day containing a protein, carbohydrate, and fat (here -->)
+ 2 snacks per day that are basically "mini-meals" (one mid-morning and one mid-afternoon)
+ Cut down or eliminate the sugary drinks and go for water or ice tea (unsweetened).
It's honestly that simple. Just like a travel itinerary or a retirement plan -- you have to make a plan and stick to it. Doing these 3 simple steps consistently will get you the results you want and deserve.
