1. Clean up your refrigerator! The first step to getting that body is to clean up your fridge and go on a structured nutrition plan. Make sure you are stocking up on the lean meats (chicken and fish), and don't eat any carbs past 3pm.
2. Circuit training! Assuming you're hitting the gym already (if you're not, then start... NOW), you have to jump-start your quest for a six pack by doing full body circuit training at least 2-3 times a week. Circuit training is THE BEST way to boost your metabolism and burn that fat even while you are sleeping.
3. Cut out the 30 minute/1 hour cardio sessions and start Interval Training. It has been proven time and time again that Intervals are far superior to long term cardio. The latest research from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has shown that an 8-week cardio program (3 sessions per week of 40 minutes per session) did not result in any fat loss! On the other hand, the interval training group (3 session, 20 minutes per session) in the same study lost several pounds.
4. Change your mindset! Change the way you talk to yourself on a daily basis. A lot of times you will say such things as "I can't" or "I won't " or " It's impossible." You must take these types of negative statements out of your thoughts and vocabulary. Once you think you can or can't do something, you are essentially creating a one-track mind; you are basically telling your mind to tell your body what it can or can't do. Your body will follow what your mind tells it - Your results start in your mind before you see them on your body.
5. Get proper rest. I've been preaching in all of my newsletters to get your butt in gear and hit the gym. So what happens when you actually start to make it a habit? Make sure you get the proper rest. The only way your muscles will develop and burn fat properly is to rest them. Your abs, chest, back, quads etc. all need a minimum of 48 hours to rest and recover. If you do not give your muscles the proper rest, then you are actually doing your body more harm than good.
6. Get a Personal Trainer! I am not blatantly advertising my services, you don't even need to train with me. But it is proven that you will achieve your results 80% faster with a trainer than just training by yourself. You get motivation, a nutrition plan, a tried-and-tested training program - and it's just plain FUN. Do yourself a favour and try JUST ONE session with a trainer. You will come out thoroughly impressed. My next newsletter will actually touch upon how to FIND the right trainer. Stay tuned.
Take these 6 tips and you will be on the fast track to getting that beach-ready body. When training, be safe and listen to your body.
