The Secret To Getting Lean

Most people want to get in great shape, where they are lean, tone, and fit. But, most people don't have a clue as to how to get into amazing shape. There are so many myths and misinformation out there, causing people to struggle with their weight. As a personal trainer, I have seen hundreds of people make the same mistakes over and over again. But, I am going to give you some valuable tips on how to burn tons of fat and tone up your entire body.

First thing you must do is start an exercise program. Now, if you have not worked out for a long time or ever, start slow. In the beginning you should only exercise about two days per week. Then after another two weeks, you will want to exercise three days per week. You will need to keep increasing your workouts until you reach about 6 workouts per week. This will ensure that you incrementally adjust to exercising most of the week. The biggest mistake that I have seen my clients make is doing too much too soon. And that is true for just about everyone. That is why most people fail weight a weight loss program. They become over-whelmed and the process becomes very painful. And people will always avoid pain, while seeking pleasure. I want you to find exercising and eating healthy to be a pleasurable experience. This will have you being consistent and making a lifestyle change that will keep you fit and healthy for the rest of your life.

Now, what is the best form of exercise to get me to lose tons of fat? Great question. Just like I have my clients do, you must lift weights. Why? Weight resistance builds and tones your muscle, thus boosting your metabolic rate, causing you to burn tons of fat. Plus, weight resistance increases your bone density, gives you great shape, and slows down the aging process.

You will want to do whole body workouts based around basic and compound movements, which are movements that work several muscle groups at one time, such as the squats, leg presses, barbell rows, bench presses, and shoulder presses. You will burn more fat for a much longer period of time if you do whole body workouts as opposed to one or two muscle groups per workout. As soon as my clients started doing whole body workouts, they began to see their body fat drop much faster.

Now, here is the most critical component to you dropping tons of fat in record time. Your diet. Your nutrition is going to be the key factor for you to lose serious amounts of weight. To start, you must cut out all junk foods and processed foods and opt for more natural foods. You will want to eat about 1 to 1.5 grams of protein for each pound you weigh from quality protein sources, such as lean red meat, chicken breasts, fish, egg whites, whey protein, and turkey. If you really want to shed mounds of fat fast, you will need to reduce your carbohydrate intake to about 40 to 50 grams, consisting mostly of fibrous vegetables. Do this for a few weeks and you will see a massive fat reduction in your body, just like my clients.
