MOTORV8 yourself!


OK! No excuses! We are a week into the New Year, so you really have no excuses now NOT to kick start your New Years Revolution (http://ff2f-kdawg.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-years-revolution.html).
 So what's it going to be?
 I'm going to give you my advice and tips on 3 different types of goals;
1 - Shed weight
2 - Build mass
3 - Get lean

1. What worked well for me was the right mix of cardio and the correct eating. The best way to shed the pounds is to make sure that energy in is less than energy out. So on the diet side, make sure you are consuming the good foods, cut out the fatty snack and sub in fruits instead IF you feel hungry. Drink plenty of water, don't avoid it! And make a good portion of your weekly exercise CARDIO. Treadmill, jogging, bike riding, group fitness classes, Zumba, light weights HEAPS of reps, boxing! Whatever it takes to make you sweat like a fountain!

2. I have really started to embrace this side of body modification as part of my New Years Revolution! Already I am seeing results. Increase your protein intake as much as you can, and make sure you increase your healthy carbohydrate levels as well. There are some products on the market that provide both the carb’s and the protein. You can also find some that promote even more muscle growth that include BCAA’s. My current work out for muscle growth is www.bodybuilding.com/fun/luis13.htm and this is really starting to show some results. But if you don’t want to go to that extreme or are not quite physically there yet, change your weights routine from medium weight at 15 reps to bigger weights at reps between 6 and 8.

3. This one is great for those who have already done the big thing, but maybe packed on too many fatty kg’s. Or it is great for someone wanting to get into shape to start playing a sport again or just to get lean muscle definition instead of packing on size. Have a 50/50 workout routine of cardio and weights. And when doing weights keep the weights medium stacked, enough to get a burn at 15 or 20 reps but not enough to make you strain on the last set. Also make sure it’s a fully rounded routine incorporating a lot of different exercises each workout. Diet wise, find a ripped protein or a shred protein, these will normally have carb blockers or hunger stoppers in them too. You will want to eat similar to if you were trying to lose kg’s but make sure that the protein stays up there to feed the lean muscles.

If you are struggling to make it to one of these goals and want more tips or advice, feel free to contact me through this blog. Remember I have the advice of 2 personal trainers at my finger tips, ladies and gents.

So what are you waiting for, it won’t be easy, but hey, that’s what this blog…is all about!
