Whatever your goal may be to look like, figure it out and put together a plan of action to get there. You are not going to get there by wishing.
So here we go, an action plan to achieve your dream body!
1. Decide how much you really want this! Is this something you think about every once in a while or is it something you think about everyday? If it is something you think about everyday then you are in the right state of mind. Tell yourself "I can do this!". Mindset is just as important as the actions to get there.
2. Set a goal. Set a target body fat percentage, size, or goal weight. A target picture is a great tool as well. Set that goal and tell someone so that they can hold you accountable. Write that goal down and put in in your bedroom, on your refrigerator, or in your bathroom so that you see it everyday. Seeing that goal written down will help you to get there.
3. Change the way you eat. If you do not have your dream body right now, it usually is because you are not putting the right food in your body. You are what you eat. So if you put fast food, foods loaded with sugar, or convenience foods in your body, it will show. You can't eat Publix Subs and Pumpkin Pie Ice cream for dinner and expect to have your dream body and feel great!
The Ice Cream is 170 Calories in a 1/2 cup and 18g of sugar. (That's 9 teaspoons of sugar). Imagine eating 9 teaspoons of sugar in one sitting with a spoon. Now imagine what this meal does to your body. Basically you are putting yourself at risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease over time. You are also hurting your performance in the gym as well. You will have decreased energy and a sluggish performance. Whereas if you eat clean on a regular basis you will have more energy and a better performance. You get more out of your body when you put the right fuel into your body.
How about something like this on a regular basis?
An alternate meal to the Convenience foods (The Publix Sub and Ice cream) is this.
Dessert:
That dessert is only 45 Calories and 1.5g of sugar. A much better choice and yes you can still eat dessert!
4. Make time to workout. Working out and moving your body is a big component to getting your dream body. If you do not workout, your dream body will not happen. I believe in doing a combination of things and not doing the same thing everyday. This is important. Do not do the same routine everyday. I suggest people workout 4 to 5 days a week and do a combination of cardio (running, walking, doing functional workouts) and weight training. It is important to do different things to trick your body and raise your metabolism. I am not a fan of going to a gym and doing circuits on machines. This alone is not going to give you the body of your dreams. The key is to move your body, functional exercises, and weight training. I promise if you do these things you will see visible results. If you are local and looking for a gym check out ASM Fitness in Eustis!
5. Supplements. I believe that supplements are an important part of your transformation. You can't get everything you need from your daily food. There are nutritional gaps that we all have, so we must fill those in. I take a variety of Advocare supplements, things like Omega's, Joint Promotion, and Pre and Post workout supplements. These things help me to fill in the gaps and fuel my body properly. If you want to discuss supplementation please contact me. I would be glad to help!
6. Support. This is just as important as food and exercise. If you don't have support in your efforts, it's going to make the journey a lot harder. Find a person or gym environment where there are plenty of positive people to support you. Having someone else complement you on your hard work and results makes the process so fulfilling. I love the environment and support at my gym. It's like one big family and makes going to workout a wonderful experience. Find your support system and stay close to it.
The road to your dream body is 100% possible. What are you going to do to get it? Sit down, make a plan and execute it.
