4 Critical Factors to achieving your dreambody
"The 4 Critical Factors to
Achieving Your Dream Body"
by Tony Tass.
Pay close attention.
I'm about to tell you everything
you need to know to get
the dream body you've always
wanted. You can do this
WITH JUST the information
I'm about to give you.
So if you're interested in
achieving a body that's leaner,
healthier, and more muscular,
pay VERY close attention.
There are 4 (FOUR) Factors
that anyone who wants to transform
their body, needs to do or
follow. No if's, and's, or
but's.
There are NO SHORTCUTS. These
MUST be followed.
The 4 Factors are:
1) Eat a Proper Diet
2) Do some Aerobic Exercise
3) Perform some type of Weight
Training
4) Get enough Rest
------------------------------
1) Eat a Proper Diet
------------------------------
This first factor is extremely
important. First off, before
you can change your diet for
the better, you need to know
exactly what it is that you're
eating on a daily basis.
The best way to do this is
to write down everything you
eat. You can use software
for this or do it manually,
using a book such as "The
Complete Book of Calorie Counts",
by Corinne Netzer.
Once you've looked at what
you're eating, you have to
make the necessary changes.
For some, it may be as simple
as eliminating junk food.
For others, you need a complete
overhaul of your diet.
What you need to eat, and
what works best for most people
is a diet properly balanced
between Protein, Carbs, and
Fat. That does not mean following
a 90% carb diet, nor does
it mean following a 90% Protein
diet either.
Start off with something like
a diet similar to a Zone-type
diet where you're eating 40%
carbs, 30% protein, and 30%
fat. See how this works and
then fine tune it. Make small
adjustments week to week,
for example increase protein
5% and decrease fat 5%, etc.
By doing this, and noting
the change, you'll become
a master at knowing your body
and how it responds to different
diets.
And eat ONLY until you're
full. DO NOT eat past that,
even if it means you're leaving
food on your plate.
Make sure you get all your
food in at least 4 meals a
day and, preferably 5 or 6.
By eating smaller meals, spaced
throughout the day, you'll
have better energy, and will
increase your metabolism.
------------------------------
2) Aerobic Exercise
------------------------------
Aerobic exercise is important
for 3 reasons.
1) It's very good for your
heart
2) It helps to increase your
metabolism
3) It burns extra calories
I recommend that you do some
kind of aerobic exercise 3-4
times per week for about 30
minutes each time.
Now, you may burn only 200-300
calories during this time,
which to be quite honest is
not much.
However, your heart rate and
metabolism are both elevated
for many hours AFTER your
30 minutes of aerobic exercise
and you could burn another
200-300 calories over the
next 7-8 hrs.
Remember, the heart is a muscle,
so do your aerobic exercise.
And as a bonus, the calories
burned will help you achieve
your goals faster.
If you're already lean enough,
you could cut down on the
aerobic exercise to 2-3 times
a week.
If you hate aerobic exercise
(like sitting on a stationary
bike), do what I do. Use this
time to read a book or magazine
you enjoy. You'll be amazed
at how quick the 30 minutes
is over.
----------------------------
3) Weight Training
----------------------------
Weight Training is extremely
important because:
1) It builds muscle
2) Alters your body composition
I recommend training with
weights 2 times per week,
up to a maximum of 3 times
per week. You can split the
body up into 2 parts and do
half one day, and the other
half 3-4 days later.
Do exercises such as Squats,
Bench Presses, Overhead Presses,
Dips, Chin-Ups, Lat Pulldowns,
and Deadlifts.
These basic, free weight exercises
will pack on more
calorie-burning muscle than
any machine ever could. They
will also help you build muscle
the fastest.
By performing exercises that
involve large muscle groups,
you are recruiting more muscle
fibers when you lift, which
will ultimately lead to better
muscle gains for you.
Remember that every pound
of muscle you gain, will burn
calories just by existing.
That is if you gain 5 lbs
of muscle, you will burn extra
calories EVERY DAY because
that muscle needs nutrients
to live.
So guess what? You can eat
more and NOT gain weight.
So do your weight training.
------------
4) Rest
------------
This last factor is the one
that most often overlooked.
If all you do is lift weights,
do aerobic exercise, and not
sleep or rest much, you will
quickly overtrain, and build
up a lot of stress and completely
stop your progress.
You'll be eating right, lifting
hard, doing aerobic exercise,
but if you get 4 hrs of sleep
a night, you are wasting your
time.
The body needs to rest. It's
during this rest that your
body will repair itself and
get stronger. Please DO NOT
short-circuit this process.
Get AT LEAST 7-8 hrs sleep
per night.
It will do WONDERS for your
progress and FAT LOSS.
Follow the 4 Critical Factors
I explained above and you
will be well on your way to
achieving the DREAM BODY you've
always wanted.
Good Luck with all your Fatloss
& Fitness Goals!
