The time is now to start seeing results and getting serious about your diet, workout and fitness program. It’s time to stop making excuses, putting off getting seriously lean and fit and delaying your diet another day.
Now is the time to lose a serious amount of body fat, build lean, dense muscle tissue and get fit beyond your wildest imagination. Before long people will notice your hard work and dedication and will display admiration at your awe-inspiring physique.
Get Motivated
Sometimes it’s difficult to get motivated and get serious about making a major improvement to your physique. It’s hard to visualize what you could potentially look and feel like a few months down the road and it’s often easier to keep doing the same old thing and hope for great results.
The fact is, noticeable fat loss and muscle building is possible when you get serious about your diet and workout program. Visualization and specific, attainable goals can be powerful motivators that can help you really crank up the intensity in the gym.
Make the Commitment
Are you ready? Are you ready to put down the cupcakes and pie and pick up a pair of dumbbells?
That’s the first step – make the commitment. Commit to eating food only for recovery, muscle growth and to stimulate your metabolism. Commit to cranking up the intensity in the gym and elevate the heart rate for a minimum of forty-five minutes per day, every day. Commit to getting out of bed at a reasonable time every day, no matter how badly you want to sleep in.
Make the commitment and make it happen.
Establish Goals
Once you’ve committed to taking the necessary steps to getting your physique in the condition you want it, you must establish realistic, short-term and long-term goals. These goals should be attainable but challenging enough that you must work hard and maintain your commitment to achieve them. By setting weekly, monthly and quarterly goals, you are much more likely to adhere to your diet and workout program and see mind-blowing results.
Many of these principles are explained in greater detail in The Renaissance Diet 2.0: Your Scientific Guide to Fat Loss, Muscle Gain and Performance. By far this is the most comprehensive, easily understood book on structuring nutrition for optimal fat loss and muscle building that I have read to date.
Document
One of the most effective motivational and accountability strategies for staying disciplined and committed to losing fat and gaining muscle is keeping a journal. Keeping a journal with short, personal narratives can be the key in pushing you past a plateau and into a new level of fitness motivation.
Documentation of body weight, body measurements and caloric intake on a daily and weekly basis will help you see where you’ve come from, how you will get where you need to go and make the necessary adjustments to achieve your fitness goals.
Pick a Program and Stick with It
When you get serious about losing a serious amount of weight and building large amounts of muscle mass, it’s easy to try several different fat loss programs or muscle building programs in a short period of time.
Generally speaking, once you’ve decided to get serious about seeing noticeable results you should select a program that has been proven to work and stick with it for at least three months. There are several tried-and-true fat loss and muscle building programs that have been proven to work very well. Pick one and stick with it.
So here you are. Now is the time to get in gear and start shedding fat and developing lean muscle mass. Get to it and keep the above tips in mind while building your dream body.
