Formula to achieve your best body in 10 weeks


So what does it take to get the kind of body you’ve always wanted? To be able to look in the mirror with pride and confidence? After having gone through the process several times myself, I have come up with a 5 part strategy to owning the body of your dreams. The key points are these:
·         Training ·         Nutrition ·         Mentality With these three areas of focus targeted in on your goal you will be on your way to incredible results. When it comes to your total plan, think of it in 5 parts:

1. Proper Cardio Training
Cardio. Do it. That’s basically all there is to it. I might add that intensity is a good thing, and form is important, don’t waste your time by sloppily jogging for 20 minutes, when you tie your sneakers on and start up the i-pod decide for yourself that you are doing this to make a change (rather than to check it off your to do list) and keep the results in mind while you go. I honestly believe that those positive commitment thoughts will release happy chemicals into your body that assist in the magical results. Besides, If you are hating the process all the way through then maybe it’s not worth it anyway. Find another goal.

2. Proper Muscle contractions (resistance training, toning, shaping)
Whatever you want to call it, you must challenge your muscles. They will not develop tone and shape without being called upon to exceed their current capabilities. There are different methods to challenge yourself, speed, weight, high-rep, isolation, isometrics. The weights are not necessary but the contractions are, weights are a tool that assist you in making those contractions more powerful. Whatever sport you are into, if you use your muscles they will change.

3. Nutrition Plan
Nowhere in this formula does it say anything about starving yourself. Not eating is not an option! You must eat. And eat often. Just make better choices. There are always choices, try to look outside the box, steer away from “comfort foods” (aka, emotional eating) and get creative with your flavor choices, it’s not just about grilled chicken all the time, there are limitless options when it comes to dieting, just open your mind, think outside the box and have fun with food. There are plenty of ways to flavor food without added calories and fat, think herbs, spices, citrus, etc..

4. Adequate Amount of Sleep and Rest
Rest is key to building muscle and burning fat, this can be difficult for the anxious, but you MUST make it a priority if you want to see real results. If you are training hard this won’t be difficult to do. You will be tired by the end of the day, and should feel energized upon rising. Another note on rest is that you should be giving yourself at least 1 day off of physical activity per week. Call it recovery day and pull that card when you need it. Or schedule it into your weekly plan. Don’t over stimulate your body, it will rebel and work against you. You should be able to feel it when you’ve had enough, pay attention to those cues like excessive soreness and fatigue.  

5. Nutrient Supplementation
I much prefer to do the addition diet rather than subtraction. Stop focusing on the cupcakes that you won’t be eating and start thinking about all the incredible variety of delicious natural foods that have powerful body sculpting properties. When people thing of the word supplementation they automatically picture a big vitamin shop with walls and walls of pills and powders promising various results, well guess what! Supplementation does not always mean popping pills and powders. You can supplement your diet naturally with actual food! This just means that you are adding to your diet certain ingredients that you know will help you see results. Examples are: adding flax seeds to your morning oatmeal for extra fiber, Blueberries to your smoothie for antioxidants, Broccoli and carrots to your pasta for vitamins, or salmon to your weekly menu for fish oils. See, the miracle of food is that it contains all sorts of good stuff besides calories. Use the best quality foods you can find and you won’t need to take anything else.

When you combine all of the above factors, the results will come fast. 
If you do only one or two, such as just nutrition or just exercise 
as most people do, then results will be slower or not at all. The combined power of a good diet plan, strong muscle stimulation, and positive thinking will produce a body that will amaze you.
