Are you looking for that slim toned look? Do you want to be in shape and more attractive? Well I have the answers for you! This article is going to focus on getting the muscular look without the bulkiness. Read on and I shall show you the way. And as always consult your physcian before changing your diet or doing any exercise.
My previous article focused on slimming down by changing your diet. Before you start following this article, you need to read that article. This will give you the diet you need in order to lose weight. The only thing you will need to change is by using an energy drink. And I don't mean Red Bull. I'm talking about Gatorade, Powerade, etc. This will help give you the electrolytes you need for your work out. Creatine is also great for giving you energy for your workout. Adding B vitamins will give you energy as well. If you are already slim then you may want to add a protein shake to your diet. I wouldn't recommend a weight gainer. A low fat protein supplement should do the trick. This is so you can maintain your weight.
After some time, you will notice that you are gaining weight, and this is only because you are gaining muscle tone. Muscle is more dense than fat, therefore you will be heavier, even if your size hasn't changed. If you are overwieght a protein shake won't do you much good. There is still fat in a low fat protein supplement, and you don't want to add anymore than what you get on a normal basis. The fat that you have in your body will turn into muscle. If you decide to take a shake, drink it about an hour before your workout. You don't want to get an upset stomach while working out. Then drink an energy drink afterwards. For those of you who decide not to use a shake, drink your energy drink about 15 minutes prior to your workout. Sip on it during your workout, and then drink another after your workout. One 32 oz. bottle should be enough for before, during, and after.
The biggest advice I can give you for your workouts is CALISTHETICS!!! Cardio type workouts is the best way to burn off fat without gaining too much muscle. You want to include running, sit ups, push ups, pull ups, and anything else that involves using your own body weight. I would start off your workout with jumping jacks to get your heart pumping. Do as many as needed to raise your heart rate considerably. For me I need to do about 50. Some may only need to do 25. After that you will want to start with the fat and calorie burning. The best way to do this is to run. If you are overweight I would recommend you use an elliptical or a stationary bike. You don't want to over exert your ankles and knees. If you are new to running I would start with a brisk walk for about 1 to 2 minutes then build up to a jog around 4 to 5 mph. Maintain this for about 10 to 20 minutes. Don't quit when your body starts hurting. Always remember, no pain no gain! For more experienced runners 20 to 45 minutes will be good. After your run you will want to start your calisthetic exercises. I don't want to get into any numbers for how many you should do, because it's different for everyone. But basically you want to these different exercises until you practically can't do them anymore. If you do this properly you should take the next day off or do a lighter exercise to allow time for your muscles to heal. After your finished with your calisthetics you may work with weights. If you can barely curl 5 lbs. after your calisthetics then consider yourself done for the day. There are two different types of working out, and that is total body or pinpoint. For toning up I recommend total body. This means you need to do almost every machine that is in the gym. You will want to target legs, abs, back, arms, neck, etc. all in one workout. Don't forget you can also choose to do free weights. If you have never worked out before and don't know proper form, I would stick to the machines.
Now that I've gotten the working out portion over with I want to put emphasis on how much weight and how many reps you want to do. This is a very easy formula for you to figure out. You want to choose a weight that is easy for you to lift. I would recommend that you choose a weight that will allow you to do 10 to 20 reps, and about 3 to 4 sets of these. A lot of people refer to this as, low weight, high reps. You have chosen the right weight for you if you can hardly lift near the end of your last set. You will want to gradually raise your reps and weight. When you decide to increase what you are doing, increase your reps twice as many times as you increase your weight.
Let's recap what you have learned. Change your diet as explained by my previous article. Then, add simple energy enhancers. Stick with cardio exercises, utilizing your own weight. Lastly, stick with low wieght when using machines or free weights. Make sure you keep at this on a regular basis, like every other day for instance. A fat reducing review can help you establish a clear describe of what you need to focus on to complete your fat reducing target if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more advance step of their weightloss plan. Applying are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to eliminate more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. In time you will start to notice the difference in the way you look.
