If it's not broken why fix it
It's towards the end of the week and I'm sure everyone is really to just sit back and relax for this weekend. For those who actually have to get up Saturday morning and work, God Bless you.
But there's a point I want to hit home today that really got me thinking and should get you thinking also.
If someone gave you the step by step approach to making a million dollars would you follow it?
I mean if Oprah came out right now and said hey I got a book that will tell you exactly everything I did to get to where I'm at now, would you buy it?
Besides the fact that everyone buys any book that is on Oprah, you would probably get it more so because she's RICH. But the point to take home is that she's a success story who has put her plans to work and is living a wonderful life.
What does this have to do with fitness?
Well look at any success story out there and you will find that people are pretty much doing all the same things to get in the best shapes of their lives but yet obesity is still on the rise, people are miserable with the way they look.
If there's a formula on how to drop fat that is proven time and time again why aren't we following it?
What's the formula?
1- Small frequent meals.
You cannot get away from this, you just can't. Yes eating less calories helps but eating more frequently helps even more.
2- Intense exercise
Walking is nice, riding a bike and reading a book is nicer but both will do very little to shed bodyfat at a rapid pace. If you're interested in dropping fat and looking more toned you will need to lift moderate to heavy weights and also include some intense cardio as well.
Please note if you've never worked out before and you're overweight that walking can very well be intense enough, so please don't go out there and start running before you're ready.
There's more to the proven formula of training to drop body fat. I will talk more about this later next week. Enjoy your weekend.
