How to get started!

           A lot of people want to lose weight and gain muscle. They really do, but most of them don't know where to start. They see the commercials on t.v. for all these gadgets saying you will lose XX pounds within X amounts of months. What they don't tell you is, how you will be able to that. You won't be able to lose, let's say, 50 pounds in one month just by using a bow flex. You won't be able to get rock hard abs in a week just by doing the exercises they show you in that commercial. It takes time, and most of all it takes hard work and dedication.

           To start off, you need to have the will and dedication to better yourself. You won't get anywhere if you don't want to do it. You must have that self push in order to accomplish the goal you have. The single most important aspect of getting into shape is your eating habits. Nutrition is key to success. You won't get in shape by eating McDonald's all day. You have to have a diet plan and you have to stick to that diet. It's fine to cheat every once and awhile and treat yourself with something good, but overall you need to stick to it strictly.           

         If you are planning to lose weight you need to eat at a calorie deficiency. If you plan to gain muscle you need to eat at a calorie surplus and add a lot of protein to your diet. I will go into more detail on my next blog when I get free time. Thank you for reading.
