ONCE YOU’VE STARTED WHAT’S NEXT?

ONCE YOU’VE STARTED WHAT’S NEXT?

Training is all about putting your body in a place that you haven’t been before… Therefore the body needs to overload in order to get the results you need and want! The easiest way to overload the body is to increase your output whist minimizing your input, in simple terms exercise more and eat less.

Output
The quickest and easiest way to strip the fat is to exercise,
undertaking cardiovascular exercise for roughly 40 minute to an hour with an average heart rate of 60-80% Max Heart Rate (220-age= Max HR) will give you an adequate overload. Then completed this 3-4 times a week will increase your energy expenditure giving you a much greater output.
Weight Training will also make a huge difference as it starts to increase your lean muscle mass while the energy expended from this session will be burnt in the recovery process for up to three days post session. This giving you an accelerated effect of fat stripping over a longer period of time. Set yourself up a training program throughout the week with both cardiovascular sessions and weight training sessions all included to ensure that everyday you go to bed you know exactly what is organized for the next day so you can start preparing mentally.
It takes twenty one days o get your body into a routine so get through that initial hard phase now and get the results coming as soon as possible


Input
Eating Healthy and smaller meals during your day will give you reduced levels of input meaning that you have fewer kilojoules to burn before you start getting results. Once again preparation is the key when it comes to your goals, so try and organize your meals for the week on a Sunday afternoon and have some fun with it.
Always have a good breakfast to kick start the metabolism for the day, snacks such as a protein shake or tuna and dry biscuits are always a good alternative for a morning or afternoon as they will keep you going until your main meals at the same time making sure that your metabolism is still ticking over. Having small snacks during the day will also help reduce the size of your main meals as when it comes to meal time your not thinking about how hungry you are, your thinking of what you would enjoy to eat and therefore start to enjoy food rather than eating because you think you are hungry just due to the routine you have always been in.
Drinking lots of water is not just a great source of re-hydration but it can also be used to take your mind off the bad routine of eating ‘junk food’ after your dinner meal. Before you eat at any time, ask yourself if your stomach is hungry or if it is your mind making you feel as though you are hungry due to either a routine you’ve always had, or the advertising genius showing the correct ads at the time of the day that could influence you in to buying a ‘junk’ product from their company of choice.



Whether it’s an increase in output or a decrease in input you need, by making small changes right now you can make a huge difference in your overall goals and results throughout the rest of your life. The key is to be organized so that you have a plan for your week that you can stick to and the best way to stick to this routine is to enjoy it while getting others around you to enjoy the program as well, whilst helping each other out along the way.

These are just some of the ways you can make a difference in your life that will get you heading in the right direction, if you would like more information regarding the article or taking your training to a new level you will find heaps of great ides on our website. www.revolutiononline.com.au
