Okay this is how I did it.....(remember, I'm not an expert or anything, I just followed someone else's routine, lots of experimenting and incorporated what worked for me into my routines...) I'm pretty much an amateur. Here it goes::::. Visualize what I wanted to Look Like. On a calendar, set milestone goals for every month. For example, today March 18, 2002 and April 18, I want to be at this weight, etc. If I'm a week away from my milestone date, and I'm not even close to my milestone goal, then I would work harder that week to try and meet that goal. If I fail, I look back and think what I could do to improve....And if I reached my goal, I continue my diet and routine. Your goals however must be realistic! :). And also, take before and after pictures..therefore you can compare (this helps alot)... . Training Schedule: M-W-F. First thing in the morning, I'd run two miles. I'd time myself for that week. And with the best time for that week, I'd try to increase my time the following week. M-T-W-TH-F-SAT-SUN (weight train at nights) Monday: Chest, Triceps Tuesday: Back, Biceps, Cardio Wednesday: Shoulders Thursday: Legs Friday: Abs, Rotator Cuffs, Forearms, Lower Back, Cardio Saturday - Eat Whatever and whenever! Go to the Beach! Sunday - morning, i'd sometimes go to a yoga class. Rest, Go to the Beach! Sleep! .Diet: I know you read this before or heard it millions of time but here it is again! EAT 6 meals a day!! and drink lots of Water! Moderate Carbs, More Protein....never make yourself go hungry. I wouldn't cut out most of the stuff I ate before, what I did was have them prepared differently...For example, instead of Fried, perhaps have them broiled?..you get the idea. I can go on and on...Stay away from sugar and salty foods... . Supplements: Gains: EAS Myoplex EAS Phosphagen Beta Gen Fat Loss: MuscleTech HydroxyCut (this worked best for me) Ripped Fuel . Tips/Motivation Once I saw the fat melting away, It only motivated me even more. (Success leads to Motivation, Motivation Leads to Success!) I would often remember the people saying that I couldn't do it, therefore I had to prove them wrong. As for weight training, I'd alter my weights every other week with HIGH REPS-LIGHTER WEIGHTS, the next week LOW REPS-HEAVIER WEIGHTS. Consistency is the KEY! Don't give up...you won't definitely see results overnight. Have Patience, patience, patience....Keep a LOG of everything you do..Reps, Weight, exercise..etc.... And also, it depends on the individual...If YOU REALLY WANT IT BAD, you'll work your ass off getting it. I know I did. Although my routine might not work for everyone, try experimenting and from there, incorporate what works for you. Hope that helps! Good Luck! |
