When I first started working out I was completely lost and overwhelmed.
What exercises actually matter?
Is my form right?
What supplements should I take, can I take those?
Do I have to eat boiled chicken and plain rice all the time?
Do I have to workout for 2 -3 hours a day?
I'm sore, do I really have to go back?
These are all questions that went through my head as I was starting out.
Why?
Because these are things you see or hear that you need to do or be doing in order to reach your fitness goals.
To be completely honest, I’ve listened to just about all of it and failed several times because of that.
I would have never gotten my results if it weren't for me switching my focus to these 3 things!
1️⃣ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀
I know this is tedious but if you don't know what is going into your body, how do you expect to calculate how much you can expend? Food is fuel for your body, if you are constantly running on EMPTY then your body will begin to break down. Abs are made in the kitchen and nutrition is 80% of the work regarding fitness. MyFitnessPal is a free app and takes 5 min or less to track a whole day of food!
2️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱
To build muscle and gain strength, you need to gradually increase the weight, frequency, or number of repetitions in your workout training routine, usually every week of training. This challenges your body and allows your muscles to grow and get stronger.
3️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲
Protein is KEY to muscle growth. It helps repair, maintain, and grow muscles. Protein also helps provide energy in the form of amino acids. Taking 1g per pound of body weight is recommended to see muscle growth and keep you ready for your workouts.
