Get Ripped Ready to get a ripped body? Here are some suggestions that can help
you accomplish your goal. I would suggest that you only follow these if
you already have a measure of fitness behind you. These suggestions
might be too much for someone just starting to get into shape. But,
these suggestions will help you see results in no time.
It's important to understand that if you're already in shape, you already have the muscle foundation you need. All you need to do now is lose some body fat so those muscles underneath can show through. The strength training program you are doing is probably alright, you just need to make sure you are doing enough cardio exercise and you diet is good.
In regards to the actual training plan, you have options. You can either adopt an existing plan or create your own. If you decide to use an existing plan, I suggest either P90X or Body for Life. Both are fine and proven programs that focus on these same goals. But, especially if you are going to create your own, here are the guidelines:
1. Work out six days per week. This regularity helps keep your metabolism high and burning more fat. I suggest to take Sundays off to allow your body to recover from the intense training.
2. Perform your resistance training with a lot of intensity and circuits. This really boosts your metabolism to burn fat 24/7! Also, it cause larger muscles that will help with your definition. Here are ideas for good exercises.
3. Drink lots of water. Your body simply won't do what you want it to do if it's cells don't have water. The suggestion is a half ounce of water per pound of muscle every day.
4. Protein. In case you don't know, muscles are built from protein. If you don't give it to your body, the muscles can't grow. Most people don't get enough protein in their diets, so I suggest getting some whey protein powder and mixing up a protein shake each day.
5. Get off any junk food now! Avoid sugar at all costs. Eat a lot of chicken, rice, potatoes, vegetables and fruits.
6. Recovery. Most people don't understand the importance of allowing your body to recover from training. Without it, your body breaks down and doesn't improve. This means rest and good sleep.
That completes a very basic, but fundamental list of guidelines that will help you achieve a ripped body.
