How to get the body of your dreams

Making long lasting changes to your body does not necessarily involve going for short quick fix solutions like intense body detoxifying and dieting, starving yourself in the name of fasting, taking trimming pills or intense absurd exercise solutions two to three hours every day of the week. These solutions have surmountable effects like chronic fatigue, muscular degradation, insomnia, and burnout.

The easy and simple ways, which you can incorporate all at the same time without tearing yourself apart may be as follows-

Good and well planned cardio programme: We all know that there are various parts on our body that act as fat reserves. Examples of these areas are the thighs, arms, neck and the butt for most ladies. Losing stubborn fat effectively from these areas simply calls for a change in how you do your cardio exercise, be it running on a treadmill, doing aerobics or just walking.

Stop doing the same activity over and over with the same intensity each time you walk into the gym facility or working out outdoors. If you do, your body will go under a state called (plateau mode). This is when the body is under stagnation despite working out so hard, which means no changes are seen. That is why most women complain that despite working out for long, they see slight or no changes at all. The idea is to get out of that comfort zone, going the extra mile and do what is necessary even if it burns more.

One of the best training to incorporate in your training programme is the Sprint Interval Training or (SIT). This involves short quick bust runs that last few seconds in between the cardio training, then slow ones to increase your workout intensity. If you are training outside, start with walking, brisk walk after a few distance, then jog slowly for a while. Finish with a quick short run and repeat this cycle throughout your exercise. This helps to confuse your muscles to work at it optimum hence, burning more fat.

Good strength and endurance training solution: When toning your body, blasting fat burning process doesn’t mean you fully concentrate on doing isolation exercises and machines that you see. Isolation exercise only works on a specific body part throughout your training session but because fat is evenly distributed in the body, this type of exercise will be completely ineffective if your focus is to burn fat in general. Just stop doing machines and consider what we call Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) for more benefits.

MRT is the type of exercise that has little rest of about ten to 20 seconds in between the exercise in an effort to increase metabolic reaction and maximise calorie burning process during and after the workout. This exercise uses both your strength and cardio endurance to get more result as most of your body muscles are involved and the workout done all at the same time.

Jumping jacks, front and side dumbbell, shoulder raises with a leg lounge, followed by a few press ups, is a great example of metabolic exercise because they work both your upper and lower body simultaneously. These set of exercises are called CURCUIT. It is also great for cardio endurance since your heart rate goes up while doing them. This, in the process, helps you to burn more as you tone your body at the same time.

When you push your body to the extreme, we have what we call Cross Fit Training. This is where a few intense exercises will be added to the circuit and repeated in a cycle with very little or no rest to push the body to its absolute limit. It works effectively especially for those who want to shed and tone more. An insanity workout is a good example of this workout. Qualification for this is that you have to be physically fit and must have gone through the above levels. It just gives you an extra edge of wanting greater physical look.

With the above insight, you finally have tips to go get that body you have always yearned for.
