Beginners Fitness Guide
Mr. Tayyab provides a quick fitness guide for beginners.
Increasing awareness through media and the internet is motivating more people today to adopt healthier lifestyles. More young adults are trying to make lifestyle changes that can help them get fit.
Unfortunately, most do not know the right way to achieve the right body. They often adopt unhealthy diet programs and boot camps, which can pose health risks in the long run. Here is a quick fitness guide for beginners looking for the right way to achieve the right body.
Take it Slow
The most common and significant blunder beginners make is to aim for an overnight transformation. You have been munching on those cheeseburgers for years. Expecting your body to shed all the effects in a week is ridiculous.
Please take a deep breath and tell yourself that it will be a long but fruitful journey. Your goal should be getting fit, not gaining or shedding inches. Be consistent with your regime and routine; you will start seeing the results gradually but steadily.
Workout Regime
It is not possible to remain fit without following a proper workout regime. That being said, the workout does not mean spending three hours on a treadmill mindlessly. For long-lasting results, it is recommended that you have a well-rounded exercise regime that trains your body for strength and endurance.
It is highly recommended that you hire a personal trainer and opt for High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This program combines multiple high-intensity exercises that keep you motivated without making you bored. Moreover, it covers all body areas without any dependence on machines.
That means you can also follow this workout at home. Work out no more than five days a week so that your muscles have a chance to recover.
Eating Habits
Most beginners are in a rush to get their desired bodies and, as a result, resort to crash diet programs. Crash diets are not only a very unhealthy and risky method of shedding weight, but the results do not last long. Moreover, the crash diet can only help in weight loss but not in getting fit.
They can make you sick and create medical issues in the long run. Moreover, crash diets do not give long-lasting results, and you often get back your inches once you stop your diet. For a fit body, ensure you eat clean and healthy but eat well. Starving yourself is the most inappropriate way to get a fit body.
Start early and take five to six small meals so your body does not starve. Cut down on carbs and eat more proteins. Eliminate aerated drinks and ensure your last meal is at 8 PM. Green salads would be your best bet if you feel the need for snacking.
Supplements
Fitness is not about having a specific body shape or size; it is about staying healthy, active, and functional. A fit body is a well-nourished one that does not have any deficiencies. Unfortunately, even the best diets sometimes fall short of providing the correct nutrition.
Supplements such as Calcium and multivitamins can fill in these shortfalls. Suppose you are specifically looking for an athletic body or abs. In that case, it is highly recommended that you take protein bars along with your high-protein diet since protein catalyzes the muscle-building process.
