Since I can't sleep and Blogger just released an iPhone app for its blogging service, I shall give you tips on getting in shape.
1. Do not skip meals.
It does sound ironic but if you skip meals, you will burn not the fats, but the muscle proteins more. Besides, your body needs energy to gain those muscles!
Instead, grab a fruit juice or a light meal. On average, your meal you should give you a calorie count of 800. That's if you eat 3 meals a day.
What you want to aim for is a deficit. Cut down on you calorie intake and your body will respond by burning the fat.
2. Gym, with confidence
Have a workout regime figured out. Don't worry about hitting low weights first. Be comfortable with what you can do and progress slowly.
Make it a point to draw a time table. Say maybe run on days 1, 3 and 5. But gym on days 2 and 4.
When you gym, decide beforehand on which part of the body you want to concentrate on. Upper body? Triceps, biceps, shoulders, chest, abs. Lower body? Glutes, calves, quads, abductors, hips.
Another point to note is to make sure you know how to use the machine or the free weights. We don't want any injury at the end of the day.
Get a friend to gym with you too! It really is better with a friend pushing you. And when you push yourself, remember to know your limits. One hour of weights will be enough. Any more, you will feel exhausted afterwards. (don't forget typed of workouts as well! Super sets etc)
3. Rest your limits
Yes, getting into shape is a definite plus but remember your limits. But its a want. You're still doing other stuff. And not being able to do what is needed is bad.
So do the society a favour.
