Simplicity to Reach Goals

With all the vast information on the interwebz about training and nutrition it's a wonder that anyone reaches their goals sometimes. As I'm sitting here eating chicken and rice it came to me that I should just simplify it in a blog for those who care. First things first, set yourself up to succeed. Here's what you have to do:

Step 1- Have a Reasonable Goal

So many times people want to go from Jobba-the-Hut to Hugh Jackman in just a few months. While 1 percent of the population may be able to change their lives like the example above, odds are you don't fit in this category. A better idea would be to make lifestyle goals that will lead to a better physique over time. This is more sustainable than a "diet."

Step 2: Your Plan

Here it goes hundreds of dollars worth of information coming at ya. 

Go to the If it fits in your macros website and follow the instructions on how to start. Seriously buy a food scale and some measuring cups as it states. Then download one of the apps like myfitnesspal as well. Then just log your foods and stay within your macros. Now this does not mean eat like shit if it fits. It means eat good nutritious foods as much as you can but when you break down stay with in your macros. You can't make it any easier than this.

Now join a gym. Then spend 30 bucks on 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler. Read it then re-read it. The download the app and plug in your maxes. Then follow the workouts. You will build strength and muscle which will give you that toned look. This program is simple and effective. 

Finally understand its a life change not a temporary diet. In order to transform your body you must transform your life. So fuel your body with nutritious foods and move some weights. In less than a year you will be staring at a different person in the mirror.

Good Luck and Train to be Awesome
