Let me paint you a picture. Back in 2009, well before the thought of Ab Rocket Reviews ever crossed my mind, I was grossly overweight. Some may call it obese. I weighted in at around 130kg, and always blamed my low metabolism as the reason for my size. You know all of those people who can consistently eat anything and get away with it? Now, whilst a low metabolism was certainly a contributor to my size, it was not the be all and end all.
For one, I ate terribly. I used to complain about how healthy food was so expensive, when it was portion size that would actually make food cheaper after all. I used to complain that I was not fit enough to go to the gym, when all that my problem was, was a simple lack of confidence. Who wants to be the fat person at the gym anyway? It did take me my first visit to the gym to realise that not all people are super fit at a gym though, after all, this is why we go, right?
So, here I am today, writing this article at just under 80kg, in an attempt to show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I still have a way to go, and am by no means in ideal shape, but through using a great fitness plan, I have made some serious movement. What to know how I did it?
If you could change one thing above all else, it will always be your diet. This is the stuff that powers your body, and gives you the energy to tackle the day, and is just so important! The right diet will give you the ability to burn fat, to repair muscle, and speed up your metabolism. I will give examples as I go through my workouts for you.
The Treadmill is a great place to start. Don't run just yet, let your body ease into it. Every time I visit the gym, I will walk at least 4 kilometres at around 6kph to get my heart rate up. Based on your body type and age, you will be able to reach the perfect heart rate range to burn fat, however, this is something that you really should consult with your doctor first about. You don't want to push yourself too far. Also, keep your water intake up, as you will be losing litres of water as you workout.
The Cross Trainer is the enemy of many people. Very hard to start out on, you can easily adapt to this machine over the space of a few days. First workouts are hard, with most people being unable to last more than a few minutes, but after a week, you should easily be able to do a 20 minute workout. Start with a low level of resistance, and gradually build up as your tolerance grows. Remember, keep that water intake up, as your body will need it!
Muscle growth is a big one that you will need to focus on. I'm not talking about bulking up, I am talking about muscle stimulation through a series of weight training methods. This will help you speed up your metabolism, increase your core strength, and put what you eat to better use. There are too many different regimes here to list, and as we are all so different, your best bet will be to speak to a consultant at your local gym to plan this out for you.
It is worth noting that if you are new to this, you are going to end up being quite sore after your workouts. It is in this sense that I recommend good intake of protein rich foods after a workout as to help with muscle repair. This will also reduce the pain after workouts.
There are many ways to get into shape at the Gym, this is the method that I used, and it has worked quite well so far! I actually write more about this over at Ab Rocket Reviews. I do want to stress before I finish that it is always worth while seeing your doctor before committing to a plan. This will help you get the most out of your workout, and know your limits. It is also worth talking to a trainer at the Gym so that you know what kind of plan is best suited to you.
