Staying
fit and being in shape is something that has eloped many people for various
reasons. Chief among them is the lack of consistency when it comes to body
building. In this article, I reveal some secrets to achieving bodybuilding and
a healthy lifestyle which if taken into account and followed precisely would go
a long way in ensuring you become a fit individual.
Attitude
Unknown
to many people is that a positive mental attitude is inherent for keeping fit.
To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you must focus you mind into achieving a
muscle building process.
Reduce
and manage stress
Stress
is the killer to attaining the perfect body and muscle growth. Positive stress
is encouraged and includes the unavoidable activities such as eating, training
and talking. However, you should reduce negative stress such as drinking
excessively, smoking and arguing.
Start
small and progress
Attaining
the perfect body shape is a constant process that requires consistency. To
achieve this, it is recommended to start by lifting small weights daily and
gradually progressing to heavier weights
Eat
proteins
It is
essential to eat at least a gram of protein for every pound of bodyweight.
Proteins are an essential nutritional component and are required in large
amounts contrary to majority beliefs. Recommended foods to take in the morning
are eggs, milk or oatmeal.
Sleep
The
proteins that you intake need to be synthesized. Therefore, it is inherent to
have an adequate sleep as it helps in synthesis. Besides, sleep will also
recharge your mental capacity and enable you to lift more weights and develop
muscles
Resist
sleep medications
Contrary
to many beliefs, sleep medications do more harm than good. You should not force
yourself to sleep through the influence of pills as they will inhibit your
muscle growth process. Trying to maintain the same sleeping time.
Relaxing
music
One
hidden fact that many people do not know is that music is soothing both the
soul and body. It is recommended to listen to soothing music before going to
bed as it will minimize stress. Also, avoid any chances of watching television
in bed.
Aerobics
Aerobics
are critical to the growth of muscles. They enhance metabolism which burns fat
and encourage the removal of waste products in the body making oxygen
transportation easier increasing muscle growth.
Avoiding
fats
There is
a misconception that when one is bodybuilding, they should cut fats from their
diet. This is not true. Fats play different roles in the body, and they should
not be overlooked just because one is training. However, they should be taken
in the required amounts.
Avoid
overtraining
Too much
of something is poisonous. You should train in given session and avoid
overdoing the training through relaxing to avoid an over trained state that
will put a strain on your muscles.
