5 things you need to know

Here are 5 things you need to know about exercising!

ONE - there is no one correct way to perform and exercise
There are many WRONG ways ie, ways that offer no benefit, or that will
lead to injury. There are different variations of exercises, and execution and form.Despite being
different from one another, they are all beneficial...some more than others, but nonetheless, not harmful
or dangerous.

TWO - you don't need a huge variety of exercises to maintain a fat-free, well toned, Abs.
Exercise the entire body at least once a week...this doesn't need to be done all at once. It is not just the
ab exercises that will give you the great mid-section, but the regular training of the whole body,
(which includes the abdominals,) that will trim that waistline.

THREE - Workouts do not cancel out a binge at your fav fast food place...fries and a greasy burger!
What you eat is responsible for your results. 75% of your results for that matter!
YOU ARE ~most definately~WHAT YOU EAT!
AND!
You EXTERNALLY REFLECT EXACTLY WHAT YOU EAT!
....ie...check the bodies in the line at Krispy Kreme's next time you go.....
When you change your eating and habits to eating clean, you will shed superfluous fat in no time.
Proper nutrition will give you lean muscle and those abs will pop out just the way you want them to!
FOUR - Cardio will help you lose more fat, if you are carrying more than you want. However, do
not replace the resistance training with just cardio. 3-4 sessions a week for 30-40 min is great!
Treadmill, or Elliptical, jogging, or spin classes...it's all good!
FIVE - Perserverance! If you are consistent with your workouts and your clean eating
you will succeed!
When you don't want to go to the gym, go anyways!
When you don't want to eat clean, eat clean anyways!
Best Health to you!
