Fitness Tips for Beginners

Plan meals, resistance training and cardio at least a day in advance:  I plan mine a week in advance and prepare all my meals for the coming week on Sunday mornings. This way I don't have to think about anything, I just wake up and I know what exercises I have to complete that day and what meals I'll be eating.

 

Treat your weight loss like a marathon, not a sprint: Lose 1-2 pounds a week. If you lose more than that, you're probably losing hard earned muscle instead of fat.  If you lose more than 2 pounds per week, you’re likely losing more muscle than fat.

 

You must find a way to track your food, weight, body fat, cardio and strength training.

 

You must have a plan and a goal that is time sensitive and specific.  If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll never get there!

 

One cheat meal per week:  One cheat MEAL, not a CHEAT DAY!    It’s not that hard to eat clean for 6 days in a row when I know on the 7th day, I can have some pizza and brownies.  I definitely enjoy my cheat meal, though I find that the morning after my cheat I don't feel quite as good, which makes it easy to get back to eating clean for another 6 days!Cheat Meal 5/30/20Cheat Meal 5/30/20Meals - 5/28/20Meals - 5/28/20Workout - 5/28/20Workout - 5/28/20Cheat Meal 5/30/20Cheat Meal 5/30/20
