Fitness Program Tips, Tricks & Techniques

1. Successful people never “wing it,” they always have a plan.
2. Muscle growth and strength increases occur when you place demands on your body above and beyond what it has experienced in the past.
3. Your objective at almost every workout is to set goals to beat what you did during the previous one.
4. Continuous and never-ending improvement is the name of the game.
5. A calorie deficit is the only way to lose body fat. However, the caloric deficit must be kept small.
6. Not eating enough is one of the biggest mistakes of all.
7. If you exercise more you can eat more which is a more effective fat loss strategy than eating less and exercising less.
8. The best combination of all to lose body fat, is a small decrease in calories accompanied by a large increase in activity.
9. Decreasing calories slows your metabolism. Increasing calories increases your metabolism. Exercise increases your metabolism.
10. Eat more, exercise more = double increase in metabolism. Eat less, don’t exercise = double decrease in metabolism.
11. Every time you successfully complete a scheduled workout, you build your discipline and self esteem. When your self esteem increases, it makes you feel good and that stimulates a positive self-reinforcing cycle of even more discipline, confidence and action. Everything you do helps or hurts. Every workout counts.
12. Strengthening and stretching some muscle groups but not others is a great way to cause poor posture, muscular imbalance, dysfunction, strains, pulls, tears or ruptures.
13. Stretch, strengthen and build to the point of total body balance.
14. The machines may be easy, but most machines aren’t as safe or effective as they’re made out to be.
15. “BIG” exercises stimulate more muscle fiber, stir up more fat burning and muscle building hormones, and have more carry-over to real world and sporting activities than machines.
16. Focusing on compound and free weight exercises gives you far more bang for your buck than any machine ever created.
17. Preparation is also mental, yet most people haven’t the slightest idea just how powerful the mind is or how to harness its power.
18. Optimal post workout meal includes quickly digesting protein and carbohydrates and is consumed immediately after training during the period known as the “post-workout window of opportunity”.
19. Proper post workout nutrition increases protein synthesis, suppresses cortisol, replenishes glycogen, and enhances recovery.
20. Comparing yourself to others is a great way to lower your self esteem and stay perpetually frustrated, unhappy and dissatisfied!
21. Compare yourself to yourself. Improve yourself. Work on progress and forward movement. Become better than you used to be.
22. Winners and successful people became successful because they learned three magic words: I AM RESPONSIBLE. Once you claim responsibility for every result in your life – the good and the bad – the feeling of empowerment and liberation that comes over you is beyond description.
23. The only people who don’t make any mistakes are the timid, wimpy people who don’t even attempt anything. If you realize you’ve been making a lot of these mistakes, don’t beat yourself up. As long as you learn from them and then stop making them, you’re off the hook! But if you keep repeating these mistakes over and over again, then it’s official: You’re a bonehead!
