It’s time to get started on that beach body, and I mean
RIGHT NOW! Do you promise, every year, that next year, you’ll be ready for the
beach on the first day of summer? How has that worked out for you? For those of
you who said, “AWESOME!”, I say, “AWESOME” right back at-cha! For those who
said, um . . . well . . . I say, “let's change that now.
(For safety, before
you enter into any nutritional or exercise program, talk to your doctor. Also,
make sure that you have a qualified personal trainer teach you the proper form
to do any exercises. Be safe!)
Step 1: Start NOW!
I live in the northeast and every year I am amazed at how
many people pour into the gym on the first warm day of spring. Summer is weeks
away, and the masses return to the gym to work on their “beach body”. Ugh . . .
where have you been??? You are months behind and you want to get in shape now?
If you want to be beach ready by the start of summer, the
best news is, if you read this today, (Jan 11, 2019) that you have plenty of
time to make significant changes before summer. If you are reading this much
later, then start now anyway. You will still make the changes you want. Hey,
the bright side? You get another summer next year! Either way, start NOW!
Step 2: Get your mind
right
If you want to succeed in creating the body you really want,
DO NOT rush! This is the biggest mistake people always make. If you want real
and lasting results, be practical and consistent. Do the right things each day.
This is a lifestyle change, and a great one. This goes for working out, and
eating.
When you rush, problems occur. Think of it like waking up
late for work, then rushing to get there on time. Oh, what could go wrong?
(Insert list of possible problems here.) It will be the same if you rush to get
fit. However, if you start moving forward, in a controlled manner, you will
keep closing in on your goal until you are there. Keep your focus on what you
need to do each day, rather than how far you have to go, and before you know
it, you’re there!
Step 3: Nutrition
NO FAD DIETS!!! (See step #2) Fad diets (really, all diets)
are a bunch of B.S. (Check my other posts for more on this.) Remember, you need
to do this wisely and safely. This is a process, and you cannot rush this if
you want real results. I will show you how to speed this up in Step #5.

Start by adding healthy foods first, then begin removing the
high-calorie foods that are holding you back. Do this a little at a time so you
won’t get discouraged and quit. By the time summer rolls around, you should be
eating a healthy diet all the time. There will be an exception to this diet.
You should have 2 cheats per week. Have a cheat on Wednesday, and one on the
weekend.
This system is amazingly effective and easy to maintain.
First, a “cheat” is an entree or a snack, that you otherwise would not have. It
is not an all-day binge. Second, you can start by having 4 cheats a week and
work your way down to 2. I found that having a treat to look forward to made
eating healthy easier.
Step 4: Work out!
Make a daily habit out of going to the gym. Go every
weekday, at the same time each day, if possible. Work out for 1 hour each day.
I mean work out! Don’t go to the gym
to text, play with your music or socialize. You can socialize at the beach
while everyone asks you where you work out, and what is your secret?
Quick gym-tip: The best way to use your smartphone at the
gym? Put it in the locker!
When you begin, stick to the basics. Too many people come
into the gym with a magazine article and they do all sorts of exotic (ridiculous)
“exercises”. Learn the basics and get good at them. You are trying to get fit,
not win a Mr. Olympia title.
Step 5: The BIG
Secret! The FASTEST way EVER to burn calories is . . .
Here we go. I am giving you the greatest fitness secret
ever. I just wish for you to use this. I can’t believe how many people don’t. They
just won’t try. It makes me sad. I can tell you this, everyone I know who has
used this secret, has had spectacular results. Ready?
The fastest way to burn calories is to train your legs with
heavy weights! YES. YES. YES. This works and it works like nothing I have ever
seen. You have to do this properly, to be safe and effective. You have to do
this consistently (For 2 months max) to get the best results. And, you have to
do this with intensity!
Here’s why this works. Your legs are your biggest muscles.
They demand the most calories when worked. The more weight you move, the more
calories you burn.
Just think about the muscles at work when you do cardio
exercises, running, biking, stair climbing. You are using your leg muscles.
However, you are using them in a superficial way. Training with heavy weight,
helps you to hit those same muscle fibers all the way to the core. This will
burn far more calories.
NO ladies, your legs
will not get bulky!!!
Women always ask about this, that’s why I directed this one
to the ladies. (I hope I don’t offend anyone. I want everyone to succeed.) To
build up muscle you need more calories. Since you will be eating healthier, these
workouts will burn off all of the food you take in, any fat you may have stored
and I found that if I keep training like this, I burn off muscle next. MY legs
got smaller doing this!
