TODAY HEALTH AND FITNESS

We'd all like a perfect body and getting that body can be near impossible without the right advice. A perfect body not only improves self confidence but can really change your life. Many of my personal training clients come to me with an idea of how they would like their body to look-and I've never failed to help anybody who really wants to change. If you are prepared to make lifestyle and dietary changes- you can get a perfect body too.

How to get a good body with lifestyle, mind and dietary changes-

First of all you have to have a clear image in your mind of what you'd like your body to look like. Whether this is super skinny, lean and muscular, muscular or even just a smaller belly. A clear picture in your mind enables you to set some goals to strive towards and keep you focused when times get hard- and they will don't think it will be an easy ride!

I often have my personal training clients visualise their perfect body each day and imagine stepping into that body and in their mind visualising how it would feel, be and how people would react to them. Unless it is real in your mind- your body will not follow. I am a strong believer in visualisation and know from experience it works. You have to practise every day though- just set aside five minutes and experience what it will be like when you achieve that perfect body.

Then you have to set about making some lifestyle changes. How to get a perfect body with exercise depends entirely on your goals. If you are after a more muscular look then you'll have to be in the gym (or at home if you have decent enough facilities) lifting 3-4 times per week. If you're after a leaner fitter look then I'd advise cardio style circuits, incorporating kettlebells, bodyweight drills, plyometrics (if you're up to a decent level) and light jogging. Good instruction is essential and well worth the money. Don't just start with the first trainer you find- make sure the personal trainer has at least 5 years experience and ask to see some of their previous client history or they really won't know how to get you a perfect body and may hinder your progress and waste time and money.

Lastly how to get a perfect body is with nutrition. Good nutrition is key with achieving a good body. Even if you're training everyday you won't notice good results unless your nutrition is in top condition. Of course depending on your goals your nutrition will vary drastically. If you're looking to lean up the primal way of dieting is very successful- this follows the way our ancestors dating back to pre farming used to eat. It is low in carbohydrates such as pasta, bread, grains and high in fibrous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and meat. If you're looking to gain size then a high carbohydrate diet is recommended with high protein consumption. The body will now grow if carbohydrates are too low- period!
