10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE... ⁣ I started my fitness journey ✅ ⁣

-

⁣1. Everyone around you will always have an opinion about what and how you do things. Only give an ear to those who have done it themselves. ⁣🗣
⁣
2. Food is not the enemy. Do NOT CUT OUT  FOOD GROUPS. ⁣😑
⁣
3. It won’t take just 12 weeks or even a whole year for you to reach all of your goals. It will take MANY YEARS. Be Patient. ⁣
⁣
4. Document your progress in pictures. Not the number on the scale. The scale is 💩.⁣
⁣
5. Mindset will be what makes or breaks a sustainable journey. Work on it ALWAYS. ⁣
⁣
6. Diets that promise FAST results, create short term/cookie cutter progress. Be in it for the LONG RUN. ⁣🌻
⁣
7. Everything you do to fuel, care, and recover outside of the gym MATTERS. Don’t neglect all the other things overworking your body in the gym. ⁣👍
⁣
8. What you fill your calories with is far for important than just hitting them. ⁣🙌
⁣
9. Sustainability is what you TRULY SEEK, stop hoping on and off things that clearly are depriving you.⁣ 💀
⁣
10. It’s okay to not always be motivated. But you will have to be disciplined. 👊 ⁣

Resistance training, along with the right amount, type, and timing of protein intake, can help muscles grow bigger and stronger. Resistance training includes weightlifting, band exercises and some forms of yoga and Pilates. The most time efficient form of exercise is what is known as high intensity interval exercise that combines resistance and aerobic exercise over a 30 to 45 minute time period. The proper form of exercise and proper nutrition are both important in feeding the muscle. Any exercise that stretches a muscle will help to build that muscle. The basic process of growing muscle requires muscle fibers to stretch until they induce a signal to recruit satellite muscle cells to merge with the fiber to make it larger. This occurs best during what is known as the eccentric movement of muscle. Think of a simple biceps curl exercise. You contract the muscle to lift the weight. The eccentric movement occurs as you slowly lower the weight, stretching the muscle fibers. The muscle fibe...

How can I make exercise a part of my regular routine?

-
Make everyday activities more active. Even small changes can help. You can take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk down the hall to a coworker's office instead of sending an email. Wash the car yourself. Park further away from your destination. Be active with friends and family. Having a workout partner may make you more likely to enjoy exercise. You can also plan social activities that involve exercise. You might also consider joining an exercise group or class, such as a dance class, hiking club, or volleyball team. Keep track of your progress. Keeping a log of your activity or using a fitness tracker may help you set goals and stay motivated. Make exercise more fun. Try listening to music or watching TV while you exercise. Also, mix things up a little bit - if you stick with just one type of exercise, you might get bored. Try doing a combination of activities. Find activities that you can do even when the weather is bad.You can walk in a mall, climb ...
