Here's how to get Lean

By Mario Lawlor


There are two methods that need to be performed together in order for you to get slim, and that is exercise and dieting. Without these two it is pointless to try to slim down unless you starve yourself. Consistency is the most important strategy you should be striving for when trying to lose weight, as without consistency, you are more likely to gain weight instead of losing it!

The Diet Program

Drinking at least one glass of water before every meal is an important strategy. Water in your belly you will feel more full and therefore reduce your appetite, which in turn means you eat less. Therefor you can have smaller portion sizes containing only healthy, low fat ingredients. Feel free to eat fish and turkey because they are healthy, but only eat lean red meats and chicken.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These will supply the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. They are also full of fiber which will fill you up quickly. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Fitness Program to become Lean

Perform plenty of strength building workouts such as weights. You only need to weight train for 15 minutes a day, on most days to get the benefits and help lose fat. Add in toning exercises such as crunches and sit-ups, plus some high intensity dumbbell workouts. This is the best method of really trimming down and getting the figure you want quickly. Another benefit of this type of strength training is that your muscles will grow, and will use extra calories whilst they are growing. It's like exercising when you aren't exercising!

Cardio Exercises

Cardio exercises such as running, jump rope or swimming are also important to add to the plan. They are your guarantee to sweating off all those extra calories. A good routine would be to run for 15 minutes, jump rope for x3 sets of two minute sessions, weight train for 15 minutes and then perform crunches and sit-ups. Do these 4-5 days and you will surely lose weight fast!

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during these sessions to counter the loss through sweat. Drink zero calorie electrolyte drinks if you feel you are deprived of the electrolytes that give your body energy.

Remember that it takes time and patience to start seeing results. Just stick to your diet and exercise plans. Success is not far off!
