How to Train Like the Pros

Not everyone wants to be a body builder or compete on stage but for some reason we all love the look. We drool over it as we flip through fitness magazines or as we watch our favorite shows on television. We put hours and hours of workouts in and spend tons of money on products we probably don't need. So today I am going to give you a few tips to train like a pro without actually stepping foot on stage.

 

Tip 1: Stay consistent
 

Don't start a regiment and then stop. Stay consistent with your routine. If your going to workout daily then do it. Consistent allows your body to prosper. Start a calendar or a take a notebook and keep track of what you do and when you do it.

Tip 2: Eat clean 
 

You just left work and see McDonalds coming up on your right. Don't stop!!! Keep going. Eating out constantly at fast food restaurants sets you back when it comes to your goals. There are tons of clean eating recipes that allow you to have the same satisfaction. Grocery shop and prep your food for a week so you can just grab and go.

Tip 3: Meal Prep 
 

You work five days a week but still have to get to gym, pick kids up, or even attend school. Sundays are the best days to grocery shop and prep food for the week. Prepping allows you to always have the right foods available to you daily. Pack your bag because eating out is not an option. 

Tip 4: Drink up
 

The human body is mostly made up of water. That's how we function. The more water we drink the better our body works and we stay hydrated. Our muscles love it.

Tip 5: Up your weight
 

We spend all our time in the gym being scared to pick up a heavier weight and bust it out. Ladies, heavy weights are okay. The heavier the weight the better the definition and the nicer the muscle. Pick it up!!

Tip 6: Be mindful of what your putting in your body. 
 

I have to admit, I have tried tons of fat burners and to my surprise only found one out of a gazillion that actually work. In the end though I honestly regret putting all those crazy things in my body. Try to find what works for you upfront to avoid dragging your body through harsh times. Also, try natural things first. Don't limit yourself to what's on the shelf in your local GNC.

Tip 8: Stay Humble

This tip is one of the most important tips. No matter how much training you do or how big and beautiful you get lifting those weights, stay humble. Helping others is what counts the most. Sharing ideas between other women not only help you learn new things but helps them as well.
