6 training tips

1.Use a Line of Questioning
For you, think about your physique goal. Then break it down into smaller goals, like getting to the gym 3 days a week for a certain number of weeks. When you can't find the drive on a particular day, ask yourself questions like, "will skipping this workout help me or hurt me?" You know the answer already, but having to admit it will help you refocus on the smaller goal you need to achieve on your way to the larger goal.

2.Be Positive
In your  training, reframe the way you think about success and failure. Instead of beating yourself up about missing a lift, think about the things you've done well ­ like, at least, getting into the gym that night ­ and build on those things. Simply thinking in a different way will help you realize how effective positive reinforcement can be.

3.Hold Yourself Accountable
When you fall a little short, think about how you could have done something different. If you don't know your own potential, you'll never reach it. You won't even come close. But pushing yourself each and every day will help you figure out how good you can be.

4.Work on Your Work Ethic
You might have good genetics, and maybe you can still see your abs despite a few weekends of drive-thru and too many beers. But it won't stay like that forever, and the way you can make sure you succeed at staying fit is continuing to work hard in the gym, and in the kitchen.

5.Know Your Goals
Plenty of people love training, but we know some of you like to go through the motions and call it a day. And that's fine, if you don't really want to get results. If you want to lose weight, focus on that. If you want to gain muscle, focus on that. You can do both, but it's harder to make progress when you divide your attention that way.

Getting Fit Made Simple

1. Use Heavy Weight- Heavier weights will shock your body into building muscle thus preparing them for a heavier load next time. Make sure you fit a set in there of 4 – 6 reps for each muscle group until you can’t hold the weight anymore.
2. Compound Exercises- These are exercises which work more than one muscle group at a time. I.e. Pull-ups, Squats, Tri-Dips, etc.
3. TRX is better- By using the TRX (not too many machines) you will work your stabilizer muscles (the ones around the main muscle group) maximizing the workout on the muscle group which develops a fuller more defined look.
4. Focus on the Negative Movement- Most of your muscle gain will come from the negative rep. i.e. if you are doing bench press the negative movement is the one bringing the bar down to your chest.
5. Failure- Training to failure is success in the gym. This allows your muscles to grow to their full potential.
6. Short Sweet Workouts (kettle bell concepts) - It is a myth that the longer you spend in the gym the better. Your body wears out after about an hour to an hour and a half after you start. Do a KETTLE BELL 30 to 75 minute intense session.
7. Track Your Progress- This will accelerate your progress greatly as you see your results. It is amazing to see the body adapt and get stronger!
8. Minimize Cardio( 5 Rounds Of Fitness UFC)- Keep it to 3 times a week or less for no more than a half hour each time. Keep your heart in the fat loss zone as well so you don’t start converting muscle into a smaller fiber as your heart rate increases.
9. Rest…A lot- This is when your body does the growing when it’s asleep. Get 8-10 hours every night. And your muscles will grow faster.
10. Consistency- You have to make up in your mind that you are going to do this for longer than a week. Incorporate it into your daily routine. Make it part of your identity of who you are. You are a muscular beast inside and no ones going to tell you otherwise!
11. BONUS: Diet is Key- Make sure you are getting at least a gram to a gram and a half of protein per pound of your body weight a day. Divided into six meals. Whey Protein is good fast absorbing protein after workouts.

These are all really good tips that will get you success but what you really need is a program designed for your specific goals and body type that you can follow on a daily basis. Contact 5 Round Fitness for a free consultation  www.5RoundFitness.com
