Aproaching the Fitness Lifestyle For The Novice
When you first start out on the road into the fitness world you might be overwhelmed with an abundance of misleading information. Do not worry you are not alone, most people tend to be confused. You might ask your self where do i start or what do i do. Ask your self the most important questions: WHY? Is it able to get a better body, compete in a sport, gain muscle, impress a girl or for the simple fact of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Most people tend to start their fitness journey to get a healthier lifestyle and feel better. However you are not necessarily getting healthier just by stepping into the gym for and hour or two 3x a week. You must peel back the underlying reasons of why you are the way you are and not where you want to be. Your Body is not made in the gym it is made in the Kitchen, is still the most powerful statement said today. People tend to spend hours creating the most elaborate programs and periodization and get know where because there nutrition is not dialed in. Do not get me wrong there is a time and place for the correct programs. You do not want to put the cart before the horse or lease you will get nowhere.
When you are just starting out you need to figure out what is going to be the most realistic, enjoyable process for your to start. You do not want to overload your self with process to fast or you will burn out and end up at square one. To start you want to eat High Octane Fuel: Whole Foods.
