Fitness has the ability to change your life. That is precisely what fitness did for me. Fitness is accomplished by attaining short term and long term goals. Accomplisheshing goals and objectives will lead to happiness. While going through a transformation you will learn life principles that can help you in your every day life.

Fitness teaches you two very important principles:

• Discipline: Fitness and bodybuilding teaches discipline. Discipline can make you stand out in your daily life.
• Consistency: This one is extremely important. Consistency is key in getting the desired results you want. Over time you learn to be consistent with your diet and with your training routine and when you start experiencing results, it becomes an addiction.

You show up every day!
It’s easy to show up when you’re feeling good and it’s easy to work out when you are full of energy. What matters is you showing up when you feel like crap. You make a difference when you workout on the days you feel like quitting. You power through that workout and that’s what gets you one step closer to your goal.

Where to get started?

Define your goal! What is it that you are trying to accomplish here? To get started you need to bulk or cut.

• Bulk: A bulk is where you build muscle. This is a good place to start if you are trying to add mass and size.
• Cut: A cut is where you shred fat, so you can reveal the muscle that you already have.

Step By Step

• Google “maintenance calories calculator”
• Add your information such as weight, height, age, and activity level. This will give you the number of calories you need to eat daily to maintain your current goal.
• Add 500 calories if you intend to bulk and add muscle.
• Subtract 500 calories if you intend to lose fat and shred.
• Eating your goal calories every day will be the most important factor that gets you close to your ideal body.
• Ensure that you eat 0.7g – 1g of protein per body weight. For example, if you weigh 180lbs, you need to eat 130-180 grams of protein every day.
• Next is the fun part! Lift weights 3-5 times a week. It doesn’t matter what you do in the gym. Do something!
• You need to lift heavy! Doing compound lifts will be great! I will be going more into detail in my future blog posts.
• Start where you are! Do what you can! Use what you have!
• Rest is extremely important! Ensure you are taking at least 1-2 days off the gym and getting a good amount of sleep.

Start with this! These are the basics of getting your dream body. In my next blog posts I will go more into detail about each of these points.
