Consistency is key when it comes down to fitness and bodybuilding. You need to follow a routine depending on your goal and be consistent with it. But in this blog I would like to share some rules of fitness that can be implemented whether you are bulking or cutting. These will help either way.

• 

Eat
Whether you are in a caloric surplus or deficit, you need to eat with purpose. You can prepare meals if that is something you are interested in.

Stop tracking your weight
This is something I have mentioned in my previous blogs as well but there is absolutely no need to weigh yourself everyday. Or even at all! The most important thing is fat loss. You can invest in a tool that calculates a body fat percentage calculator. No real need for it but that is a much better thing to keep track of as opposed to weighing yourself.

Do what you enjoy
I personally love bodybuilding and lifting heavy, but you don’t have to do that if you are not into it. There are other activities like zumba, running, or swimming. The most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing so you can incorporate it into your life long time. Fitness can be something that you look forward to each day after work or school.

Rest day
I was to stress the importance of taking a rest day. You need to give your muscles a chance to rest and recover. When you lift weight, you break your muscles and they require sometime to heal. To clarify a rest day is only for exercising and not from dieting. Diet should remain consistent no matter what.

Follow a plan
Like I mentioned it is important to stay consistent. Following a good diet and workout can make all the difference in the world. If you are like me where you have to balance life with school and work, a plan can be very important to have a plan.

Drink water
Drink as much water as you can. One thing that I have noticed is that you get a really good pump at the gym if you drink more water. It is also a very helpful tool to get rid of fat from your body.

Sleep!
You will need to get enough sleep. I believe that is very important. Your muscles will heal during the time you sleep.

I know it is currently hard to go to the gym during quarantine. But this is the best time to start. You can go for a run and burn some fat. Doing something is better than doing nothing. As always remember the best advice is to start where you are, do what you can, and use what you have.
