The return to a healthy lifestyle: the 3 main steps

After a long break to get back in the slender ranks of fans of a healthy lifestyle rather hard - always something to prevent, and, most importantly, do not have the patience to again bring this difficult matter to end. Usually statements "All Monday I sit on a diet and is recorded in the sports club" and remain just rhetoric. Perhaps someone still manages to get involved, and that once the fifth at best.

Peter Carvel coach sixpackfactory.com believes that to return to the club to go through three main stages.

The main mistake of all beginners and those who have already forgotten how it is - to keep in the hands of the bar - just throw in the pool with his head. If the diet, then immediately cancel all of your favorite treats and sit on cereals or salads. If the return to training, it means immediately and powerfully! And as a consequence - a wild pain in the muscles. Even scary to think about what will need something else to raise, do bench press from the chest or squat with weight.

If you want to happen to fulfill his plan, you need to be consistent. And just in case of a return to a healthy lifestyle will help three main stages. It's pretty simple and banal. The main thing - the right approach and the system.

Diet

As I said, the main mistake beginners - to do everything at once. If you have years of eating delicious, but not very healthy food, to give up this right will be very difficult. Because of this, and there are breakdowns. But do not get better from the main meal, and four cups of coffee with sugar, cookies, donuts for the same coffee or a snack at the office at midnight. If you start to gradually cut their daily allowance of eating all these vkusnyashek and go to a coffee without sugar or green tea, and then go on a diet this will be much easier. Because you will not be breaking out of your favorite foods and you with peace of mind will enjoy healthy and dietary meals.

Another mistake beginners or those who have decided to return to the fit and slender ranks of athletes - spitting at the first training session for the full program. Man does not want to appear weak or be worse than the others in the group, and tries to do everything on a par with others. But if your comrade in arms has been doing for several years, and performing exercises with heavy weight, then you are unlikely to be able to do the same thing beautifully, elegantly and without harm to himself. Usually it all ends with a wild pain in the muscles and a great reluctance to go back to the gym.

I personally know a couple of ladies who for three days went to the toilet in a small exclusive standing in the shower, as it was even afraid to think about what will need to sit down. Another friend of mine avoided steps during the week, as even the thought of what will happen to go down, already causes pain in the muscles.

Therefore reasonable to start with the simplest - with daily walks in the park or replacement of the elevator stairs. Better yet, if it's a class with an instructor who developed a special program for you.

Motivation

Motivation in this case, plays the most important role. Because that's what it makes it so that we do not abandon exercise and diet. It reminds us about the main thing - that for what we got involved in all this. Everyone is different. Who is doing it in order to live a healthy long life and see his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Who is doing it because he is banal ashamed to undress on the beach. And who is doing it to get rid of complexes and find a mate. Everyone has different goals (from small to large), but they all eventually lead to one - to a long, healthy and full of life. It seems to me that this is the most important goal;)
