Excess fat in our bodies can do permanent harm. Health conditions
like high blood cholesterol, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases
are consequences of un-managed fat intake.
The body is a very efficient
system that it takes years of abuse before it gives in to health issues.
Often when you change your lifestyle in ways more than one, the body
quickly recuperates and restore the damage done over time. It is never
too late to take care of our bodies.
Today as diseases plague
mankind, physical fitness and over all wellness is an emerging priority.
One face of this health "revolution" is body building. Previously just a
competitive sport, recent trend gave body building a new popular appeal
among people of all ages.
To build muscles and at the same time
reduce fat is to make permanent lifestyle changes. It is never easy but
it is always worth it.
To start off, consider doing the following things:
Set a Goal
Plan
your route in your muscle building journey. Identify your first step,
for example decide for yourself if you want to get bulky and train from
the get go. Or if you want to trim down and build muscles in a specific
weight range. This will now rally your every step and guide you on the
program you choose to follow over a course in time.
Be mindful of what you eat
The
body was designed to be sustained by food that matters. Over time, this
has been substituted by food that tastes best. Unfortunately the best
tasting food is not the healthiest. Most of them are junk or contain
compounds that can cause harm later on as the body ages. Count your
calories, stay away from saturated fat and get into fruits and
vegetables for a start.
Exercise
There are
thousands of types of exercises out there. The best ones are those that
can target multiple muscle groups all at the same time. Economy of force
is applied and exercise is maximized. Make sure to exercise with
intensity. Train your muscles by progressively overloading them day
after day.
Some examples of compound exercises are bench press, variations in using dead weights and squats.
