Article Fall of last year you figured a donut once in an awhileor some other fat and sugar laden nasty food wouldn’t hurt. Yourexcuse it is the” muscle-bulking season” or you will ”work itoff”. The next thing you know your waist measurement is almostthe same size of your chest. You look in the mirror and you seeyour v-taper look like a square block. You say to your self“what the heck happen to all my hard work in the gym?” Well allof your hard work is still there if you have been training hard,but it is covered in fat. My better half, my wife once asked mewhen I was expecting? At that moment, I knew it was time to shedthe fat.

Well the first thing to do is to make a final personal goal. Forexample, the abdominal muscles showing by May. But to start youneed to start with other goals to build to the main final goal.These could include;

Physical Well Goals. This could be working up to 30 minutes ofphysical activity daily to start. Light stretching to make themuscles feel good. Maybe adding some sit ups to strengthen thecore.

Physique goals. After achieving your physical well goals you canstart adding more demanding goals such as reducing your fatpercentage. Add aerobic fitness of 30 minutes to your workoutschedule. Or maybe start a weight resistance program.

Performance accomplishment goals. This could include small goalsin your weight resistance program such as benching a certainamount. Or running the mile in a certain time. This is where youplace the goal of seeing your abdominal muscles by May.

Each goal that you set and reach is a stepping stone to yourfinal targeted goal. You could keep a personal diary of yourfitness progress and see how far you have come in your healthand strength pursuit. I used to put pictures of ab shots on myrefrigerator to help keep me focused. Now I also keep a watchfuleye in the mirror.

When I drop an inch or two off my waist I reward myself. And notwith eating a whole pie or chocolate cake. Usually I buy somekind of hiking gear, camera equipment or clothing.

Make sure you keep a supply of healthy foods around you to helpprevent eating some junk food when you do get hungry. Freshfruit, nuts, non-fat cottage cheese, you get the idea. When youstart your diet don’t go crazy eating little to nothing. If youfollow this practice you will lose all the muscle you worked sohard to build. I cycle my carbohydrates and protein around myworkout days. I eat the carbs during my workoutdays and carb deplete on non-bodybuilding workout days. I willincrease the protein on the nonworkout days. Here is a summaryof the topics above:

Establish small goals to achieve your main personal fitnessgoal. Use pictures to keep focused on your main goal. Rewardyourself when you meet your in-between goals. Drink plenty ofwater. Always keep plenty of healthy foods around to snack on.Don’t go crazy dieting.

Make sure that you keep on the right path and you will see yourgoal of abdominal muscles showing when the warm weather returns.Otherwise your spouse may do like mine and start takingmeasurements for maternity clothes. Perseverance and focus willhelp keep you on track of your personal fitness goal.
