From a very early age, we are instilled with a love of a healthy lifestyle and physical education, motivating all this with the good old phrase: “A healthy mind is in a healthy body”. It would seem that such a simple truth, but how much effort needs to be made to really be a healthy and happy person. For the most part, our well-being depends on our thoughts and how we relate to ourselves. And given that the information world dictates to us conditions of unreal and artificially created beauty, more and more often people just start to hate themselves and strive to become the same as the characters from the glossy cover. But the sports body was always really beautiful. This is a guarantee not only of good health, but also the secret of longevity.
How to achieve that you had a slender and athletic body?
The answer is simple - to improve. First you need to decide on your goal. It should motivate you and be a kind of slogan when your hands begin to drop. Remember, brain activity requires the highest calorie expenditure, but to emphasize this effect, your body must obey your head. Forget self-pity, look for a way, not an excuse.
In order for your goal to be achieved, you need to set a kind of benchmark on which you can rely. You should decide what kind of result you expect. Here, the principle of visualizing your goal applies.
Diet: for or against?
A definite answer cannot be found. Of course, proper and strict nutrition is one of the main components in the process of creating oneself. But do not rely too much on diets, especially the so-called mono-diets, they do not bring your body absolutely nothing, but only immerse it in even greater stress, and this, as you know, is one of the most difficult obstacles to a beautiful athletic body. Yes, if you want to see the result, you will have to limit yourself to the use of certain products, but you should not bring everything to fanaticism. This has never led to anything good.
If it’s hard for you to mention that you need to limit yourself somehow, you can just try to exclude several products a day, and reduce your usual portion (for example, leave its fourth part uneaten).
What should be a slender athletic body?
You can consider a sports body that has acceptable indicators of the ratio of muscle and fat mass. To find out specifically your result, you should go to specialists who professionally engage in such
things. They will also help you choose the best program of nutrition and exercise, in which you get a decent result, while not harming your body. This question is very acute. Since, if you decide not only to tone the body, but also want to achieve relief, then you can not do without the help of a competent trainer and nutritionist. You need to know very well the characteristics of your body, so as not to get carried away and not get a lot of diseases and side effects instead of a beautiful sports body.
Go to the gym or exercise at home?
Probably everyone asked a similar question. And this is not without meaning, because it all depends on your personal preferences. All gyms are full of screaming headlines: “The girl’s athletic body is an honor, and others have cellulite!” But to go or not to go to the gym is up to you. For some, this type of exercise may not be interesting, because the exercises should not only bear fruit in the form of a beautiful body that will envy passers-by, but also give some kind of emotional relaxation. In addition, classes are quite expensive, and can hit your pocket.
The main stereotype that impedes visiting the hall is the fear of condemnation for a not at all perfect appearance. In addition, beginners, seeing a beautiful athletic body of men and girls around, may think that everyone achieved the result in one day. There are no miracles, each person creates himself, and you have to invest a lot of effort into this. But you should remember that if you still came to the gym and realized that it’s just hard for you to practice, don’t rush to give up, try to study at home - maybe this will be your option.
Remember the main rule: everything should be in moderation. Physical activity should be gradual, do not get carried away too much, because the next day you will feel what is called "krepatura", and simply can not get up. Alternatively, you can start by charging in the morning, and then move on to more significant power loads. The main thing - do not forget about the warm-up, your body needs an initial charge, which will give you strength to work on.
