Everywhere you go these days, there is someone attempting to peddle another product, pill, program or potion promising that you'll be able to finally trim your waistline, feel younger and/or get in the shape you've always dreamed about but couldn't find the time or means to do so. As dull as it may sound, there is simply no magic solution. Having said that, the answer to getting the body you've always wanted is not a complex one at all. The biggest "secret" is that there is no secret! By following a simple plan, you can gradually get the results you desire. Anyone who would like to to shed a few pounds, build some muscle and feel younger can do so if they are in generally good health and are willing to put forth the necessary effort.

If the desire is there, the only other thing needed is a detailed set of instructions on how to go about it. Any workable program must contain all elements necessary for success. These include specific instructions in the areas of exercise routines, nutritional needs as well as rest and recovery. If any of these areas are neglected, less than optimal results can be expected. As for nutrition, in my experience, frequent small meals about three to four hours apart throughout the day are best. This equals out to about five meals a day.

I try to get plenty of relatively lean protein along with plenty of vegetables as well as a moderate amount of complex carbohydrates (whole grains, sweet potatoes, etc.) while avoiding processed white flour and sugar pretty much altogether. I also take a good multivitamin, some EFA's (fish oil capsules) and a few protein shakes throughout the day. The rest and recovery part of the equation usually averages out to about seven and a half hours of sleep every night. Additionally, I try to get at least three days rest between workouts aimed at a particular group of muscles.

With a routine such as this, I'm usually doing some sort of physical activity four to five days out of every week. I vary routines, activity type and intensity levels to keep from getting bored and to insure continued progress. Don't start out doing too much at first. Your body will let you know when it's time to take it "to the next level". Always consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program. In closing, I'd like to say that any beneficial program that is undertaken will, if you give it your full effort over time, greatly improve your enjoyment of life. It is not easy, but it really is pretty simple.
