“K-I-S-S” your Workout
This acronym has been a recurring theme in my life lately.
Why do we tend to do things the hard way anyways? By the way for those of you that haven’t heard of this, it stands for
Keep – It – Simple – Stupid; Sweety; Sugar; etc.
When pertaining to health and fitness, I find that many of us over complicate the matter.
Today I’ll talk about your workout, and sometime next week, we’ll get to nutrition.
If I could simplify the matter of working out for fat loss, it’d look something like this…
- You need to do resistance training 2-3 days a week to build lean muscle mass (this boosts your metabolism 24 hours a day, burning more calories 24 hours a day)
- Ditch the long, monotinous aerobic workouts and start doing anaerobic conditiong, also known as intervals 2-4 days a week.
- Get outside of your comfort zone on a regular basis. Going through the motions with your workout is a great way to ensure you see minimal results.
- You’re either in or you’re out! If you go into anything in life with the notion in your head that it isn’t going to work, guess what, you’re darn lucky if it does!
In Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, he mentions that when you say you can’t, your brain stops trying to find a way to make it happen. Sort of depressing, isn’t it? Know that you CAN, and you’ll find a way to make anything happen!
There you have it. Everything else is just details that can be sorted out once you’ve got your basics covered.
