Losing weight and Weight lifting

Losing weight is not easy and is frustrating for most because the lack of results and feeling tired after a workout session. There is no perfect way in losing weight and gaining tone muscle, but few guidelines and a personal-trainer (if possible) will help you lose weight and gain muscle tone.

First, there has to be motivation and strong reasons on why you want to lose weight. You need to be prepared to change your diet and be ready to sweat.

  Tips to get you started:

    -Stay positive

    -Create a mental picture of how you are going to look (cut out a picture out of a magazine).

    -Drink plenty of water 30 minutes prior to the weight lifting and do not eat 45 minutes prior to working out.

   - Always start a day with a healthy breakfast

    -Cook without adding butter, margarine or oils to reduce cholesterol and fat intake

   - Always start lightly and don’t hurt yourselves during lifts

   - Eat lots of fruits and vegetables

   - Get rid of “white poison” (white sugar, white flower, white salt)

   - Do not eat anything after 7 am (assuming you go to sleep at 10, which you should)
