Instructions
& Tips 
Train the way you want your body
to change
For example, if your main interest is general fitness, choose a program
which involves all the major muscle groups, endurance and flexibility
exercises. If you want to be a marathoner, you would concentrate solely
on endurance. Lean Bodies can create a specific program to achieve
a particular fitness goal by clicking the customized programs button

Eat a well-balanced diet
Training is half the battle. Proper nutrition along with training
iscrucial in achieving a specific fitness goal. Training and nutrition
complement each other. It’s like flying a plane with one or
two engines. You can get to a specific destination with one engine
( just training alone), but two engines (training and proper nutrition)
will get you there faster.
Train all year round
Taking too much time off gain lead to losing the gains you’ve
made and can create more susceptibility to injury if you try to
get back in shape rapidly.
Get in shape gradually
Your body must adapt to stress gradually and training is considered
a stress. Overzealous training can lead to burnout and possible
injury. Rome wasn’t built in a day and you can’t expect
your physique change rapidly. Be patient and give time for your
body to adapt.
Don’t train when you’re
ill or seriously injured
Your body has problems fighting multiple stresses simultaneously.Training
(a stress) along with fighting an illness or recuperating from a
injury can be very counter-productive and possibly dangerous.
Listen to your body
If the workout doesn’t feel right, change it! Chances are if
the workout is not chieving the specific effect and it doesn’t
feel like its doing anything, it probably isn’t.
Don’t overtrain
Your body needs time to adapt to the stress (workout), and the way
it does this is with proper rest. If you are always training, you’re
not giving your body a chance to recuperate itself, thus leading
to possible injury and burnout.
Vary your workouts
After a while, your body adapts to the workout and the training
effect you originally had begins to slow down and plateau. You must
constantly change your workouts to minimize this adaptation which
can eventually lead to staleness. Vary the volume and intensity
of your workouts to minimize this type of plateau effect.
Train your mind
Your mind is a very powerful tool. If you are going to succeed in
achieving a goal, belief in yourself and your potential, is very
crucial. Set short-term goals which will lead to long-term goals
and truly believe in them in order for them to be effective.
Learn all you can about exercise
Learning how to exercise properly can speed up the path to your
fitness goal, minimize staleness, and prevent possible injury. If
you are not sure of how to exercise properly, read up on it or seek
a qualified fitness professional. Misinformation can destroy the
path to a fitness goal. Lean Bodies can provide you
with the necessary quality fitness information by clicking the customized

Don’t believe every thing
you hear and see
Often, people in their quest to achieving their fitness goals may
be lured into believing a lot of advertising which preys on on one’s
emotions. For example, Joe Body, on an infomerical, most likely
didn’t get his physique from the piece of equipment he is trying
to sell to you. Dedication and hard work is the
only and surefire road to success.
Keep exercise and the fitness
goal in its proper perspective
Exercise is important but not everything. Seek out to also improve
other aspects of your life and try to make it more well- rounded.
A well-rounded life can further improve your chances of achieving
your fitness goal and make the road to achieving it more enjoyable.
