How You Can Reshape Your Body in Six Weeks

Although exercise is a vital part of losing weight and reshaping your body in six weeks, if you decide that you can eat whatever you want since you are exercising you are not going to see the pounds go down. You need to implement a healthy diet along with the exercise for the maximum weight loss. If you can find a workout program like Slim in 6 that provides you with a nutritional plan to go with your workouts then you are all set. Simply follow the nutritional plan for six weeks and you will see your body change drastically. No more love handles. Your waist will be smaller. Your clothes will be big on you. Best of all you will lose weight. Exercise with a healthy diet is the only way.

Another little added bonus tip for staying motivated during these six weeks it be sure that you take before picture of yourself. Take a picture on day number one and then follow up with one at three weeks and then a final one at six weeks. Having a comparison of these pictures can help you stay motivated to reshape your body and lose the weight. When you look at the before picture, vow to never look like that again.

If you can reshape your body in as little as six weeks, imagine what you can do if you decided to do another six weeks? Losing weight and getting the body of your dreams is possible!

THE BEST AT HOME WORKOUTS FOR MEN

Working out a home is both a convenient and economical way to get into shape. Gone are the days of couch potatoes dancing to the oldies: high intensity workouts are available for men using the science of the body as the only equipment needed.

The Power 90 workout is hosted by Tony Horton and this program is recommended for those men who are just starting out on the fitness journey. This program comes with a sculpting band and a series of six workouts that are geared toward targeting specific body areas for maximum toning and fat burning results in 30 minute workouts. The workouts include: cardio, abs and sculpting workouts. Following the program results in weight loss and overall fitness, and can easily be done in a living room.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN P90X AND POWER 90 WORKOUTS?

There may be some confusion on if there is a difference in two of Tony Horton’s workout programs. Although P90X and Power 90 sound a lot alike and do have some of the same basic principles, the two workouts are quite different.
The P90X workout program was developed after Power 90 and is based off the core of the program. But what Tony Horton did with P90X was he further developed the program for people who are looking for more of a challenge after completing Power 90. P90X has more intensity and can actually be used for the rest of your life due to the muscle confusion technique that Tony Horton employs in the program.
One of the significant differences in these workouts is that P90X can be used over and over again as it uses muscle confusion to help you constantly evolve and reshape you body. With the exercises you can take it slower at first and as you gain more strength and power you can then add the more advanced techniques that Tony teaches in the DVDs. This makes it possible for you to continue on with the workouts well past 90 days, as you are always keeping your body confused, which means that you can avoid plateaus and constantly engage your body. www.eqlifestyles.com

Do it yourself at the gym vs Do it with guidance at home

Are you a gym buff, spending tons of time and money out there pumping iron? Do you read those health and fitness magazines, research the internet to find better and efficient ways to get that body you want? We all want to have that fabulous body, slim, cut and toned. A lot of people have recently turned to various at home workouts, because they are able to do them on their own time and cut the cost of gym fees. Some of these at home programs have really taken off.

While the conventional idea of being fit and active means having a gym membership and pounding a treadmill for a couple of hours, there are other, and often extremely successful options. Some of us have the will and ability to go to the gym and workout, but so many have no idea if what they are doing is going to get them the results desired. So often I see these guys at the gym, squatting, pressing, etc, with terrible form. Using bad form has a number of effects. The first one is the risk of injury they face. Hurting the back, knees, shoulders, etc, is very common and much more likely when you have not been trained to use good form. Secondly, bad form means that you are not working to your potential. With better form, you could be getting results far better than you would otherwise.

So it seems here that what is really lacking for most is the technical expertise that you would have from a personal trainer. But realistically, many cannot afford a personal trainer. For these people, a really tough, advanced home workout with the guidance of professionals is a great tool for your body. Behind the DVDs are a group of experts, not only personal trainers, who develop these programs. As I mentioned before, the P90X workout program is an advanced, twelve step program to physical success. One of the main tell-tale signs of a really good program is the longevity of it. Programs that claim success in less than a few weeks are usually scams. Out bodies and muscles take time to adapt drastically enough that you can see the results above the skin. What I mean by this is we are benefiting from every bit of physical activity we do, however the results are not obvious from looking in the mirror.
Getting guidance from a workout video which specializes in the improvement of your whole body is also a great thing. Individuals are often so focused on one small part of the body which they want to improve that they forget that the body works as a system. If you want to lose the fat on your belly, for example, 300 sit-ups a day won't make a difference. Of course, your abdominal muscles will have great endurance, and be very strong, but you won't lose that layer of fat on them. These workout videos will give you a huge boost in your understanding of what types of movements can benefit which body parts, and how. For this reason, it can be much more beneficial they you ever thought to get yourself some guidance and workout at home. www.eqlifestyles.com

Energy drinks and working out? Things to beware of

There are so many convincing energy drinks out there, and that leads me to send a quick message out about them. Lets say you want to be able to have the energy to get through some intense training, for example, at the caliber of the Shaun T insanity fitness program. This requires you to take your body to the next level, and will leave you completely exhausted. It could also be because you need the energy to stay up, study, stay late at work and still be functional, etc. Energy drinks are full of sugar and caffeine. While they are okay every now and again- the periods between allowing your body to recover from them- you could start to depend on them for daily functioning.

Relying on unnatural methods for energy, such as caffeine, dehydrate the body, and cover the body's actual exhaustion, which further exhausts the body. Also, caffeine can take up to 12 hours to clear from your system, which usually interferes with your sleep, which is vital for recovery. If you want a real and natural energy high, start enriching your diet with natural fruit and vegetable juices, and see if you enjoy making them on your own with an at home juicer. Next, get on a regular routine of daily exercise. Try something like Shaun T insanity, its a series of dvd's that are ultra popular right now because of the great results they've had. Rigorous daily exercise will boost your energy levels throughout the day. www.eqlifestyles.com

INFORMATION TO GET IN SHAPE

Chances are, unless you’re a professional athlete, a personal trainer, or a bodybuilder, you’d like to be in better shape. While it’s difficult to look like the men and women in fitness magazines unless you make it your profession, you can achieve general tone and muscle definition through dedication. Here’s some information for embarking on your workout program:
~Get Motivated – most exercise programs approach the individual through the actual exercises, illustrating how to get in better shape. For most people, this doesn’t work, you need to be self-motivated, and approach exercise as an individual. Recognize the best times to exercise, recognize the days of the week and times you won’t exercise, recognize what causes you to stop exercising.
~Stay Hydrated – it might seem like a simple practice in the grand scheme of fitness, but drinking water increases your metabolism, assists to curb hunger, gives you more energy, and allows you to exercise longer before becoming tired.
~Reward Yourself – the ultimate goal of a leaner body with more definition isn’t enough for most people; you need to reward yourself in the short term as well. Don’t reward yourself with food, but rather entertainment. If you stick to a grueling exercise schedule for a week, see a movie, buy new clothes, or take a weekend trip with your sweetheart.
