How To Get A Ripped Body

By George Taves


Ready to get a ripped body? Here are some suggestions that can help you accomplish your goal. I would suggest that you only follow these if you already have a measure of fitness behind you. These suggestions might be too much for someone just starting to get into shape. But, these suggestions will help you see results in no time.

It's important to understand that if you're already in shape, you already have the muscle foundation you need. All you need to do now is lose some body fat so those muscles underneath can show through. The strength training program you are doing is probably alright, you just need to make sure you are doing enough cardio exercise and you diet is good.

In regards to the actual training plan, you have options. You can either adopt an existing plan or create your own. If you decide to use an existing plan, I suggest either P90X or Body for Life. Both are fine and proven programs that focus on these same goals. But, especially if you are going to create your own, here are the guidelines:

1. Train nearly every day! Training daily keeps your metabolism high and burning more fat all day. I only suggest one day off each week.

2. High intensity weight lifting. Make sure you lift weights to a heavy fatigue. This promotes muscle growth which in turn increases your metabolism even more. Also, larger muscles show through your skin more than smaller ones. These are examples of good exercises.

3. Drink lots of water. Your body simply won't do what you want it to do if it's cells don't have water. The suggestion is a half ounce of water per pound of muscle every day.

4. Protein. In case you don't know, muscles are built from protein. If you don't give it to your body, the muscles can't grow. Most people don't get enough protein in their diets, so I suggest getting some whey protein powder and mixing up a protein shake each day.

5. Get off any junk food now! Avoid sugar at all costs. Eat a lot of chicken, rice, potatoes, vegetables and fruits.

6. Recovery. Most people don't understand the importance of allowing your body to recover from training. Without it, your body breaks down and doesn't improve. This means rest and good sleep.

These simple guidelines have been proven effective and will help you get the ripped body you want!
