“Reset” Your Training For Fantastic Results!

Can you change your physique without intelligent training?

How many times do you see people in the gym doing the same routine day after day, and expecting different results? Most don’t understand principles of intelligent training, which is why few see consistent changes in their body. And that’s why at the end of the year they look basically the same, minus a few initial pounds lost.

A good training routine leads to better results, through not only weight loss if needed, but also losing fat, increasing muscle mass and losing inches. And of course cardiovascular output must increase proportionally to keep up the pace.

Is your gym experience like that? Or do you give up easily if you don’t see fast results? Do you understand there may be a number of limiting factors present: Insufficient effort, improper training methods, lack of consistent intensity, or improper nutrition intake?

Frankly speaking, many are hoodwinked by the notion that they can walk off their excess pounds on the treadmill while chatting on their cell phone. They think because their heart rate was slightly elevated, they’ll see fantastic results. They might even believe that the gym has a magic aura that makes them burn calories by simply being there.

No wonder change stays elusive to most people. If they simply changed their diet and increased their workout intensity it would force their body to make changes. Yet they’ll repeat the same boring daily treadmill walk and somehow expect a different result in their physique. And as body fat on the hips or thighs fails to disappear, you’ll see them at the gym less often and slowly they’ll quit altogether.

Steady state cardio is a prime example of this horrendous approach to training. If you want better results, try some High Intensity Interval training (HIIT) to get fantastic results Don’t just keep doing three sets of ten repetitions and expect “Arnold” muscles. It won’t happen. Vary your reps and sets so that on some days you lift heavy with few reps, while on others you do high volume training.

You don’t just need to do it, but you need to do it harder, faster, and many times, shorter because of the intensity. As was said on a comedy show one day:
