4. Try to Get Outdoorsy
Your caveman ancestors didn’t spend all day inside their caves and humans are really made for staying indoors all the time. It’s natural for us to want to see what’s going on outside and sometimes people at the gym can be obnoxious or annoying. One way for people to really enjoy getting in shape is to explore nature and while you’re hiking around in the wilderness, consider picking up a tree trunk and doing some bicep curls like this guy. Use what you have at your disposal and you might never have to pay for a gym membership to be ripped. If you live near some mountains, consider a little bit of rock climbing like this guy. He is clearly getting cut on this mysterious rock which looks like it’s cut as well. As we mentioned earlier, this will expose you to different temperatures other than room temperature at the gym, which will have different effects on your endurance. You’ll also notice a rise in confidence when you realize you can make it to the top of a mountain or that you can bike to the top of a steep hill!
3.Bodyweight Weight Strength Training
Many people might think it’s coolest to go straight to the bench press each and see what their max lift is. While that’s great and all for putting on a little muscle size, one of the best ways for getting ripped is from body weight resistance exercise. This is where you use your own bodyweight against yourself which will result in a much leaner look than if you only lift weights. Make sure to add workout routines such as pushups, pullups and dips for your upper body workouts and squats for your lower body. As you continue to get better and better at doing pushups, you can make it more difficult on yourself by doing weighted and one arm pushups. If push ups aren’t really your think, you can also challenge yourself by doing an easier exercise known as the plank, where you try to see how long you can maintain a pushup position without doing pushups. This will strengthen your core muscles as you try to maintain balance. Giving you that ripped look. Do some research on the proper form for each exercise to maintain a symmetric physique. The military often utilises bodyweight resistance training to bring new recruits to their optimum level, so you should to..
2. Read Those Food Labels
Keep in mind that getting 6 pack abs is 70 percent diet and 30 percent work out routine. This is why knowing exactly what your eating or drinking is imperative for losing weight. While reading the labels, first check to see if there’s any trans fat that is labeled. This is the worst kind of fat you can consume and it’s found in things such as pizza, margarine, cake, and cheese. Trans fat is not only harder to burn but increases your risk for heart disease. The next thing you want to try to stay away from is high glucose corn syrup which is surprisingly in a lot the food and drinks we consume each day. While it’s okay to have in sports drinks while you’re working out, it’s recommended to avoid this. Also you wanted to avoid enriched flour or white bread since this typically is high in simple carbohydrates and which increases your blood sugar and gets stored as fat. Although sometimes this bread is enriched with different vitamins, it’s typically not worth the carb rush you’ll get when eating it. These sneaky ingredients are known to secretly ruin people’s diet plans so keep a close watch!
1.Healthy Fats
Another thing that confuses people when their dieting is the difference between saturated fats and total fats. Don’t get tricked by this one too easily. There can be some very healthy food out there that is high in fat such as olive oil and peanut butter that won’t actually make you fat! You might see on the label there is polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat on some labels and if you do, it’s normally a good sign there is healthy fats in that product. You can also find plenty of healthy fats in fish as well such as omega 3 fatty acid, and people are taking fish oil supplements in order to get a healthy dose.The benefits of consuming these are better brain function, better reproductive health, increase in testosterone for males, and better heart health. Normally the only time you’ll want to consume saturated fat if it contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats
