10 Tips To Get Ripped

10. Train With Weights - This seems obvious but there is evidence to back up the fact that training with weights not only burns calories when training, but also stimulates your metabolism for up to 4 hours after

9. Add Fibre - This is a great help when you are on a low carb diet, its assists in helping you to feel fuller longer.

8.  Keep Moving - Ever notice that lean people move faster and always seem to be on the go? It’s because they are! Keep moving to burn calories.

7. Eat Protein Every Meal -  Lean protein stimulates the metabolism, and helps to build muscle. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn.

6. No Bread & Dairy - When I did this it really made a difference to the fat that is stored around the mid section.

5. Cut Sugar - We all know that sugar spikes your blood sugar levels and when this happens and you don’t exercise, your body begins to store fat.

4. Cycle Your Carbs - I do 2 days with moderate carbs and heavy training and 2 days low carbs with cardio + conditioning workouts.

3. Exercise 30 Minutes Each Day - If you want to stay lean year around like I do, exercise has to become a habit. Like walking your dog or brushing your teeth after all it’s a lifestyle. If it was easy to be ripped EVERYONE would be! So schedule your training into your daily routine. I like to split mine up and do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach then do my weight training in the evenings. Eat, sleep, train, and repeat.

2. Variety - Your body will adapt to any type of activity imposed on it, so change things up! I never do the same workout twice. I’m always changing the order of exercises and cardio by adding in drop sets, 1 1⁄2 reps, or intervals.

1. Use Fat Burners -  They can amp up your metabolism, act as a great pre-workout stimulant and help curb cravings thoughout the day.
