So many people in life want to jump straight to the finish line. We want immediate results, that magic pill. But, to achieve anything great in life, there is no shortcut. This month, I’m going to take you through why taking your time to reach your physical goals is so important, and how to achieve your dream physique.
The two goals I most often hear from people are: “I want to put on some muscle and get bigger” and “I want to lose weight and get skinnier.”
But let’s think about that. In an attempt to put on muscle, if we put on weight too fast, we’re likely to put on an excess amount of fat, which we don’t want. In an attempt to become skinny quickly, we may go on a crash diet that will help us to lose the weight, but will simultaneously result in losing a very large amount of muscle. Even worse, this puts us in an unsustainable position where we are in danger of rebounding quickly and putting on all the weight we lost, plus possibly even more.
So how do we achieve this fine balance?
You may have heard the terms “bulking” and “cutting” in the bodybuilding world. This can easily be a very effective tool in your fitness arsenal, helping you towards your fitness goals, not just Arnold’s.
