Top 10 Fitness Dos and Don’ts

Just like everything else in the world, the little things you do on your fitness path do matter. Small everyday changes make a world of difference. If you walk just a little bit further and burn a few extra calories if you strive just a little bit harder in the gym and get 1 or 2 more reps, if you avoid temptation and say “No!” to that ice cream you’ll get where you want to be 10x faster…

Don’t get me wrong… you still need to make the big changes that I recommend, but remember… Every avalanche starts with just one snow flake.

Small changes lead to small, but noticeable changes in your physique that will  give you a knew found hunger for achieving the celebrity body

of your dreams. It’s doesn’t even need to be mentioned, but the more you want something the more you are willing to work for it.

Here are my top 10 Fitness Dos and Don’ts:

1. DO NOT Workout Hungry. In today’s society we’re already running on an empty tank. Do not go to the gym

without “refueling”. You’re going to do more harm than good.

2. DO Drink Plenty Of Water… The average person does not drink enough water and by commiting to a fit lifestyle you have

officially become abnormal. You now need even MORE water. I reccomend filling up an empty milk jug and trying to finish

1 gallon of water each day.

3.  DO Compound Exercises. Performing multi-joint exercises targets more than 1 muscle group. When you perform compound

exercises your body is releasing more growth hormone. *Natural* growth hormone is good

4. DO NOT Neglect Your Legs. Far too many people in the gym neglect their legs (Especially guys) there are too many

benefits for me to name in this short post that go along with working your legs. DO NOT BE ONE OF THE MANY GUYS

WHO NEGLECTS HIS LEGS, YOU WILL REGRET IT ONCE YOU LEARN WHY IT IS SOOO GOOD FOR YOU.

5. DO Get a solid 8 hours of sleep. These days nobody sleeps nearly as much as they should… and we’re not even

talking about active people.  When you’re hitting the gym hard you absolutely need a solid 8 hours of sleep or more.

6.  DO NOT Rely too heavily on supplements. A supplement is an addition… and it should be an addition to an already

solid nutritional program. If you’re eating garbage all of the top supplements and their pretty labels won’t be able to save you.

7. DO Train With Weights. Obviously if you want to gain muscle you need to do some weight training, but

even If your goal is fat loss, you need to train with weights. More muscle = More calories burned. More calories burned = fat loss!

8. DO NOT Eat out too frequently. Even the healthiest items on the menu aren’t quite as healthy as they want you to believe

9. DO prepare your meals in advance. By preparing your meals in advance you not only save money, but you also ensure that you are not going to

cheat on your diet. It’s easy to find yourself too busy at work to find something healthy to eat so you settle for an unhealthy meal.. .or worse, you don’t

eat at all!

10. DO Set Your Watch To Eat Every 3 Hours. This is a great way of making sure you meet all of your nutritional requirements for the day. I learned this trick

a long time ago, but I got lazy. I think Vince Delmonte reminded me of this easy tip
