3:30 PM

By Helmut West
The purpose of a fitness plan is to help an individual accomplish their fitness goals. To lose inches off your waist and transform your body into a leaner, stronger, healthier you requires a fitness plan structured to accomplish these goals. With all the different programs available today, use the information below to find the right plan for you.




Eat Right, Train Right


Nutrition and training are not mutually exclusive and should be the cornerstones of your fitness plan. Good nutrition is vital for the proper growth and development of a healthy body and supplies us with the fuel required to train effectively and recuperate. Utilizing these cornerstones will maximize your muscle development, fat loss and metabolic rate.


Many fitness plans provide step by step instructions and other useful tools such as nutrition guidelines, daily workout routines, multiple workout programs, meal plans, journals, calendars, to do list, etc., to help you succeed. Use the tools to keep you focused, organized and moving forward towards accomplishing your goals.




As you embark on your fitness journey, don't confuse activity with achievement. You need to achieve the daily task(s) called for in your program. Giving 110% effort in your workout is achievement; going to the gym to socialize is activity. Only achievement produces results!


Helpful Tips


Here are some tips to help find a program right for you:


* Program Compatible with your Current Fitness Level


Make an honest assessment of your current physical condition and find a program at or near your fitness level. Many programs have beginner, intermediate and advance levels. Seek a Doctors' advice if you haven't exercised for some time and make sure you consider any special needs, previous injuries, for example, that may prevent you from completing the program.


* Program Compatible with Health and Fitness Goal


Make sure the fitness program was created for achieving the goal you want to achieve. If you want to lose fat, pick a program that focuses on fat loss and includes the nutrition and training required to achieve that goal. Likewise, if your goal is to increase muscle mass; find a program that focuses on muscle growth.


* Program Compatible with your Personality


Find a program that includes things you like. If you enjoy lifting weights, pick a program that has weight training exercises. Consider the following: working out indoors v. outdoors; lifting weights v. bodyweight exercises; cardio machines (treadmill, elliptical, stair master) v. outdoor activity (jogging, running, hiking). A program that contains things you like to do keeps you motivated and consistent with your training.






* Program You Can Commit To



Make sure you have enough time in your schedule to do what the program calls for. We all find time to do something we like to do! This brings us back to finding a program compatible with your personality. It's much easier to commit to a program that peaks your interests, motivates and challenges you than trying to motivate each day to do something you don't want to do.


* Equipment


See if the program you like requires any equipment and/or fitness products. Some programs require gym equipment to complete the exercises while others call for dumbbells, straps, pull-up bars, etc. There are very intense high quality programs on the market that only require your bodyweight to complete the exercises.


* Support System


Check whether a program has a support system for any questions you may have regarding the program. Many programs have websites or other type of support system.






* Money Back Guarantee


Many plans now come with an unconditional money-back guarantee. This may come in handy if you buy a program, go through it and find out it is not what you expected.


Conclusion


To lose inches off your waist requires action! Seize the moment, make a goal, utilize the tips above to pick a program, focus on achievement, be vigilant in your pursuit and enjoy the ride!
