The important part is to ensure that you raise the bar with every workout. You have to force your body to adapt. If all you have are 50 lbs dumbbells, don’t stick to doing a certain number of reps with that weight on a specific exercise. At best this will maintain you. Instead, find a new harder exercise to do with that weight, try the exercise from a more difficult angle or while having to balance. Do whatever you need to do to force your body to adapt.
I’ve had tremendous results in my life with all bodyweight home workouts (i also really enjoy weights when they are available). If using bodyweight exercises try to put yourself at a leverage-disadvantage (keep increasing the disadvantage as you get stronger). This makes it way easier to get results than just trying to do higher and higher reps.
Step 1.
60 seconds a day away from a 6 pack.
Lay on your back raise your feet 6 inches off the ground. At the same time squeeze your abs and hold your lower back on the ground. (So there is no space or bridge between you lower back and floor)
You do not have to sweat. You do have to take your lower abs to the point of failure. Raise your shoulders and head a bit so you back is flat on the floor. (This is the key)
Cut out all starches, bread and pasta. If you’re going to eat carbs make sure it is fruit, vegetables or small amount of whole grain wheat.
Eat as many grilled vegetables as you want. Zucchini, Mushrooms, Grilled Chicken and use a lot of spices or Cholula hot sauce to add flavor.
You will tone down and get in better shape doing this compared to running on a treadmill and going to eat a bag of flaming hot Cheetos.
Step 2.
30 minutes a day 4 days a week to being ripped out of your mind!
