Lose the fat, tight abs will be revealed.  Easier said than done right?  Well it may be easier than you think.  Try following these steps for a month and you will be amazed of what you can accomplish.

The first step is to decide.  When people truly decide to become fit they will.  The people who are so sick of being overweight, the people who are told that if they don’t they will die, the people that associate all the pain in their life to being overweight.  These people renounce their old habits and say “I will NEVER get that way again!”  And they never will.

Do you see the difference between the above and saying to yourself I need to lose some weight.  Saying that you need to lose some weight is a softener.  It saying “it’s not too bad.”  Well if it is not too bad what will motivates you.  We are motivated by two things and two things only.  And these too things are to gain pleasure and avoid pain.

So the first step is to decide that this is what you truly want.  The second step is to link as much pain to not being at the level of fitness you want and as much pleasure of being at that place.  If you would like more information on how to use this please and pain to literally change your life Click Here.

The next step after you decided is to make a plan.  Decide in advance exactly how much weight that you want to lose.  Then figure out how long it is going to take you.  2 to 3 pounds a week is not unreasonable.  Then break it down into weekly goals.  So let’s say that you want to lose 30 lbs.  Write down on a piece of paper and say that I WILL lose 30 lbs in 10 weeks.  That is 3 lbs a week.  Carry this piece paper with you.  Look at it as often as possible throughout the day.

Take your plan and break it down into exact steps.  Write it down on the piece of paper.  It can be I will eliminate this from my diet or I will eat this amount of calories.  I will exercise this amount.  Be specific.  Also make a list of what you are going to give up.  Be clear on this.  Once you know what you are going to give up you can start associating pain to this activity or food.  For example if you are going to workout at a time that one of your favorite shows is on, picture yourself heavier that you are now while your friends and family makes fun of your weight.  This may sound evil, but I bet it will get off the couch.

Immediately take action.  Do not ever set a goal without doing something directly towards it attainment.  You need to prove to yourself that this is what you truly want.  The startling truth is that 95 percent of what we do, how we act and how we respond is handle by our subconscious.  We do not even think about it.  You need discipline yourself to follow through until these action and behaviors engrained into your subconscious were now this new behavior is performed without thinking.

If your goal is to lose fat and have firm tone body you need to make sure that strength training is involved.  Heavier weight with a rep range of 8-12 works the best starting out.  If you use free weights you will typically see better results.  This is absolutely true for women too.  Intervals will trim fat faster than long cadio sessions.  These means going hard for one minute catch your breath and recover for a minute before you start another burst.

Your body burns so many calories a day.  That threshold is called your metabolic rate.  You need to make sure that on average your calorie intake is below this number.  A new method is called calorie shifting.  This were you eat a different number of calories a day.  If you lower your calories too much your body will try to maintain its weight.  This is actually a defense mechanism for starvation.  Your body will actually lower your metabolism.  Calorie shifting tricks the body to maintain the elevated metabolism.  Click Here for more information.

Start looking at food as fuel, because that is what food really is.  Far too often we associate good feelings to unhealthy foods.  If we eat foods that give us energy and make us more vibrant, we need to take note.  We need to associate these foods with feeling of being alive, focus and abundance of energy.  Then these foods will become the ones that we love.

Reward yourself.  If you are not going to do it most likely no one else will.  Have you ever helped someone out and then in return they did something nice for you?  Now, this same person asked you to do something again.  Because of the gift they gave you and because feel appreciated aren’t you more likely to help the person again?  You know you are.  Do the same for yourself.  Start out by rewarding yourself any time you do something to attain your goal.  Then reward yourself ever other time.  Then reward yourself every 5 times.  After a month it will be part of you and you will have to reward yourself.

Look for obstacles.  What cause you to fail before?  What can prevent me from getting to the gym this week?  I am going out to dinner with my friends on Friday, how can I eat healthy?  If you go through your week this way you can come up with an alternative plan.  If something comes up, you will be prepared and able to stay on track.  It is very easy to fall back to our old habits.  Planning ahead could be the deciding factor of achieving your goal.

All these tips I have only covered briefly.  Do not take them likely.  They are important and extremely powerful.  Take advantage this tips, lose the fat, tight abs will be revealed.  I hope this article helps you become more aware of what held you back before.
