The TRUTH on how to Get Into Shape

Posted by mkowal in Featured Articles, Marcus' Tips, Training Program, Training Updates on May 14th, 2011 | 8 responses

If I was given a dollar everytime someone asked me “what to eat” and “how to get into shape“, I’d be a rich man. Can you make me a work-out plan? Can you tell me what to eat? Everyone and their mother wants to be in shape. Everyone wants the solution on how to do it. The magic. Yet, they already know it. You already know it. It’s a pretty simple formula; work out and eat decent. That’s it. That’s the formula; that’s the magic!

Now, I’m going to give you the solution to how to work out:

Ready?

Just make yourself sweat; get out of breath; keep doing that for 20-40 minutes everyday, 6 days a week. If I can give you one drill and one drill only to get you into shape, it’s the Burpee. If you do 50 brupees a day, 6 days per week, you will get results. The reason why the burpee is so effective is because it’s a complete body movement. You get upper body training from the push-up part; you get legs and glute training from the squat part; and you get your stamina work from the jumping portion.

Here’s the solution to decent diet:

Stay away from sugar (soda, candy, etc). Stay away from “white” products, such as bread, rice, pasta, flour, etc. Stay away from high-calorie foods.

Thus, the magic formula is: Eat less calories than you burn, and you will start losing weight; you will get into shape.

Nike has it down pretty well: Just Do It

Now, “being in shape” is a very subjective opinion. There’s obviously thousands of ways of fine tuning one’s shape. However, if you’re OUT of shape, the above “magic formula to getting into shape” will work just fine.

      Haha – just keep doing what most of the developed world’s population is doing: eat too much, don’t work out, look for the next best diet that will get you thin and promise yourself you’re going to start working out….next week…
