The Importance of Keeping Your Training Simple

It's extremely important that you keep your training simple. When I say simple I do not mean easy. Everyone I assume has heard of the KISS approach. If not let me tell you that KISS stands for 'Keep It Simple Stupid'. The K.I.S.S approach has been around for a very long time and used by people from all walks of life in generating success. There is absolutely no need to complicate things in order to become successful. You simply need to incorporate things that are easy to understand and implement, but you must also understand that keeping things simple does not mean making things easy.

"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein

When it comes to training you need to KEEP things SIMPLE, in the sense of keeping your training...

Structured: Training must be organised and well planned.
Intense: Training intensity is of paramount importance.
Monitored: You must monitor and evaluate your training.
Progressive: Training must be progressive and you must control your progression.
Lifestyle Oriented: You must look at the 168-hour week as opportunity for progress!
Exclusive: When you TRAIN you MUST train. STOP socializing and FOCUS!

Strength Training and Cardio For Getting Results

In this article I will present basic information on strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training that I have found to be foundational in my experiences with physique transformation contests as well as fitness training in general.

If you are new to a fitness lifestyle that includes a focus on exercise and nutrition, keep in mind that most beginners, or people just returning from an extended layoff, can expect to make better progress than most "seasoned" exercisers. Be advised that exercise programs can be very demanding activities. I recommend that you have a physical exam by a physician before you begin any programming recommended in this special report.

Everyone working to change their physique, whether trying to gain or lose weight, should be measuring body fat (and lean mass) as they go along. For those desiring to lose weight, I believe it is crucial to strictly focus on fat loss and not just weight loss. Too many people get hooked on what the scale says, not caring if weight loss is coming from fat, water, or lean mass. If people are losing over 2 pounds of scale weight per week, research tells us that there is a high likelihood that some of that is lean mass. If you want to lose significant amounts of body fat as rapidly as possible, you need to be sure where the weight loss is coming from - fat? or muscle? (we don't want to lose muscle!)

Most people come to me with very little experience on how to effectively balance weight training, eating correctly, and cardio / aerobic workouts. My job is to help them establish a foundation to build upon and hopefully stay committed to for the rest of their lives. I always start beginners on a full body strength training program involving higher repetitions and low weights. This strategy is designed to strengthen and condition joints, ligaments and tendons and to prepare the client for more aggressive, higher intensity workouts. These beginner full body workouts, performed every other day, three days each week are also designed to teach clients proper repetition speed, exercise form and breathing. With intermediate clients, I usually start with a slightly more advanced full body workout, still focusing on correct form and rep speed as well as proper breathing.
