Adding Momentum To Your Fast Fat Burning Metabolism! Week 3 Of Your 2012 Fit Lifestyle Challenge & Plan


Heading into week 3 of your 12 week plan it's all about momentum & fine tuning! Your fit lifestyle plan is in action & you can get excited because all the fat burning is adding up to a decent progression towards the fit toned body you have been focused on. This week I want to give you fine tuning diet & exercise tips to add momentum to your increasing metabolism and fat burning.

Week 3 Diet Plan

"Being Hungry & The Desire To Eat Often Is The Sign Of A Fast Metabolism."

For your Diet Plan this week it's important to remember that there is a difference between eating healthy & turning your body into a lean fat burning machine. To increase your metabolism, get fit, & burn fat for fuel it's important to focus on timing of your meals & getting the right meals in at the right time to prep & recover for your workouts. Week 3 is all about fine tuning the timing of all your meals and especially your workout preparation & workout recovery meals. Week 1 & week 2 were about creating the foundation of the right foods, with the right portions, & planning out your weekly meals. Make sure you continue to plan out your meals for the week, getting your healthy grocery list together, & cooking ahead of time to prepare for your week.

Moving forward, you now should be focused on becoming as efficient as possible at coordinating the correct meals & meal timing with your daily schedule & your workout schedule. When you eat the right meals pre and post workout with the correct timing you are going to burn more fat & gain muscle more rapidly. Your body also loves the consistent timing of every meal & will burn through the food faster & through more fat just from fine tuning the timing. You will know this is happening when you begin to wake up hungry & you are hungry right after you finish eating a meal. These are signs of a fast metabolism and your body burning stored fat for energy.

In comparison being hungry b/c you aren't eating consistently throughout the day, aren't eating enough at each meal, or are eating unhealthy meals is a sign that your metabolism is slowing. Another sign that you are slowing your metabolism and storing fat is the absence of hunger. If you don't have an appetite for long periods of time b/c your are eating too much at one meal or eating so much at night that you aren't waking up hungry. This waking up not hungry is normally followed by waiting to eat until later in the afternoon or evening the next day. Know that the good kind of hunger that is promoting a fast fat burning metabolism is from you eating frequently & eating healthy portions of the right combinations of food at every meal.

Week 3 Workout Plan

Keep up with the consistency of your workout schedule & the intensity of your training in the gym that you setup in week 1 & week 2. This week add momentum to your fat burning in the gym by continuing to add to the variety of challenging & effective exercises to your workout routine. By adding new exercises to your workouts in the gym you will add to your fat burning momentum. Add the same time don't just add exercises to add them, you want to be adding the most effective & efficient exercises.

Intensity, Recovery, & Progress! Week 2 Of Your 12 Week Diet & Exercise Plan/Challenge.

You have finished 1 week of your healthy 2012 diet & exercise plan, congrats & big pat on the back! Challenging yourself & taking action towards your healthy lifestyle goal is quite an amazing accomplishment. With your plan in place & week 1 kicked off, week 2 is all about intensity & recovery to achieve the rapid progress & fit lifestyle you are after!

Week 2 Exercise Plan

"It Is Time To Sweat!!!"

The second week it's time to bump up the intensity in the gym. In week 1 you are getting used to your training schedule & your body adjusting to a consistent workout routine. In week 2 it's time to sweat & start pushing yourself. The body will adapt to any demand placed upon it, if you are inactive your body will adapt to that demand becoming sluggish and slow. If you challenge yourself with resistance exercises, sweating, & attaining periods of 65-85% of your heart rate max then your body will continually work to improve & progress to adapt to the demand being placed upon it. You will begin to see more rapid progress in an increased metabolism, increased appetite, your body working more efficiently during your workouts, & the one we all love fat burning & toning of your fit physique.

Week 2 Diet & Exercise Plan.....Recovery & Progress

"The Inaction Is Essential To Balance Out All That Action!"

In week 2 your body is starting to adapt to all these new challenging demands of healthy diet & a fat burning workout plan. Your body is being challenged all day during your diet plan to burn fat. In addition to your diet fat burn your workout sessions are giving you even more fat burning which continues for 24-48hours post workout. Your body wants to become more fit to keep up with the challenging healthy demands, so it will adapt by turning into a fat burning machine.

Now, instead of relying on just food for energy, you are relying on healthy food & stored fat for energy. It is essential to let your body get enough recovery so it can keep up with all this rapid progress towards your goal. There are a couple of things your can do to help you get the recovery you need to keep up with all the progress your body is making: hydrating, sticking to your timing of your meals, eliminating unnecessary stress, downtime, & getting adequate sleep each night.

You Are Intense & Recovering for Week 2 of Your 12 Week Plan!

Week One Of Your 12 Week Sweat Fit Lifestyle Plan & Challenge

I'm very Excited for you it's Week One of your Plan!! The first week of your 12 week plan I have all your diet & exercise tips to make this a successful healthy diet & exercise week for you.

Week 1: Healthy Diet & Exercise Plan

A fit lifestyle is the combination of a consistent diet & exercise plan. Combing all the new habits of both this week are going to kick start you to rapid & long term progress. The combination of an effective diet & exercise plan is key to training & eating to change your body. Doing both consistently this week is a major jump & accomplishment so be proud & get excited!

Week 1: Keep it Simple When Focusing on Your Diet & Exercise Plan

Before you started your 12 week fit lifestyle plan you thought about your overall goal that you wanted to accomplish. Keep that overall goal in mind during the plan, but now that you have started it's important to focus on your diet & exercise goal on a week to week basis. Ask yourself, what do I need to do this week to make sure that I have everything in place to be able to stick to my diet & exercise plan? Keeping it simple will ensure that it's manageable & you will find yourself taking all the actions necessary to living your new diet & exercise plan on a week to week basis.

"Sometimes the Goal is on a Meal 2 Meal & Workout 2 Workout Time Frame."

Week 1: Measure Your Diet & Exercise Progress

This week it's essential to take all your measurements & photos so that you are able to see all the amazing progress you will be making. Remember the first day of measurements are all a positive action. Initial measurements are all about your jump off point to just keep improving & making your life healthier, positive, & more active. These measurements are very important for your monthly check-ins & forward progress. You are going to be making yourself physically healthier both internally & externally.

Week 1: Diet Plan

Remember to hydrate! Water is very essential to your body utilizing all the healthy food you are eating, recovering from workouts, & turning your body into a fat burning machine. Water is your new best friend that should be with every time you eat. Each day it's a great goal to focus on getting all your water in. Water also helps incredibly with a sense of being full & satiety with your healthy meals. Ensuring that you get all your water in every day is essential to your daily diet plan.


Week 1: Exercise Plan

"Break the Sweat Barrier in the First 5 Minutes of your Workout!" --DK

The first week in the gym it's all about keeping the consistent workout schedule that you have setup. This week your goal is to make all your set workout times & workout for the entire workout session. It's really easy to move workouts to another day or to tell yourself you'll add it in at the end of the week. Work to stick to the schedule that you have setup to make yourself stick to the actions you've laid out for your exercise plan.

You are Going to Do Amazing for Week 1 of Your 12 Week Plan!

1. Get Your Mind Focused On Your Fitness Goals

It's important to write down & focus on your goal. Believing in your fitness goals & continually focusing on the desired goal during the entire 12 weeks is extremely important. This goal is going to be the reminder in your head to stay focused so you can reach your goal. I suggest NOT making the goal a specific weight, rather making the goal a clothes size, a 1-3 change in clothes size with the sweat training diet & exercise plan is a great goal.

2. Clean Out The Unhealthy Food In Your Kitchen

Start with cleaning out all the unhealthy food in your kitchen that hasn't been helping you get to your goal or live your fit lifestyle. Throw out all the holiday cookies, pies, candies, left overs & unhealthy junk food. It's cathartic to remove all this unhealthy food that is associated with your unhealthy habits and unhealthy behaviors. Now that you have removed the unhealthy past you are now able to make room for your healthy future. Hit up the grocery store & load up on all the healthy & effective foods that are on your diet plan. The sweat training grocery list & diet plan makes it easy to pick up all the effective healthy foods.

After you grocery shop your weekly meal plan will make it easy to pair all the healthy foods into the right portions so that you able to implement an effective weekly diet plan.

3. The Sweat Training Exercise Plan

Pairing your diet plan with a consistent & effective exercise plan is essential. Look at your weekly schedule and plan out your 4 sweat training workout sessions & 2 of your sweat training cardio sessions. When you plan out your workouts ahead of time they will fit into your schedule, waiting till the day of and trying to fit in a workout doesn't work...out! Remember to pack your gym bag with workout attire, workout shoes, sweat towel, workout music, & water bottle. Now that you have a planned workout schedule the most important part putting your effective workouts into your workout schedule. No thinking about how to workout you will always have effective workouts that will keep you challenged, motivated, & get your body lean & toned.
