3 Keys to Burn More Fat And Build Lean Muscle

Everyone who hits the weights wants to do two things: build muscle and lose fat.

Here are three keys you can use to help you achieve more muscle building and faster fat loss.

1) You need to set a realistic, challenging and specific goal. Forget vague statements like ‘I want to lose weight.”

Determine exactly how much muscle you want to build or fat you want to lose and write it down.

For example, ‘I want to lose 24 pounds of fat by December 1st, 2009.”

Now stick it where you’ll see it everyday, such as on your bathroom mirror.

2) Find something that will get you motivated to kick butt with your training, nutrition and supplementation program.

Some examples are an upcoming wedding, high school reunion, before and after contest, or some sort of competition, like a bodybuilding show or triathlon.

3) Develop a solid plan.

Even if you have a muscle building or fat loss goal, and you’re motivated, it won’t matter if you don’t have an effective plan in place.

To reach your goals, you need to have plans for your weight training, cardio, nutrition and supplementation, whether your goal is weight loss, muscle building or just better health and fitness.

If you don’t, you’ll end up disappointed and frustrated with your lack of progress. Instead of reaching your goals, you’ll end up quitting.
