Da Program.

Da Program. Okay here it is. I'm going to try and simplify the program in categories of diet and exercises. Okay me and Dennis decided to do this program for many different reasons but I think we both wanted the same results in the end. That is we wanted to shed the fat we have accumulated for the past several years of inactivity. To be healthy just in general. Maybe a little bit of narcism. Hahaha. You know you wanna look good too. Okay here is the diet: it's simple and just common sense, you have to burn more calories than you eat. Simple right? Hahaha. Best guideline for this is to follow the 2000 caloric intake suggested by the American Heart Association. The key to a successful diet is variety. Don't omit anything but moderate everything. Any extremes will rob you of essential nutrients. Don't be stupid about it either, you know what's good vs bad, so don't place yourself in the category of he said I can eat anything in moderation. Yeah-yeah, I knowit's really easy to give yourself excuses but let's be honest with ourselves and don't cheat yourself from getting the results. Hey if I get enough positive feedback on this I can possibly give a more indepth picture about different meals to put together. Here are just a few tips for your diet: decrease sugars (sodas, juices made from concentrates, I guess pretty much what we call sweet treats), simple carbs (starches - what I call the white family - rice, potatoes, and white breads), and the bad fats (I really don't think I have to go too much into details with this one). The most important thing to do is increase your lean protien intake (chicken breasts, fish, lean cuts of beef, and if needed protien shakes). Your carbs should come mainly from fruits and veggies instead of starches. And if you are going to eat carbs try to eat the brown ones (whole grains). Here is my secret on staying on the straight and narrow; allow yourself one day of havingwhatever you want (a cheat day). Try to more smaller frequent meals rather than the 3 large traditional meals. This will actually trigger your metabolism to burn faster and more efficiently. Oh and also try not to eat past 8pm and if you get a craving grab a fruit or some veggies. Okay I think these are some good starting points and as I said if I get enough positive feedback I can definitly go into further details. Da Program. Here it is. As I've mentioned this program will in da minimum could be accomplished appropriately in 4 months or more efficiently in 6 months. And I selected to opt for the latter. Just because we have time and just the way our schedule works, having to work night shifts. One key ingredient in getting the most results out of the workout is sleep/rest. And that luxury is scares with our work and family schedules. In the 6 months I broke it down in 4 phases: Phase 1 is the initial phase which works on edurance, strength, and conditining - this is probably the most crucial as it will determine the success of your program, the more you put in this phase the more results you will have in the end). Phase 2 is strength conditioning (heavy, heavy, heavy - pyramids). Phase 3 is endurance/stamina (calisthenics - what they call the prison workout). Final phase is muscle rebuild (form, form, form with heavy weights). Not bad at all right? I didn't reallygo into too much detail cause as I've said I need a lot of positive feedback before I can give you the secrets. This is just a taste. Stay tuned.
