Tips for a “Sculpted” Lean Body
‘Progressive
Overload’ will Guarantee your Results:
The body
adapts. It’s been doing it for a loooonnng time and will continue to do so
forever. So how do we use this to our advantage? Well the key is to place ever
increasing demand on the body, thereby forcing it to continually adapt. If you work
out with the exact same weight every session and perform the same number of
repetitions, how can you expect your body to grow?
“The law of
progressive overload simply says that you must increase the amount of reps or
the weight lifted every single workout (or as close to this as humanly
possible) in order to ignite muscle growth.”
So, if you
want bigger biceps, you must increase the weight you are curling every session
or the amount of repetitions. Remember: Progressive Overload = Muscle Growth.
A
Healthy Menu For
WEDNESDAY
Whole grain
foods help people feel full longer, says the American Academy of Family
Physicians. They recommend foods with three or more grams of fiber per serving.
One cup cooked oatmeal with 2 tbsp. of raisins and 1 cup skim milk is a high
fiber, whole grain breakfast. A whole grain lunch includes 2 Ryvita crackers
with 2 tbsp. of peanut butter and 2 cups of cantaloupe. A light yogurt with 1/4
cup unsweetened whole grain cereal is a high protein, fiber-containing
afternoon snack. For dinner dieters may enjoy 3 oz. of broiled chicken with 1/2
cup cooked quinoa, 10 asparagus spears and a tossed salad with low-fat salad
dressing. Six cups of air-popped popcorn are a great way to the end the day.
