How To Focus Your Mind To Develop Your Abs And Body

Probably the SINGLE most important part of your workout routine and goals, the thing that’s going to give you the motivation and kick to get you the perfect body you want is the single thing nearly everyone seems to forget.

If you were to go to your local gym now and ask someone to describe their reasoning behind them being there, their goals and what they want to look like. I bet you anything they won’t give you a straight answer. No one will be able to describe EXACTLY what they want to look like, or EXACTLY how whatever they do at the gym is going to benefit them.

This is the single difference between the toned body of a superstar and your average Joe that goes to the gym a lot.

Hollywood film stars and people who have great bodies know exactly what they want to look like in their mind. They know exactly what they want their arms to look like, they know exactly what they want their chest and pecs to look like, they can see a beautiful set of washboard abs, they will be able to tell you what sort of overall body shape they want, what sort of obliques they want. The list goes on and on but this is how it starts.

If you don’t know what you want to look like in your mind and yourself, then there’s no aim or effort really going to be put in to what you do at the gym. You won’t feel motivated or purposeful in all you do at the gym. This is where it just becomes another ‘choir’ for people to do, till eventually they drop it altogether.

So how do you focus your mind and achieve exactly what you want your body to look like?

You need to take some time to really sit down and think what you want to look like, If you’re not sure but really do want to make a difference to your life and your looks, browse round the web get some pictures and ideas really get yourself into how you want to look, even if your far from it now, a key thing to remember is that nothing is impossible, you can achieve ANYTHING when you put your mind to it.

Really enjoy this and take a minute to time out and think how you would feel if you lost x amount of weight and had a nice set of six-pack abs, or a beautiful, slender toned body. Or maybe you want some really beefy arms or more shape around your thighs and buttocks.

Once you know what you want and have really got this feeling and idea in mind you then need to set yourself believable goals towards attaining your ultimately perfect body.

If you want to develop your arms, start doing weights,and every 2 weeks to a month knock up whatever your pulling by 2-5kgs and do a few sets at the new weight till you feel you can replace it altogether with this new weight, keep working with these little things and notching up till you get to where you want.

Apply this principle to every area you want to improve and put together a program, or a routine that you do every time you’re at the gym, alternate everything for a while going up in increments, so now your working towards your perfect body. Then when you finally do get there you will be happy beyond blazes.

You may see people at the gym and think I wished I looked like that, but if you were to ask them are they pleased with their body and workout program, they would probably say not sure or they could do better. This is because they never set out any goals to work towards, they just kept pushing themselves with no real focus.

Your now going to be focused and know EXACTLY what you want and how you want to look. You’re going to feel much more fulfilled and motivate.

This is what motivationis all about :)

Dont Want To Change What You Eat But Still Want To Lose Weight? Heres How...


A lot of people that want to lose a lot of weight never really want to change their diet, which is understandable as what they eat is what they love. It’s a shock to your whole body as well if you want to make the dramatic change in what you eat fast. When people attempt this big change in diet straight away, it rarely lasts for long and they are back to all the fatty and unhealthy foods again.

Well there is a very simple answer to this which has worked miracles on me, and when I started this the effects were very rapid in the first few months, I’m now getting stabilised in my eating habits and KEEPING the weight and fat off PERMANENTLY.

Since my weight and flabby belly used to be a really bad personal problem that affected everything from my confidence to my looks and eventually my mental attitude and picture of myself, I figured the only way to get out of this was to make some drastic changes.
They didn’t turn out all that drastic though, but the first thing I did was swap out my snacking for something like an apple, banana or orange. Whenever I felt the compulsive need to eat I used to get something like a packet of crisps or handful of biscuits, which as your probably all well aware of packs on the pounds pretty quickly. These are some high calorie things which only keep your hunger away for about another half hour before you feel hungry again, so you grab more biscuits...rinse and repeat, you get the idea.

The best way to counter this problem with snacking is when you feel the need to eat, grab something healthy instead, FORCE yourself, I mean really force yourself. Trust me you will be thankful for it. You will feel miles better about yourself for doing it. If you don’t have any fruit or veg lying around, or you don’t have much of the stuff around your house, make sure you buy some next time you go shopping.

The other little secret I found out about pretty quickly is drink a lot of water, health experts recommend 2L a day which seems like an awful lot. But when you take into account our bodies are about 80% water you can see why. Lack of water or dehydration in your diet can often be mistaken for hunger, a lot of people don’t realise this, but water makes up for 50% of the feeling of hunger. So if you’re still feeling hungry after you’ve eaten a massive meal, get a few glasses of water down you and that will quickly sort that out. The piece of advice here to take on board is drink water instead of snacking to kill those hunger cravings.

A good test I find to see if you’re really hungry for food or not is drink 4 glasses of water in a row, if your still hungry after that, then you can get yourself something to eat, otherwise you know, you were just a tad dehydrated.

Doing these two relatively simple things will render noticeable results inside a month to three months. It also requires very little commitment on your behalf compared to changing everything you eat and your whole diet to something you don’t like. Your body will adapt to these little things over time and you will naturally feel more compelled to try other fruit and veg that you may have never really like or thought was tasteless. Since the appetite for sugar and sweet things will quickly deteriate, along with the urges or compulsive eating habits
