Don’t
fall for any of the B.S. out there: There’s no doubt about the fact that
this must be at the top of this list. As a newbie, you will tend to look around
for information on various media. The fact that you don’t know much about what
you’re doing is going to make you easy prey for all the scams out there. I’m
not going to meander around the issue, but rather get right into it. Let me put
this straight- I’m talking about the so called ‘magical’ weight loss products,
‘secret’ training techniques, ‘best’ exercises and any product/ program with
the word ‘shortcut’ on it. Like most other good things in life, that summer body
you’re aiming for ain’t going to come in easy. Make fitness a habit, find a
regime you love and work to make those dreams a reality.

2. Eat right: I cannot emphasize on this
enough. Diet like you mean it! When was the last time you saw one of your
friends claiming to be on ‘a diet’ and then binging on a pizza the very next
day? You have got to put in the effort to stay committed to your goals. Now,
I’m not going to be an a-hole and tell you to eat like a patient for the rest
of your life. Flexible dieting does have its place, but binging on cookies, ice
creams and pizzas every day, will NOT work. Try maintaining that 80-20 ratio
between clean foods and your favorite snacks.

junk every now and then? Reach out to me to know more about how you can set up
a diet plan with the right macro nutrient ratio to continue burning fat fast as
hell, while still eating your favorite foods.

Basic
Compound lifts: If you’re a newbie at the gym and do not have access to a
trainer or a more experienced friend to help your out try sticking to the basic
old-school compound movements such as the bench press, deadlift, squat, pull
ups and maybe a few isolation movements here and there. Any complex techniques
such as drop-sets, super-sets, or anything else you read about in those
bodybuilding magazines and online forums may not be a good place to start off
from, especially if you don’t have any idea what you’re doing.
4.
Kill
your Ego and DO IT THE RIGHT WAY: I’ve seen tons of people absolutely
sabotaging their gains by walking in on the first day and going to the far end
of the dumbbell rack and trying to curl with some heavy assed weights. I must
confess- when I started out a couple of years ago, this is what I would do.
What did I get in return? I had to deal with issues such as tendonitis,
petichiae, muscle cramps, etc. I’m sure you know what I mean.
Especially if
your goal is to get lean and shredded with good muscle definition, you must
focus on the correct form, right posture and feeling that ‘pump’ in your
muscles; not trying to move around heavy assed weights to impress the guy next
to you. He doesn’t care and neither should you.
5.
Don’t
be Intimidated: “I wish my arms were
as big as his.” “I wish I could bench six plates.” “I wish I had glutes as good
as hers.” “Why aren’t my abs as good as hers.” If these are the type of thoughts that run
through your mind when you’re at the gym, STOP! Take a deep breath and remember
that the only person you should be better than is the person you were
yesterday. As cheesy as that may sound, it’s true. I think fitness is more
about being a better version of yourself first. Track your progress and keep
pushing. You will get to where you want to get.
