Get in Shape in Two Weeks: 4 Simple Rules

We all want to have a great body that we feel good about and proud of – when we feel good about ourselves we are much more confident and happy, and a fit body usually means we are healthier too which is the most important thing. To get a really fit body though, a lot of hard work is required and it is not just about exercising hard every day.

It is easy to make a lot of excuses when it comes to exercise and being healthy but if you can follow some simple rules then it is much easier to start getting in shape and feeling good in your own skin.

Below, we have outlined four simple rules designed to help you get in shape as quickly as possible. If you have been engaging in home workouts but you aren’t seeing results as fast as you would like, implement these rules and you will likely start to notice a difference much faster.

1. Consider exercising regularly

So you have been exercising for a while now without results. In fact, it’s been two months of exercising, and you aren’t close to getting that optimum shape you desire. What might be wrong?

To understand the source of the issue, you need to sit down and figure out how often you exercise. Is it once every three days? Once in four days? Or just at the weekends? If you only exercise whenever you feel like it, you won’t reach your goals fast.

To achieve optimum shape and health, you need to consider exercising half an hour every day (if you are a novice). For those who are already used to exercising, you can exercise three to four times a week.

However, have it at the back of your mind that it is often hard to maintain a workout program you don’t do daily. Also, try not to repeat the same exercise routine every day. Switch things up daily to get the best results

2. Duration doesn’t compare to the intensity

As soon as you begin exercising every day, what do you do if you aren’t still seeing the transformations you crave? Most individuals will solve the issue by escalating their workout routine, switching thirty-minute workouts into three-hour stretches. While this may seem good, logically, the truth is that it wastes your time and doesn’t produce the full desired results.

Rather than exercise for a long period, you can engage in intense exercises for a short time. You can consider watching a boxing workout DVD for insights, then proceed to perform an intense boxing workout for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can perform a 15 minutes intense reverse lunge session. By doing so, you increase your chances of reaching your goals faster and have enough time for other activities on your schedule.

3. Don’t rush things

Your morale is high. You want to smash your goal fast, so you resort to starting your exercise in full swing. While doing so is commendable, you shouldn’t rush things. Don’t kick-start your exercise plan by running fifteen miles. Neither should you start lifting weights that could paralyze you pronto. Instead, start slow and easy.

You have a lifetime to be healthy, so don’t attempt to rush things by engaging in exercises that are more than your limits. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, and not the other way round.

4. Eat good food

Eating the right food is key to getting in shape fast. Many people fail to record rapid results after weeks of exercising because they fail to complement their efforts with the right meal.

To ensure that you are eating right, take time to study your daily diet. Look at them closely and figure out if they are healthy or not. If they are healthy, kudos to you, stick to them. But, if they aren’t, don’t hesitate to change your diet.

Here is some helpful nutritional advice to help you get in shape:

• Don’t eat processed foods
• Eat more vegetables
• Eat whole grains and not the opposite
• Discard those fake healthy snacks that appear to be good for you

Conclusion

Getting in shape doesn’t have to be hard. If you have been trying to develop your body into something you crave and haven’t seen results, it is probably because you haven’t been doing things the right way. Engage in the right exercises. Eat well. Begin slowly and trust the process. In the end, you should see results.
