My get fit the right way and quick plan!


My Get Fit the right way and Quick Plan

The Rules

  • Like my other plans, this is a lifestyle change so don’t think of it as a diet. The goal here is to feel good and look great.
  • Stay focused and remind yourself daily of why you want to get fit and healthy! Flex that willpower.
  • Drink lots of water. Aim to drink an ounce for every pound you weigh.
  • As soon as you wake up, have some lemon water. Try to do this at least 3 times a week. (If you do it every single day, it can make your teeth a bit sensitive.)
  • Pick one exercise from the “Exercise Options” list to do every day (save one day for rest).
  • Do all of the exercises listed under “Everyday Exercises” list each day in addition to your selected workout.
  • Pick one meal from each category for each day, in addition to one snack.
  • To get your metabolism revving, personally, I swear by green tea.
  • I suggest to help build lean muscle, incorporate protein after your workouts, such as Muscle Milk Light. or protein powder.
