 Lead Trainer Wesley Wilson When Looking at a Fitness Model you can see they all have one thing in common,perfect muscle definition! It will catch the eye of anyone due to the extraordinary muscle symmetry and over all look, I mean who doesn't like muscle!!
Here some great tips to consider in order to get that ever wanted model muscle:
The first would be nutrition, nutrition is 75% of your fitness goal! The worst lie in the book is if you work out you can eat what ever you want, muscle needs fuel! What better fuel to have for muscle than protein. Protein will not only feed the muscle cells, but in fact starve the fat storage cells within your body. Getting approximately 0.8 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight daily will promote lean muscle growth and definition. Decrease your quantity of food in one meal and in fact increase the number of small proportioned meals to 5-6 through the day. Eating smaller portioned foods will increase your metabolic rate which in turn burns more fat, but still preserves the wanted lean muscle.
The next thing to consider is Cardiovascular Training, cardiovascular training or cardio training plays a huge role in muscle definition. Fat sits on top of muscle, so in order to see that sexy lean muscle you have to burn off that unwanted fat with cardio training. Start off with a recumbent bike, bring the bike up to 100 RPMs at level 10 and sustain that for 6 minutes. Next go straight to the elliptical and set the level to 7 and sustain the elliptical at 80 RPMs for another 6 minutes. Next Jump on a Stairmaster, depending on the type if stairmaster your using you should be stepping at a reasonable rate for another 6 minutes. Lastly get on a treadmill and bring yourself to a fast paced walk for another 6 minutes to allow yourself to cool down. This cardio training technique will not only get your heart rate up, but really tap into your unwanted fat storage cells and burn it away!
Third and last thing do of course is weight/resistance train, weight/resistance training will promote awesome muscle tone! Allow yourself 45 minutes a day starting with 4 days a week and in time up it to 6 days a week to keep away from any plateau. Here is a great regimen to follow:
Monday: Upper body (chest, back, shoulders, arms)
Tuesday: Core (abs, Lower back)
Wednesday: Legs (glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves)
By this time your upper body should be totally recovered from mondays workout and you
should agian work on the upper body muscle groups, but with different exercises
Thursday: Upper body (chest, back, shoulders, arms)
Friday: Core (abs, Lower back)
Saturday: Legs (glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves)
Sunday: Rest
Follow this regimen and you will in fact get that model muscle you've always looked for!
Make sure to contribute the three main strategies (Nutrition, Cardio, Weight/resistance training) to your fitness program daily in order to get that physique you've always dreamed of. Take into consideration you can't make a huge change in just one day stay consistent with your program to further your Fitness goals.
Keep up the great work and have fun with it!
