Lets begin with step one and that is finding the time to go to the gym and or do any physical activities that will benefit your health. We are all busy people and we tend to make excuses to not find time to make it to the gym, go for a run, go for a walk, go bike riding, or any physical activity of some sort that will get you up and sweating. All it takes is one hour of your day and believe it or not, that hour is only 4% of your day. Still cant find time? That's okay because it doesn't even have to be an everyday thing! Starting off as little as 3-4 days out of the week or even once a week is a great place to start! So find a piece of paper and write out your daily schedule throughout the week. Find an hour that you have open and use that hour to committee yourself to the gym, for a run, or any sort of physical activity. Once it becomes a routine your body will adapt and you will notice physical changes with in your body in which can be weight loss or muscle gain! You will not only notice physical changes but challenging yourself will also callus your mind and spirit. Maybe this video below will motivate you to start today.

Weight lifting is a great way to becoming fit and there are many different workout splits you can use. For beginners I recommend starting off by working out 2-3 days out of the week.

When I talk about split, it is just a slang on how to organize your workouts throughout the week days.

For say Monday will be your push day, Wednesday your pull day and Friday your leg day. This

Step 2 Nutrition

Now that you have a set schedule of when you will workout we can take it a step further. This next step gets a lot more into detail but for the simplicity of things I will try my best to keep it basic. If you have made it this far great but realize that other factors play a big role when trying to become fit. Nutrition is a big key when you are trying to loose weight, gain weight, or recompose your body structure. It's great that you workout and all but if you haven't noticed any big changes, this is because you are eating unhealthy. Although statistics show that once you become more physically active, your body will start to crave healthier foods. But sometimes we can get off track and you can not overwork a diet. They say the gym is only 20% of what keeps you fit and the other 80% is in the kitchen. In this step we will talk about nutrition. Now many people get the wrong conception about dieting in which they have to stick to salads and chicken breast for the rest of their li
