As I’m sure you have heard before there is no time like the present, and how true that is.  With 2010 here it’s time for the excuses to turn into action in terms of getting in shape.  This is never an easy road for any of us, either a beginner or someone who is an advance athlete.  I find for myself it’s easier to take small steps as I like to let my body gain from the least amount possible, saving the extreme things with diet and training to throw in when my results start to slow down.

For example, I cleaned my diet up cutting all junk food out except one or two items a week and then in a few weeks I will remove those also.  Before, I ate out 3 or 4 meals per day now it’s two per week.  When I stop eating out I then will also get strict in the type of carbs I’m eating.  With training I started cardio 5 nights per week for 20 minutes and then in a few weeks it will go to 30 minutes per session and then later twice per day.

So as you see I just keep raising the intensity when I feel my body is use to what I’m doing.  Another good thing when this is your body adapts and doesn’t over train as easy if you jumped right in 110%.  Remember, you don’t need luck because you will get that look as 2010 is your year to be driven and focused.
