  • Always drink water and plenty of it, all day, every day.
  • Never eat until full, only satisfied.
  • Coffee is okay, but go easy on the sugar or use Splenda.
  • Never miss meals because missing a meal will slow down your metabolism.

 

 Training Plan:

           

            Pick which body parts you want to work for which days.  You should only train with the weights for four of seven days with this plan.  Your cardio should be on the three off of weight training days.  You can combine body parts into a day such as: chest and shoulders or biceps, triceps, and forearms.  Only work each body part once per week and try to have a day off from the weights every other day.  The routines below will last you a whole solid month!
