The Must Have Ingredients For Developing A Lean Body

So what are the must have or key ingredients for developing a lean body?

There are three main areas that you will need to address in
order to develop the lean athletic look and they are:

1. Your Training
2. Your Nutrition
3. Your Mindset

As important as training and nutrition are to your success, your mindset is the most
crucial ingredient of all. If you really want to succeed and transform your body into a
lean athletic state then start addressing the way in which you think about your
training, your nutrition and ultimately your body.

‘If your mind is weak, your body will be weaker’

When it comes to your mindset or way of thinking in relation to training and nutrition,
you may need to eradicate some misconceptions or myths you’ve been fooled into
believing.

There’s a lot of bad information around, so choose wisely the information you put your faith in.
‘You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon.
To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.’

P.A.S.S.I.O.N. Is A Must Have Ingredient

If you truly want to succeed you will want to remember the abbreviation passion.
P = You must PLAN
A = You must take ACTION and put your plan into ACTION.
S = You must have SELF BELIEF and begin with SUCCESS IN MIND.
S = You must find SOCIAL SUPPORT and SURROUND yourself with positive people.
I = You must be INVESTED physically, emotionally and financially.
O = You must identify any and all-potential OBSTACLES.
N = You must NEVER GIVE UP.

The main reasons people fail, is because they haven’t addressed one or all of these
items. They simply fail because...
• They fail to plan.
• They procrastinate.
• They don’t have much self confidence.
• They don’t believe they will be successful, they expect to fail.
• They do not seek social support or surround themselves with negative people.
• They are not fully invested or committed to what it is they want to achieve.
• They did not identify potential obstacles that would get in their way.
• They decided (yes it’s a choice) to give up.

Procrastination is probably the biggest reason people fail. Everyone wants to put
things off and wait until everything is just right before they start, or they’ll say, “I’ll
start on Monday.” You should never start on a Monday. How many Mondays have
you started on? Now how many Mondays have you restarted on? When you decide
what it is you want that’s when you start, there and then, not later, and certainly not
Monday.

‘Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be
challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step
you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more selfconfident and more and more successful.’

You MUST Know What You Want!
Deciding what you want first, which in this case means deciding what you want your
body to look like, is the most important step you can take if you truly want to
transform your body once and for all.

If you wanted to buy a new car, you would first decide what type of car you want,
what features you’ll want it to have, maybe what color you’d like it to be, etc. Yes
you will have a budget to work within, so that will limit your buying options, but
when it comes to developing the body you want, the only limiting factor is you and
how badly you want your new body.

You might well be saying, but there’s other limiting factors such as “ I don’t have
the time” or “I have a family” or “I can’t afford a gym membership” or “I can’t afford
to hire a personal trainer” or our personal favourite “ I have horrible genetics, a slow
metabolism and the fat gene. ”

These are not limiting factors at all, they are simply excuses you use to stop yourself
from developing the body you want. Lots of people have been able to totally transform
their bodies and still lead a busy family life, while holding down full time jobs,
without hiring an expensive personal trainer or taking out a gym membership, and
they all did so by no longer making excuses, taking responsibility for their own bodies
and health, using their time wisely and working with the bodies and genetics they
have.

So decide what you want first, then go and do it!
