Fitness training program, tip #1: don't compare to others

Tip # 1 Don’t compare yourself to others :

We often want to start fitness as summer approaches or after the end of year holidays. We regret our past excesses and we want to lose everything immediately by doing sport again, and to have the body we dream of, quickly.

Unfortunately it is not that easy and it is important to take your time if you want to obtain solid results that will last, we are talking about muscle building, which means a progressive approach to achieve lasting results, the objective is not to see your muscles will last draw disappear quickly. Will you be able to lose these 4 kilos before summer? Several factors will come into play for this:

• Genetic

Yes, when we talk about weight loss or muscle building, we are all different. Some will have a higher basal metabolism (editor's note: number of calories we burn at rest) than others, which means they will lose weight more quickly.

• Motivation

Set a goal and stick to it! When you go to the gym, be focused and “in” with the workout. Forget sitting on the bike while watching TV or using the phone to see what's happening on social media.

• Be rigorous and perseverant

Do you have your goal? Now set your calendar and don't miss your fitness or sports sessions if you mix the activities, note how you feel after each one and notice the progress as you go. Do not hesitate during your meals to limit the consumption of foods which you know will explode your calorie count (cold meats, cheese, butter, alcohol, etc.).

• Be reasonable

If your goal is to lose weight and lose 20 kilos, it may be interesting to divide this into several stages. This will allow you to realize the positive effect of training while remaining motivated. Remember: you have to win several battles to win the war! Don't put pressure on yourself by trying to exercise every day for hours if you can't keep it up. To help you lose weight, we have developed 2 very complete products:

1. Stimium ® ThermoShape (1 capsule to take in the morning for 2 months) whose active ingredients will help you eliminate fat through its appetite suppressant effect, its activation of fat metabolism, thermogenesis and finally its contribution to stopping lipogenesis.
2. Stimium ® Hydro Off (3 capsules in the morning for 3 weeks) whose active ingredients will help you burn excess fat and water.

These 2 products are to be taken in addition to a healthy diet, that is to say with a balanced diet and the practice of physical activity, such as running, elliptical bike, cross-country skiing or indoor cardio training. in winter, like the exercises we offer below as simple examples.

• Relevance

In the choice of your activity and the choice of your exercises. If you want to work your glutes, it's not worth doing the treadmill 3 times a week and hoping to get results, you will gain cardio and endurance, but the results on your glutes will be less relevant than with other ingredients. Choose your goal and then choose the activity that will correspond to that to achieve them.

Advice from our Stimium coach:

“ Cool Raoul, everyone has their own pace!”

You are not on a military camp so you have the right, even the duty, to listen to your body. Take more recovery , options or even reduce your training time. Don't hesitate to walk between harder sessions if it helps bring your cardio down. This will prevent you from seeing a few stars in broad daylight. »

Contrary to the Declaration of Human Rights, we are not all equal in sports. It is clear that some will have to make more effort than others to burn calories and lose weight, or vice versa, to gain muscle mass. Some athletes will have difficulty losing weight, and conversely other completely inactive people will have no difficulty losing weight. It is all these differences that make us rich, even if it is true, we would like to be in the category “I don’t gain a gram and yet I eat everything”. The best advice will always be practicing regular sporting activity and sleeping well.
