FURY Friday || Where to Start

So you decided to start a fitness journey. Cool.

You’re going to go to the gym. Do a shitton of cardio. Lift a little weight. You want to get TONED like a mothaf***a. It’s just common knowledge. Right?

I’m not here to tell you that you won’t lose weight doing that, but realistically, it’s a tough road that you’re going to be trudging through. Actually, you will lose weight, but will you look like an Adonis?? Nah. The body doesn’t really work like that. Human beings were not made to do endless amounts of cardio and crunches so that it can get toned. 

In fact, doing tons of cardio can actually burn MUSCLE and force FAT STORAGE. That or it will emaciate you. That’s cute.

There’s a ton a science behind this. But I’m not a scientist. If I were, I’d be credible. What I do know is that I’ve listened to the research of a lot of different people. People who are successful in losing weight, and helping others lose weight. People who help people build muscle and feel the best they ever have. 

If you want to look like those people in the fitness magazines, there’s some important steps to take. The biggest one though: UPGRADE YOUR DIET. Not even kidding. It’s one of those things that everyone says. “Cut out fast food, eat salad, low fat!!!!” JK. I eat salad. But my salads are the bomb dot com. I put all kinds of colorful things in them so it’s exciting when I eat it. Like Disney’s World of Color for my mouth hole. But you need to be careful of what you put in you. Whole foods are the best really. And that would be step ONE.

Do yourself a favor: download a food tracker like MyFitnessPal on your smart device. Put in your salad because you’re going to eat one. Because I said so. Hell, you can make your salad a drink by blending that thing in a blender and make it grass juice. Then throw some fruit in it to make it sweet. Then you’re eating greens like a boss. 

Oh back to MyFitnessPal, the read the labels of everything else you eat or search it in the MyFitnessPal database and follow the App’s recommendations for Fats, Carbs, and Proteins. Boom. Diet upgrade. You will be forced to pay attention to what you’re putting in your body because you will be making yourself aware of what major nutrients are going in. You are now a diet gangsta. 

BE ASSURED: You don’t need to be EXACT with your nutrient goals, but get as F*****G close as possible. I mean, I never hit that shit exactly ever. Maybe once. Like a boss. And if you’re unsure, err on the side of PROTEIN. Because protein makes muscles. And muscles are buff. You like muscles, right?

REMEMBER: this is just a start. But it’s one of the easiest things you can do.

OH SHIT: DRINK A TON OF WATER TOO. Like half your body weight in water. Like SRS. I’ll tell you why soon.
