Whether you are beginner, or someone who is in the fitness life for a long time, there are some rules we all have to follow. These 7 laws, as I named them, are just little helpers that show you the right way.
We all make mistakes when it comes to fitness, and not only if you are a beginner, but it happens to many girls that are in this fitness lifestyle for years.
We all make mistakes when it comes to fitness, and not only if you are a beginner, but it happens to many girls that are in this fitness lifestyle for years.
That happens because of not knowing the right way. So, to save yourself time, and to help you get results faster and make your workouts more effective too, I decided to give you a list of the 7 laws of fitness. Follow them, and you’ll never stop your progression.
Law 1: Strength Comes First
Strength training should always come first. Many people make a huge mistake by doing cardio before the weight lifting training, and that is because they think that that way they’ll maximize the weight loss.Well, no, things don’t go that way.
The thing is, when you start with cardio, you waste your energy on cardiovascular exercise, and you cannot expect to give your 100% on the strength training, when you’ve already lost energy.
When cardio comes last, the chances of maximizing the weight loss are higher too.

Many girls get that stereotype that if they lift weights they are going to bulk up, but this is 100% false, because you are not a male you are a female, you cannot bulk up, you will only get stronger and sexier.
The weights are very important for weight loss too, in fact, lifting weights beats cardio overall. So, warm up for 5-10 minutes, hit the weights and in the end clean your muscles with 20-30 minutes cardio.

Law 2: Always Have A Plan
You got to have a plan. Otherwise, your workout can be a waste of time. You’ll find yourself lost in the gym, and not knowing what machine to workout on.
People make workout plans for a reason. They help you with the workouts, and they arrange your muscle groups.

Law 3: Make Fitness A Priority
Fitness should become your priority. That means, no matter how tough your day was, and no matter how how many miles you’ve walked, because shopping is not a workout. Everything can wait, except fitness.
Exercising every day can sometimes be a pain in the ass, when you can go out with your friends instead. Because of that, making it your priority activity, will make you more committed and commitment gives you more results. So, you have to convince your own mind, that fitness is the most important thing, and it’s only 1 hour a day, so excuses are not allowed!
Law 4: Clean Food Is The Key
You can work your ass off, but if you don’t clean the food you are eating, you’ll never find out how beautiful your body can be, and how amazing your soul can feel. The food you are eating is probably one of the most important things when it comes to fitness and weight loss!You should forget the word “diet”, just eat healthy and clean food, full of proteins. Don’t eat less, just eat healthy. That is the best habit you can have, to help you not only look good, but to feel good too. You cannot stay fit if you eat unhealthy, fried and fast food. Remember, fit body is made in the kitchen.
Law 5: Give Everything You Have And More
One of the things that is holding us girls back, is that sometimes we are not training hard enough. Actually, most of the girls are afraid of heavier weights, because of the fear that they are gonna bulk up, and they think this way: light weights for light muscles. But things don’t always work that way.Half ass workouts will never give you the results that you can have if you are giving it all. You have to give all you have and more, otherwise you can find yourself in a position where you are not getting positive results. It have to challenge you, so that it can change you! So girls, get the beast out of you when you are in the gym.
Law 6: Make Constant Changes
In order to progress and to stay motivated, you have to make constant changes. This is important because it get’s you more results. If you do the same old exercises, the chances of progress are lower. Also, you get motivated by changing the exercises now and then, and replacing them with some brand new exercises on machines you’ve never exercised before.
You should change the exercises almost every training, so that at least they can be different from the exercises from the previous training. This will help you get more results. Otherwise, you are just slowing down the process.
Law 7: Fitness Is A Way Of Life
You can’t expect to work out and eat healthy for 3 months, and then to be fit for the rest of your life. You have to get this one: Do not make it a process – make it a lifestyle. Quick fixes cannot make you fit, or skinnier, because fitness doesn’t work that way. You have to give, so that you can take something back, and when you stop exercising and eating healthy, the only thing that you are getting back is fat!
