Here's The Quickest Way To Build Muscle And Lose Fat

Author: Shawn Lebrun Author Ranking Silver | Posted: 18-11-2005 | Comments: 0 | Views: 232 | Got a Question? Ask.

So, you want quads the size of tree trunks or biceps that bust out of the sleeves of your shirt?

Well, let me ask, are you taking a step forward, each and every day, going after what you want to achieve?

Or are you a member of the "I want it now but don't want to work for it" club, simply sitting back waiting for things to come to you?

It's no secret that life rewards action. If you sit back and wait for things to come to you, I hope you have a lot of time to wait. The true power to reach your bodybuilding goals is your ability to consistently take action each and every day.

In fact, can you imagine how much closer to your muscle building goals you'd be if you simply resolved to do ONE thing each and every day that would bring you closer to that goal.

Good things would start adding up quickly, and like the snowball that keeps getting bigger while rolling down the snowy hill, you too would find your muscles getting bigger.

Successful people are not necessarily those that make the right decisions all of the time. But they do make decisions and better yet, act upon them.

If what they do doesn't work the first time, they simply try something else until they get their desired result.

What amazes me is the number of people I see and talk to that are not happy with their current physique or muscularity, yet they keep doing the same things over and over again, expecting different results!

Thomas Jefferson once wrote "I'm a firm believer in luck, and I've found the harder I work, the luckier I get."

Well, the same is true in bodybuilding. How hard do you work for the things you seek? Do you take some form of action each day and go after them?

Do you get in the car and drive to the gym in the snow when you could just grab some cocoa and sit in and watch a movie?

Do you slam a protein shake when you're done your muscle-blasting workout or do you just wait a few hours for dinner?

Do you do an intense cardio session when it would be far easier to sit on the couch?

The great thing about taking action each and every day towards a specific bodybuilding goal is, sooner or later, the momentum you build is overwhelming and you find yourself closer to your goal than ever expected.

It was once said that "Good things come to those who wait, but it's the leftovers from those who hustle."

I would like to challenge you for two weeks.

Each and every day for two straight weeks, do something, anything, that brings you closer to whatever fitness goal you may have. Take some form of action every single day.

Whether you are beginning an exercise program or consider yourself advanced, sit down, go over what you are looking to achieve, and then plot out specific steps you need to take to accomplish these goals.

Then get acting on them. You'll find that the more you act on things, the more good things happen.

The great thing about taking action towards a specific goal each and every day is that the Law of Momentum will start to take hold.

Meaning, a body in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted upon by some outside force.

The flip side, of course, is a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted upon by some outside force.

Accept the challenge, do one or more things every day for the next two weeks that will move you closer to a specific goal you have and see how the Law of Momentum starts to take effect in your life.

Whether you realize it or not...you have chosen to be where you are.

Success is easy - if you work hard, consistently follow your plan, stay committed and determined, and don't give up until you have what you want.
