we spend in the gym, to me, the most important part of any training programme is the diet. So construct a diet that is balanced, consisting of a high protein content, low GI carbs, a little fat, and lots of green leafy vegetables.
If you struggle constructing a diet, I would suggest consulting with a nutritionist or find a trainer who will be able to give you both a training programme and a suitable meal plan. Trainers can be expensive, so choose someone who is reputable and has experience in the field. I am currently being trained by IFBB Pro Marius Dohne from Born To Dominate( BTD).
I decided to join him after one of my competitions where I was not happy with the condition of my body. He worked magic with me and helped me achieve my goal in one month! Marius is such a great trainer. He has such a positive attitude and really takes care of each and every one of his athletes. This helped motivate me especially during the tough days when I just wanted to give up. Also, the thought of getting on his bad side was enough to get my booty into gym- have you seen the size of him? Haha.
What is your training split? 45 minutes cardio in the morning with an abdominal session and approximately two hours weight training in the evening.
• Mon: quads and glutes
• Tues: back and calves
• Wed: glutes and hamstrings
• Thur: shoulders, chest and calves
• Fri: quads and hamstrings
• Sat: arms and calves
• Sun: rest
Any last words? Firstly, if you want to get into shape or compete, do it for yourself. That way it remains your goal. Make it a lifestyle. Get a trainer and stick to what they suggest. So many people try out a trainer for a month and then leave when they don’ t see any change. Persevere and trust them and you will see results. M. E
