4 Key Training Principles Of Success

If you’re looking to lose weight, getting your fitness levels up and gaining lean muscle mass, then before starting your exercise program you need to know what the four key training principles of success are. Without them you will find it almost impossible to reap the rewards of great results.

Let’s start with the most important principle of any training program.

“Direction”

Without it you will have no purpose for training. By having direction you will be able to visualise what you want to accomplish. You will be able to set your specific goals and break them down accordingly. By knowing what your direction is and what it is you want to achieve, you allow yourself to train with a purpose and you will be able to focus on each individual session, you will know what you’re doing each session for and what you should be getting out of it. Training without direction is training without goals and if you don’t have goals in place you will find it very difficult to achieve real results.

Variety is something that should not be over looked. I can’t tell you how many people come to see me with training plateaus and have been doing the same exercise program year in, year out for as long as they can remember. No matter how good your exercise program is, it has a time frame. Once your body adapts to it, your program needs to be updated as soon as possible otherwise the positive changes you experienced at the start of the program will soon diminish. If you do the same exercise program everyday, year after year without changing its stimulus ( the exercises, sets, reps, resistance and the intensity of your cardio) your body will only adapt to those known stresses and nothing more, depriving you of achieving the results you’re looking for. Without changing your exercise programs on a regular basis you will hinder your chances of achieving your desired health and fitness levels. You need to constantly add new stresses to your body and never allow it to fully adapt in order for you to see continuous changes.

Training at the right intensity is a key factor to achieving great results, whether you’re looking for fat loss, muscle gain or anything in between. When you perform low intensity aerobic training you do burn lots of calories, but the problem is that once the workout ends so does your body’s ability to keep burning calories because your body quickly returns to its normal state which leads to a rapid drop in your metabolism. However, with resistance training combined with anaerobic interval training you will create a metabolic disturbance in your body, resulting in an extended period of fat calorie burning many hours after your workout has ceased. This will ensure that your body will lose fat and get lean quicker. The type of training programs I prescribe for my clients looking for fat loss and body sculpting basically combine resistance training with anaerobic interval training and are designed for them to workout at the right intensity so they can achieve their desired goals in the shortest time frame possible. By training at a higher intensity, your training sessions can afford to be a lot shorter than traditional workouts because you’re getting more bang for your buck. It’s quality over quantity. In fact, the higher the intensity you train at the greater the increases in your post exercise oxygen consumption will be.

Achieving your desired affirmations comes from hard work on a consistent basis, simple as that. It pays to be consistent because the changes your body makes in relation to your training happen over a period of time. These changes to your body become more advanced the longer you’ve been training. So by being a consistent trainer and along with lots of hard work you’re more likely to achieve great results.
