KEEP MOVING

When it comes to getting fit, it all comes down to one thing: consistency. We are all aware of new year resolutions and that 79 per cent of people stop before January ends, that’s because we all miss the discipline required to achieve such desired goals.

If you want to get ripped like Michael B Jordan, you’ll have to do as he did: hire qualified and knowledgeable fitness professionals, and walk through the doors of a qualified fitness facility that can help you work towards that goal. Yes, you can do it on your own, but if you haven’t done it until now maybe you just need a starting point, and there’s nothing better than people that take others just like you through that journey on a daily basis.

For me, nothing beats a High Intensity Interval Training (Hiit) workout with varied functional movements and while moving specific amount of loads according to your limitations and abilities, but something that keeps pushing you everyday. And yes, cardiovascular training is a big part of it but a 30 minutes boxing/kickboxing session is by far better than 30 minutes on a treadmill — and let’s face it, more interesting too. It has been proven that 30 minutes of Hiit increases the Human Growth Hormone and therefore an increase on your performance and results, regardless of what they are (fat loss or muscle gain).

You don’t need endless hours at the gym, you need to do it every day. Just like brushing your teeth, maybe one of the days might be just some mobility and recovery but you keep the consistency. The most important thing is to keep moving, even if it’s on your own.
