• Before beginning a fitness program, take some time to set very specific and definable goals as well as a specific time frame in which to reach those goals. Without goals, it will be difficult to succeed.
• Hire a personal trainer at least once in your lifetime for at least three months. The education and tips you receive will be invaluable and timeless.
• In order to reach any fitness goal, you must do ALL of the following or you will fail to reach your goals: (1) strength train with weights at least three times each week; (2) intense cardiovascular exercise at least three times each week for at least 20 minutes each time; (3) eat right and drink lots of water.
• Always perform every exercise to failure (i.e., you cannot perform one more repetition.). This is the one arena in life where failure equates to success.
• To tone up, fail at 12-15 repetitions of any exercise.
• To bulk up, fail at 6-8 repetitions of any exercise.
• Completely change your workout routine, both weight-lifting exercises and cardiovascular, every four to six weeks.
