Going to a gym is no big deal, getting supercharged results is.

Workouts is just one thing, what matters is knowing the tips that burn fat, and how to build muscles naturally, twice fast than your competitors.

Do you know muscles are NOT made in the gym, only on the outside?

Confused? Read on to know how this is possible and how you can benefit and shine!

#1 Get Focused for Better Results

Don’t just walk into the gym and start your workouts.

Think what you will work out on and visualize each and every step. This helps your brain to get ready for the process. You should also reaffirm that this exercise will help you shape up properly. Also think about the benefits, whether it will burn fat or build muscles and “how smart your arms/chest/legs/stomach will look henceforth”.

If you have two different sets of reps, take a small break after completing the first rep and think for a minute about what comes next.

#2 No harm in Pepping Yourself Up

Sometimes we feel lethargic and seriously consider giving the gym a skip.

Everyone goes through this phase and even your author experienced it too.

A pre-workout supplement will get you going. Buy the smallest pack and keep it handy. Alternately, if you think a cup of coffee or tea can boost your mood, don’t think too much and grab that cuppa. It is much, much better than skipping the gym.

#3 Drink Like a Fish

Water is the best tonic for athletes & muscle builders.

Newcomers often make this mistake a fail to build muscles and lose fat.

Research says even a 2% drop in your water needs can hold your results.

Ways to drink more water easily!

1. Drinking cold water is much easier.
2. Flavoured cold water is easy to gulp. Try adding a few rose or other flower petals.
3. Add a scoop of your favourite amino acid to cold water and keep sipping throughout the day.
4. Prepare a litre of very dilute cold coffee with caffeine, milk and just a teaspoon of sugar (enough to remove the bitterness of coffee) and keep sipping.

Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water, more if the weather is hot. If your body frame is big, increase this amount by at least 2-3 glasses.

#4 Think Seriously about Recovery & Rebuilding Muscles

Once you start your workouts, think about the recovery part as well.

To support this thinking, sip your BCAA supplement before, during and after workouts. These amino acids are quickly absorbed into your muscles and not only prevent muscle breakdown, the give extra energy which helps in extending your workouts.

Sip your BCAA drink even after workouts so that your recovery is on track and muscles keep getting their fuel for best recovery.

#5 Sleep is the Best Performance Enhancer

Forget your daily soaps on the idiot box (TV).

Sleep early ensuring you get at least 10 hours of Sleep. Anything less and your batteries are not recharged fully and your workouts suffer.

Muscle recovery needs rest and only sleeping can provide the best opportunity.

For jaw dropping results, peaceful sleep is essential.

Initiate a Sleep-inducing process

Before sleeping, create a routine like checking whether the doors are shut properly, including your entrance door, fridge door etc. and repeat every night. Your brain will understand you are now preparing to sleep. There are other options too:

1. Meditate for a few minutes, or
2. Stop having tea/coffee at least 4 hours before sleep time
3. Stay away from blue light at least 2 hours before you go to bed
4. Go for a night walk 2 hours before you sleep
5. Try deep breathing for 10 minutes

#6 Get Your Protein Regularly

Proteins are the building blocks of muscles. Having 25-30 grams of proteins daily not only feeds your muscles, they also help them grow. Whey protein digests quickly and provides instant energy post-workouts. Liquids like shakes not only taste better, they provide the best way for consuming protein. There are many varieties of whey protein shakes you can choose from and make it an enjoyable experience for you and your body.

#7 Learn to Relax, Unwind and Chill

You have opted for building muscular body so feel good about your decision.

When you leave the gym try to be cheerful and maintain your mood the whole day.

Stress is part of life but if you get tense, over-stressed, muscle tissue breakdown will increase. Stress releases cortisol, a hormone which works against your workouts and all your efforts at the gym will be nullified.

Read some comics, gossip among your friends to laugh out loudly calming the nerves.

Try writing all that troubles you. Soon you will find peace all over. The sooner you do it the better.

Try Yoga, the Mind & Flexibility Improver

Yoga can not only improve your overall flexibility, it also helps in meditation which has the power to de-stress.
