1. Make a fitness plan 

The first step to getting the well-shaped body you always wanted is to make a fitness plan. This means that you need to set goals and establish a routine. When it comes to fitness, consistency is key, so make sure you can stick to your routine. There’s no need to overcomplicate things; a simple workout plan that includes cardio and strength training is all you need. A good fitness plan will help keep you on track and motivated. Choose exercises that you enjoy doing, and make sure to mix them up so that you don’t get bored. Try to exercise at least three times a week, and be sure to rest when your body needs it. Your fitness plan does not have to be limited to exercise and training. You also need to plan your diet, supplements, and other fitness activities. Beauty and wellness specialists at LightRx recommend including a body contouring plan, especially on areas where fats are hard to burn. The abdomen, thighs, waist, and buttocks can have persistent fat deposits that cannot be removed despite your best efforts. It is best to have a medical professional help assess your current body and shape and help sculpt it to the figure you always wanted.  

2. Set realistic goals

Often, people set themselves up for failure by setting unrealistic goals. If you plan on drastically changing your body within a very short period of time, it will be difficult to achieve this goal, and you run the risk of becoming discouraged by lack of results; not only that but if/when you fail to meet your goal, you will most likely become demotivated altogether. Instead of having one big goal (i.e.: losing 30 pounds in 3 weeks), set smaller goals along the way that is more manageable (i.e.: lose 5 pounds in 1 week).

3. Get plenty of sleep

Most people underestimate the importance of getting a good night's sleep; however, when you don't get enough rest, your body will become stressed and this will impair your ability to make sound decisions (including ones that have to do with your diet and exercise routine) and will also lead to cravings for unhealthy foods. A lack of rest will also slow down your metabolism, which will make losing weight more difficult. Quick facts: most people need between 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to feel their best. If you've been struggling with getting enough rest, try going to bed earlier or napping during the day.

4. Exercise frequently

When you exercise often, your muscles will become stronger over time; in addition, exercising at least 3-4 days a week can raise your metabolic rate for up to 38 hours post-exercise; the more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism becomes (which means burning fat will become significantly easier). Not only that but exercising increases blood flow throughout the body which delivers nutrients into every cell in the body much more effectively than if you didn't work out at all. Workouts also release endorphins, which act as natural mood boosters.

5. Eat healthily

Eating well not only helps you achieve your fitness goals faster because it will nourish your body with the nutrients that it needs in order to function efficiently, but it will also increase your energy levels which will motivate you to work out even more; this might seem counterproductive at first, but if you are serious about getting into shape then committing yourself 100% is necessary or else things won't change for the better. Thus, if you are serious about getting into shape, then eating healthily must be taken seriously as well!

6. Don't overdo it

While it is important to be consistent with your workouts, you don't want to overdo it to the point where you're so tired that you can't function during the day; this will only lead to frustration and a decreased likelihood of sticking to your routine in the long run. In addition, doing too much exercise can also lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Overtraining syndrome (OTS) is a condition that may develop when a person trains too hard or excessively for an extended period of time without adequate rest. It can result in a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, irritability, insomnia, persistent muscle soreness, and decreased performance.
