Comeback PLAN!

Holiday season is officially over and everybody has gained some weight (admit it) and to get back in shape follow this 3 simple and short steps or advices which will give you the right boost to preform harder exercises in the future.

1.Cardio
Start doing a lot of cardio workout to burn down the fat which you gained and to speed up your metabolism. Cardio will help your body to burn more calories and it will give your body a slight shock after holiday laziness.

2.Cut the carbs & sugar
You probably heard that a million times but it is very essential if you want to loose the fat you gained during break. Cutting carbs and sugar out of your daily menu can reduce intake of empty calories and that will result in weight loss which is our goal after holidays. Cutting carbs doesn't mean you must totally avoid them and throw them out of your menu,  that is absolutely incorrect because you must eat ''good'' carbs like vegetables, fruit and whole grain products.

3.Start pumping
Start doing simple calisthenics exercises as pushups, pullups, situps and squats for different body parts. Use this method: Choose 7 types of exercises (ex. pullups, chinups, pushups) and do every exercise for 1 min for 3 sets with 2 min rest between them. Write down your score (how much reps of particular exercise did you do in 1 min) and try to beat that every consecutive day for 2 weeks (use 2 days of week to rest your body) and you will see the improvement in your strength.
