I happen to follow Kurt Warner on Twitter. Not only is he an all-around super nice guy, he also happens to be one of the best undrafted football players of all time and his12-year career is regarded as one of the greatest NFL stories in history. Here is how I responded to one of his many tweets:
Ok…now I
know that Kurt HAD to work with great trainers in his NFL days, but
hello! I guess I just assume that it’s
common knowledge that eating clean + weight training = ripped.
How bad do
you really want a ripped body? If you
want it bad enough like I did, then commit to eating clean/non-processed foods.
I’m talking really and truly commit.
Read The Eat Clean Diet from Tosca Reno or The Paleo Diet book from Dr.
Laura Dolson. (I prefer to call it a
lifestyle instead of a diet and no, I do not get any commissions for plugging
these books. I love them and they helped change my life.)
Educate yourself, get rid of all the junk in
your pantries, get to the gym or set up your own workout area, and make your
new body happen!
It’s
amazing how many people just haven’t made the connection to what goes into your
body creates HOW you look. It really is
70% diet, 20% workouts, and 10% genetics.
Your diet is KEY to sculpting your body starting from the inside. Weight training will mold and form your
muscles to create a beautiful body. Eat
clean to get and stay lean.
Love ya,
Kurt, but just “eating better” won’t help you get ripped.
To be
(ripped), or not to be (ripped)…that is the question. The answer is up to you.
I saw a status post on Facebook a few weeks back that made total sense to me....."Fitness is not 40% gym 60% diet. It's 100% dedication to the gym and your diet". I don't believe in any magic number when it comes to percentages. That's why I like this quote :)
ReplyDeleteI like it too, Charlotte. Dedication to gym & diet is the key. :)
