One of the biggest changes and motivations to my fitness goals was realizing all the sources that I had at my disposal. This changed my whole perspective on fitness. In addition, it helped me so much in terms of my workouts and dieting, more so than any fancy nutrition or training course that I ever took.

Simply going on YouTube and following so many inspirational fitness gurus really helped  educate me on a much deeper level. There is so much information out there that you can use to your benefit and help fat proof your life forever. Be sure to use those sources to your advantage.

11 The power of positivity

Sounds like a cliché at this point, but in reality surrounding yourselves with positivity can fat proof your fitness goals forever. There seems to be an endless amount of positivity amongst some of the best fitness gurus in the world today.

It’s proven that positivity can enrich your everyday life, just imagine how much more it can enrich your fitness goals with constant positivity in that area of your life as well. I’m not suggesting you get rid of your pessimistic friends, but when it comes to fitness surround yourself with people that are just as driven as you are. This will not only keep you happy, but in addition it will allow you to dedicate yourself to fitness that much more. Make positivity a habit!

10 Take the longer routes

Purposely parking further at work can make that much of a difference over time. Just imagine how much of an impact taking a little bit of a longer route can have over the course of year. Don’t think of it in terms of daily progress, look at the big picture. What seems like only a little bit of extra walking is actually quite seismic when you consider it over the course of the year.

Take the stairs instead of the elevator next time, make it a daily habit. This new routine will have a big impact on your life in the long run, don’t be afraid to taking these alternatives, it can really help to fat proofing your life in the long run.

9 Active Days

This goes hand in hand with the previous point I just mentioned, staying active over the course of a day is a great way to set yourself up for long term success. Basically, the more you move, the more your burn over the course of a day. Develop strong habits like going for a walk on your breaks or as I mentioned in the previous entry parking a little bit further at work. Staying in a constant burning state will improve your metabolic rate causing you to burn more over the course of a day. Find ways to stay active even out of the gym, this trick will fat proof your life guaranteed.

8 Make a realistic exercise plan

When it comes to staying fit, planning is everything. If you really want to fat proof your life, make a gym schedule that works for you and one that you will follow. Having a set routine will motivate you and allow you to stay consistent at the gym. Making an unrealistic plan will only hurt your expectations causing you to back pedal trying to catch up to this routine more times than not. Find the proper amount of time it takes to reach your goals, this will set you up for great success in the long-run. Find time and be realistic!

7 Avoiding the processed route

Eating processed foods can halt progress. Processed foods are usually loaded with sodium and contain added pesticides or chemicals for extra flavoring. Eating fresh foods is a very important key to fat proofing your life. Fresh foods contain no added preservatives and contain natural substances.

If you want to take it a step further, organic foods are a tremendous alternative to fat proofing your life. Eating organically can serve many benefits, one of them is boosting your metabolism, causing you to lose even more weight. Organic foods contain no added pesticides, this difference will ultimately cause your body to stay in a fat burning mode for longer periods of time. Pesticides that are in nonorganic foods cause the body to work much slower due to the fact that it interferes with your thyroid, the thyroid is responsible for determining the temperature of your body.

6 Cheat Meal

A cheat meal believe it or not can actually help to fat proof your life. Indulging is very important, especially when you are consistently dieting over long periods of time. Cheat meals can also help speed up your metabolism, giving your body some dirty fats that is desperately craves. Incorporating this meal will make you feel good and make long-term goals seem that much easier. Indulge, you deserve it!

5 Sleep quality

Fat proofing your life begins with the quality of sleep you are getting. The body requires at least 6-8 hours of sleep per day. Aiming for 7-8 is ideal. Losing sleep can simply drain your metabolism causing you to burn at a much slower pace. Food processing also becomes much more strenuous on the body, trying to digest carbohydrates becomes increasingly difficult when your body is exhausted, this lowers the energy production in your body throughout the course of the day. Make sure to get a good night’s rest, this will get you on your way to fat proofing your life in a hurry.

4 Friend support

Your support system should be as strong outside of the gym as it is in the gym. Finding friends that understand your way of life is very important when it comes to fat proofing your life. Friends tend to be your downfall or uprising when it comes to attaining your fitness goals. Make your friends understand how important fitness is to you, in doing so, don’t be a hermit and just avoid temptations, instead find common grounds like going to eat at restaurants that have things everyone can enjoy or doing other things that can benefit everyone. Getting your friends on board is one of the most important things you can do to fat proof your life, do not neglect the importance of doing so.

3  Training with a purpose

Training with a purpose is crucial when it comes to fat proofing your life. Although I commend everyone that steps into a gym, it is far greater to enter a gym with a specific, goal, purpose or game plan. Basically, set yourself up for success. Follow a proper fitness program and diet plan. Take progress pictures. Track your workouts. Improve your weaknesses. These are all little things you can be doing which can be vital to fat proofing your life forever.

2 Adding not taking away

Taking the approach of looking at what you’re adding instead of what you’re giving up can play a major role on your mind set. A person that normally begins to diet thinks about all the things they're giving up, this instantly puts them in the wrong frame of mind. Instead, think about how you can change your life while still eating some great nutritionally dense foods. There are over 10 different dietary proteins you can eat, various veggies and numerous dietary carbohydrates you can also incorporate. Using this type of mind set will get you much further down the road. This is a very important factor when it comes to fat proofing your life.

1 Visualize

The process of visualization is quite impactful when it comes to obtaining your fitness goals. Visualize what you’re going to do before hand is very underrated and can ultimately help save you time while disciplining yourself.

Before you wake up every morning visualize your meals and when you will eat them. Visualize when you will work out.

Another big tool is doing 5-7 minutes of cardio before your workout. This can not only help to kick start your metabolism but it can also be a time for you to mediate and visualize your workout ahead of time. This will not only save you time but it will also keep you motivated going into the workout. Visualizing is a huge key to fat proofing your life.
