Get Your Best Body With 7 Proven Tips From a Successful Fitness Expert
Your best body is very personal. What one perceives as one's best body may be different from others. For example, you may want to be lean or curvy, while someone else wants to appear muscular. It is not one size fits all, so it is important to identify what you are seeking. As a fitness influencer who motivates thousands of people, I like to start with what is your why?
My why is to be strong and muscular; my workouts are designed for that. I lift heavy and I lift hard. If you want lean, you may want to spend more time doing yoga and running, while someone seeking curves will need another type of workout. That said, here are my 7 secrets to getting your best body.
1. Habit Stack
Once you create one good habit, stack on other good habits. For example, if you make coffee every morning, why not drink water while your coffee is being made? Habit stack on that taking supplements with the water. Get it?

2. Eat Well
The one thing that helps me eat well is cooking for myself. You cannot outrun or work off a bad diet. I spend every Sunday meal prepping. You can find many of my recipes on my Instagram profile @deezworkoutz, offering fitness and diet advice—follow my page for regular updates.
3. Get Plenty of Sleep
I get plenty of sleep, which is so important to muscle repair and growth.
4. Workout!!!
Now, workout type matters. Lifting weights is so important. Do that 3-4 times a week. It burns faster than cardio. Muscle will burn fat while you are resting, and a pound of muscle will burn 3X more calories than a pound of fat.
5. Daily Affirmations
Spend one minute telling yourself how GREAT you are every morning!
6. Be Positive
Maintain a positive attitude. Mental health is important to overall body health. Letting the negative in can affect your actions, so you are not making the progress you seek.
7. Edit Your Friends List
You are the people you spend time with. My closest friends are those who also like to work out and do active things. I don't spend a lot of time with drinking buddies. I have yoga buddies.
8. Simply Start
You can incorporate any of my tips by simply starting. Don't try to do too much at once. Promise yourself to try one thing a month until it becomes a habit. These are small steps that anyone can take. You have to try. I always tell my classes it is all in the try, and once you do it, you are on your way. Take the first step, and the rest will get easier.
