It’s inevitable that we all will find ourselves at one point or another with little or no motivation to go to the gym, eat healthy, or even care about losing fat. It’s cyclic, and it’s normal to hit us several times a year.

You know what I’m talking about, it’s when you get the “heck with it, i just want to eat whatever, I don’t feel like doing anything” feeling.

Here are 4 things you can do to get out of the slump:

1) Go to the gym, but lower your intensity. Instead of going 100%, it’s okay to just “go through the motions.” Most of the time when we tire of working out, it’s because our body is telling us we need a break. The goal is to just get to the gym and do a few reps to stay in the habit.

2) Cheat. Sometimes being in the best shape of your life calls for everything to be perfect. 100% intensity in the gym. Eating clean 7-10 days at a time. Hitting cardio every day. Well, it’s time to cut back. Take 1 meal a day, use it as a cheat meal until you get your motivation back. Don’t splurge all day long every day, but do it once a day. Also take 1 day per week, and eat whatever you want that day.

Within a week or so, the “break” will energize you to come back more focused than you were before.

3) If you’re doing cardio everyday. Stop. Drop it down to twice per week. Give your body a break, that’s what it wants.

4) Put a deadline on this “down” period. No longer than 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, start increasing your intensity at the gym. Start taking cheat meals out of your daily food consumption. At week 3, start ramping up your cardio a bit.

By this time your body will have gotten enough rest. You’ll be emotionally charged, and ready to hit it full speed with 110% focus.

Everyone needs a break every now and then. If you add ‘active’ break periods to your life every 6-8 weeks, you’ll less likely fall off the wagon for months or even years at a time, and it’ll be less emotionally & physically draining.

Everyday it’s best to start your day off with a great breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. Here’s just a few of my favorite breakfast meals:

1) Egg White Omlete w. Jalepeno & Bell Peppers: 7 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 1 whole Jalepeno Pepper chopped, 1/2 Bell Pepper Chopped

2) 1 Full cup of Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 1 Cup Low Sugar Flavored Yogurt, 13 Almonds

3) Prograde Lean plus 1 Banana

4) Prograde Lean plus 1/2 cup of Oats

Breakfast is one of the most important meals as found in the Ab Workout to Lose Belly Fat Manual. It kick starts your metabolism & increases your energy to start the day.

Don’t leave Home without it ;)
