If you are, then you are about to embark on a life changing journey and learn the 4 rules that allowed me to easily lose the stubborn unwanted pounds of fatty tissue that we could all live without! Take a short time-out from your busy day and have a read over this article to discover all about how you can help yourself become a better you...

Rule Number 1 - Build Muscle.
First up, gaining lean muscle is far and away one of the important exercises you need to do with regards to losing weight and getting healthy. You would be forgiven for thinking it's purely down to cardio as this is what most of us believe. Indeed cardio training is really significant, however building muscle will provide you with many more amazing benefits! You'll speed up your metabolism as well as burning off additional calories and fatty tissue. However, the fat burning doesn't stop there, the calories will continue to burn off EVEN AFTER you have finished your training session, as much as 24+ hours later.

Secondly, it's important to note that mammoth sized muscles are not required here! You only need to tone your body to reap the rewards.

Thirdly, any kind of resistance workout will be beneficial, however the sessions that will show you the fastest results are the ones that work out numerous groups of muscles at the same time. This could either be body-weight training sessions or if you prefer, training sessions using standard weights which can include squats and bench pressing.

Rule Number 2 - Cardio.
For cardio, my personal favorite that I strongly suggest you do, is training sessions that will increase your metabolic rate. The most suitable cardio I often recommend for this is high intensity, of which there are 2 kinds, 'interval' and 'standard'.

An example using 'interval' training is to go out for a light jog for around 2 minutes then to sprint as quickly as your legs will allow for around 30 seconds and repeat the process till you have been active for a full 20 minutes. This really is a great way to get started and once you get comfortable with those intervals, gradually increase your times for a fantastic training session!

Circuit training could be used as an example for 'standard' training. Also applying body-weight exercise routines or simply fast paced skipping or sprinting are others.

The benefits that heightened intensity cardio gives you are, a much faster workout taking up less of your day, it's more enjoyable, you preserve your muscle mass using these exercises and you'll see the results a lot quicker, and lots more!

Rule Number 3 - What To Drink Each Day.
What we drink each day is more important to your body than we care to think. The fluids we take in plays a massive part in either assisting you in losing weight and unwanted fat, or gaining weight and unwanted fat.

The fluids I strongly suggest you save yourself from is too much alcohol, too much caffeine, fizzy drinks, and all varieties of fruit juice with added sugar. The fluids I strongly recommend that you do take in are, ample fresh water which we can NEVER get enough of (at least 2 liters EVERY day, and even more when exercising), any type of tea (which has adequate antioxidants), a moderate level of coffee (with no added calories such as sugar, cream etc), and also all the natural vegetable and fruit juices you can get your hands on (with no additives).

Rule Number 4 - Hit The Sack.
This is the most disregarded and forgotten of them all. I cannot stress this enough, sleep is your friend. Thinking we can get by on 4 or 5hours per night is just not true. If you want to reach your goal, you have to let your body rest and recharge in order to tackle whatever you have planned for it the following day!!

Enjoy and good luck guys.
