7 things you need to remember to carve a figure
Table of Contents
1. Identify the target
The first thing you need to do is to set a realistic target. You may find that the level of fat tissue is low enough that it's actually impossible to carve a figure. Then you should first build muscle mass and then reduce the fat mass, which will allow you to expose the built muscle.2. Prepare a training plan
A properly programmed training program is the foundation of a well-executed figure-sculpting process. Load exercises allow you to maintain as much muscle mass as possible, which is especially important during a period of fat reduction. When the body is in a calorie deficit, in addition to fat tissue, it also loses muscle mass.3. Follow a well-thought-out diet
A balanced diet with adequate calories is also an important aspect. When building muscle mass, you need to put in excess energy, in turn to reduce fat tissue and thus expose the built-up muscles, energy deficit is needed. Unfortunately, many people overestimate the energy expenditure associated with physical activity, especially strength training. You need to carefully calculate your energy needs and maintain them both during training and non-training days.4. Remember the watering
Water constitutes 60% of the human body and affects the balance of all the cells of the body. Inadequate hydration prevents proper digestion and absorption of components. In addition, water provides water-electrolyte and acid-base balance. Dehydration disrupts the processes responsible for thermoregulation and also reduces exercise capacity.5. Take care of your post-training physical activity
Sculpting a figure is nothing more than a reduction of fat tissue, which aims to expose already built-up muscles. An underestimated form of movement that can play an important role in this process is NEAT (post-training physical activity). NEAT is all activities performed outside of a set training plan such as shopping, walking, cleaning, or climbing stairs. With spontaneous physical activity, you can generate an energy deficit of about 200,000 kcal per day.6. Do not forget about regeneration
Many people want to achieve their goal as quickly as possible, so they decide to exercise every day, or even several times a day. This is the quickest way not to carve a figure, but to train! Rest is just as important as diet and exercise. Especially during intense training, you need to make sure you get enough sleep.7. A positive attitude is the foundation
It's also worth asking yourself, why am I doing this? The answer will certainly be an additional motivation. We need to be patient and not treat the whole process as a painful duty. It should be a conscious change in lifestyle that, in addition to changing the figure, will certainly result in improved health and fitness.8. Summary
The process of sculpting a figure requires a lot of time, dedication and patience. You can't forget to prepare a proper action plan. It's also worth taking care of post-training physical activity and regeneration. These components are as important as diet and exercise.
