Day 2 of the Perfect Day Fat Loss Routine

A Step-By-Step Guide to Getting Lean and Healthy

Losing fat and getting in great shape is not about perfection. It's about consistency. If you can follow the 80/20 rule and stay focused 80% of the time, you will see amazing results. This multi-part guide breaks down the 3 key "buckets" you need to fill each day to optimize fat loss.

Bucket #2 - Build and Maintain Muscle

The second bucket is focused on building lean muscle mass through strength training. This serves two purposes:

Helps you build a toned, athletic physique
Helps boost your metabolism so you burn more calories around the clock

Here are the key tips for an effective muscle-building workout:

Be Consistent with Your Training Split

Start with a 3-day per week total body or upper/lower body split
Focus on a split you can maintain long-term
No need to drastically alter your lifestyle to accommodate more gym time

Train with Intensity and Purpose

Workouts should feel challenging, not comfortable
Push yourself outside your comfort zone
Lift weights that are heavy enough to fatigue muscles in 8-12 reps
Lighten weight if needed to maintain perfect form

Determine the Best Time to Train

Schedule workouts when you know you'll follow through
For many, early morning workouts help cement the habit
If mornings don't work, find another consistent time
Key is to make it happen before life gets in the way
