Lean muscle fast!

By combining cardio and weights training you can build lean muscle quickly and still keep control of your weight. By following 3 simple steps you can get rapid results towards your lean muscle goals.

1. Take your protein shake before your workout, preferably 1hour - 30 mins before you enter the gym. This will allow the protein to get to work throughout the workout instead of after it ad will give a leaner body as it reduces the muscle damage and so leads to strength gains without the extra bulk.

2. Train with the weights first and to get optimum results focus on only one muscle group e.g arms or chest, per day this allows you to train more often and will give you more results faster.

3. Finally you want to complete each workout with a short, but intense cardio session. This will drastically increase your metabolic rate and burn of an extra 200- 300 calories leaving you with a more defined figure. Also it is scientifically proven that cardio after weights training will improve your muscle gains as it increases the blood flow to all of your body and so will carry more oxygen and necessary nurients to the muscles, leading to more muscle gains.

All of this will not only help to build muscle, but will keep you lean and defined especially when you consider the cardio at the end. This will increase your metabolic rate so that even for a few hours after the gym you will still be burning of some extra calories.
