I have a two- part series I’d like you to spend a minute or two looking at.
You don’t have to watch the whole clips, but a minute or two gives you the
best idea of my point.
In my opinion, these type of bodies are simply the best the planet. When I think about
it there’s really no comparison. They have lean muscle, they’re tone, no ugly unwanted body fat.
You never hear about them all of the sudden disease or dying at an early age (heart attack, diabetes, stroke etc). And plain and simple, they look ripped. Both the men and women athletes look incredibly sculpted. Almost look like action figures.
You see the cuts and separation and definition between each muscle group. You see the abs ripple. You see the striations in their thighs. You see the core strength when they perform. Their butts are rock hard, arms are lean and toned. Bicep bulge, the back looks defined with smaller waist. These are the ultimate bodies. Who are they? Sprinters not distance runners but sprinters.
This is 60, 100-200m sprinters Really the bodies are still in the lean good looking stager at 400m. Yep, it’s Olympic time and the world’s best are getting ready for Bejing.
Hands down, these are the best bodies on the planet. Look for yourself. The lean muscle tissue, they’re not stiff nor bulky they’re flexible they look like they can move in multiple directions. Posture is never messed up.
So how is it that you can get a body similar to them?
What type of workouts do they do? What about their eating patterns?
This article will be split into brief series. We’ll take a look into the workouts and bodies of sprinter and a distance runner we’ll examine the best bodies and what they have to do to perform at the top.
Lets 1st take a look at what the heck these people to eat to get these amazing bodies.
Implement some of these 4 principles and you can dramatically shift and alter your own body composition and burn fat like crazy too in no time.
1.) They Eat Often. Because they look to perform at the best, they know they need to fuel their bodies often. Skipping meals simply is not an option. They know if they skip meals they run the risk of slowing their metabolism and gaining a bit of fat. They eat meals every 2-4 hrs. This means they’re probably eating 4-8 meals a day. Constantly eating. In fact, if they don’t wake in the morning hungry, they know they’re probably not eating as often as they should.
2.) They Eat the Right Meals at the Right Times. There’s no doubt they eat carbs, but the timing of the meals is what helps them to have their six pack and have lean look. They eat protein at every meal. I’m sure it in any form. Animal protein, plant protein, dairy protein, or a protein powder. They definitely know the importance of keeping lean muscle and helping to repair their bodies. They also will choose to eat healthy fats because they know their body desperately needs it.
You probably won’t see them in the buffet lines often, nor hitting up the starbucks, krispy kreme for breakfast and fast food joints. Have you ever seen an Olympic or Big time College team stopping at one of the restaurants for food? I’m not talking about highschool, I’m talking about the athletes as their profession. The ones who have a chance to qualify to be the the best in the world?
I’d imagine most of them may have sweet tooth at times too. They probably use a realistic approach like the 90/10 rule or the 80/20 rule. This is where you eat clean 90% of the time and 10% give yourself time to enjoy other foods that are contrary to your fat loss goal. And the closer they get to the competition, I’m sure they push their cravings to the side and do the necessary things to help them be at their best.
3.) Eat in portions not calories. Do to the training and amount of rest that’s required of the world’s best athletes, I’m sure they may have an idea of how many calories they need to eat, but I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts they don’t count every calorie they put in their mouth. They’re bodies are on auto pilot. They pay close attention to the communication signals their stomachs send to their brains that enough is enough. The meals are set in portions to help them not to overeat. After all, being a pound or two overweight can be the difference of 10th’s of second which could keep them eliminated from qualifying.
4.) Staying Hydrated. This is a vital portion for these athletes. After all, simply not being hydrated can lead to huger, muscle cramps, fat storage, low back pain in the spinal column and discs and pain in the joints/arthritis. Therefore, drink no less than 8-10 cups per water a day and probably up to a gallon of water or day to make sure they’re hydrated on days of training. They have water before their meals, during their meal, and periodically through out the day. Now don’t be fooled by the commercials that these athletes are just drinking pepsi and sports drinks all day long (drinks with high fructose corn syrup). Their main source of drink is H2O.
We use this exact format in Hotlanta Bodies Fit Camp, a Fitness Boot Camp in Atlanta for our Rapid Fat Loss Program. This is the Eternal Eating portion. After all, the eating portion has been known to be anywhere from 60-80% of the results you get. You can go through the most rugged form of training and if you don’t properly refuel your body, you will not get the results your looking for. Following along with these simple rules and training and melt fat right off your body. You too can have the body of your dreams shredding an incredible 2-3lbs of bodyfat per week. This is a scientifically proven results based training program.
Just take a quick look at the World’s Fastest Man Tyson Gay (Fastest man ever to record 9.68 just last week). Also look at all the other bodies of the men he’s competing against. You don’t have to watch the whole race, just look at the bodies lanes 1-8. Right below I’ve included both the men and women so you can have idea of of what the best body types look like. http://tinyurl.com/4wznwl (Tyson Gay)

You may not be a mesomorph (naturally muscular) by nature, you may be an endomorph (natural born big boned meaty person) or possibly an ectomorph (long thin limbs) train your body like an athlete and you can have an athletic look. This is no joke, you can really have a six pack and melt layers of flab from your body doing these things.
Lastly, I’ll leave you with a look of a young women who is a distance runner. Her name is Sally Kipyego. She is an upcoming distance runner. Just a few weeks ago, she competed in the College National Championships and literally lapped the other girls in the 5000m. Pretty much every race she has to compete with herself because others are no where close to her to push her. I am completely fascinated by her drive for being the best at what she does. http://tinyurl.com/4pmmj6 (Sally Kipyego)
However, just take a look at these two ladies body types. Even though they are in the very lean stage, it’s too slim, they almost look frail. I don’t look at them as strong looking individuals because of the lack of muscle. I don’t know about you, but when I look at distance runners, I can see their bones. Or their posture is so bad it looks as if the strong wind may blow them right over. Just think of the last time you saw a person running for distance on the pavement (oh by the way, this is not something I’d recommend you don’t do). It’s almost as if their bodies are crying in agony from all the pounding they do on such a hard surface.
Yet, the body’s they have are never considered the ideal look.
Tomorrow we’ll look at some of the exercises and workouts they do to help them get these bodies.
Yours in Fat Loss,
Look Better Naked!
