Don Saladino is one of the busiest fitness trainers on the planet. His high-level talent in training individuals lead to big results - so much so that he's become a go-to celebrity trainer for A-list stars like Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. A big factor in making a celebrity look like a superhero is through dieting them down to look lean and shredded. So what kind of key advice can we take from Saladino's methods to help those out there struggling with weight loss? In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Don Saladino breaks down the ultimate tactics to lose weight and get shredded.
For a lot of people, building muscle mass is the fun part. You get to eat more and slam heavy weights as your muscles start to blow up. But building mass is only half the battle in looking muscular. To look truly impressive, you want to lower your body fat percentage and start looking shredded. That's when the massive muscles really start to look monstrous on your physique.
Unfortunately, for many out there - weight loss is the hardest element in staying fit. Literally millions of people struggle with this everyday. There are a lot of tactics out there ranging from diets, to cardio routines, and more. But what actually works and what should you ignore? That's where Don Saladino steps in.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that cardio is the key to losing weight. The reality is that the proper nutritional diet is the fastest way to see results. Properly balancing your calories types of food can bring massive weight loss results - much faster than the few hundred calories that cardio cuts out in a half hour or so. Cardio is still an important factor in overall health - especially when it comes to your heart and lungs. So don't skip out completely just yet.
Don Saladino explains that the best tactic is to rotate between different training methods. Weight and resistance training is actually an important part of weight loss. A big mistake that most people make is skipping the weights and only do cardio. That will only lead to frustration and slow results.
Saladino suggests rotating between resistance training, medium interval cardio, and high intensity interval training (or HIIT). Mix that with a proper diet and the results will start to come in shockingly fast. Weight loss won't happen over night - but you won't find yourself struggling to see a pound drop off the scale.
This isn't necessarily an easy solution. It still takes hard work and consistency. Eating right and putting the effort in for training nearly every day is the only solution to getting trim and shredded. So first thing you need to do is look in the mirror. Are you stuck on losing weight because your not pushing hard enough?
If the motivation is there - Don Saladino's advice will ensure that you're maximizing your time for the best results. Whether you want to drop a few pounds or transform into a shredded beast, make sure to listen to Saladino's words closely. They will help you go from frustrated to empowered in no time.
