Do You Want to Be as Fit as Tim Tebow?

While some people are more interested in the name of his girlfriend, I’ll satisfy the curiosity of those who want to be healthy, look good and have muscles.  Tim Tebow has been the first college athlete that appeared on the cover of Men's Fitness magazine.  Tim Tebow is an American football quarterback for Gator, Florida.  How did he become so strong, so fast, and so big?

"That young man is a physical specimen ... He seems to embody what you want in a young athlete. So the story is not just for Gator fans but for everyone to get to know him,” said Men's Fitness Editor-in-Chief, Roy Johnson, to the Orlando Sentinel.

Here are 6 tips to become like Tim Tebow:

Take Proteins

They have the highest thermic effect.  Eat fish, red meat, eggs, poultry, and dairy.  You need 1g protein per each pound of body-weight daily.  This is one of the solutions for building and maintaining muscles.

Work out

Lift weights – strength training is the second solution for building and maintaining muscles. Try to add weights so you won’t leave your body to get comfortable.  Strength means muscle.  Calisthenics like pull-ups, push-ups, and reverse crunches shouldn’t be missed in workout routine.

Forget all about skinny men

Foods dense in calories and milk will help you gain weight.  You may consider Popeye’s recipe along with oats, pasta, nuts, and raw rice.

Weights and caution

Machines are not your best option when it comes to lifting weights.  Use barbells for the heaviest weights and dumbbells for other exercises.  Free weights help you control and balance the weight.

Burn fat by eating more

Intense workout routines need energy and recovered muscles.  You’ll lose fat by eating more frequently.  Try to eat at every 3 hours, 6 meals/day including a post-workout meal.  Breakfast is also very important.  Proteins and carbs help your muscles to grow and recover.

All your body should be included in the routine

Don’t forget your legs.  You need to work out each part of your body.  Recovery is needed too.  Your muscles grow when you rest.  Get your 8 hours sleep.  Do you have a casual lifestyle?  Then a post-workout nap will be welcomed.

Of course, your workout program shouldn’t be chaotic.  Plan it and decide about the exercises you’ll do on specific days.  Most important is to do each exercise properly.
