Effective 12-Week Gym Training – Nutrition Guide
Achieving gym effectiveness isn't just about hitting the gym and working out. It requires many factors, as we'll delve into in this section.
First, watch this video for a quicker understanding of the workout schedule (I'll summarize below for those who don't understand).
Setting Clear Goals
Having goals in your workout is essential for effective striving. You'll need to decide your goals for the next 12 weeks and write them down.
I can show you how to safely lose 1-1.5 kg of fat in a week. Losing any amount of weight can cause muscle loss, so we'll need to exercise to compensate for the lost fat and increase both calorie burning and body strength. You'll be thrilled with your results, guaranteed.
Tracking Progress
Starting now, you need to keep track of your progress by taking a photo before starting your workout, giving you something to compare with in your 12th week.

Measuring Excess Body Fat
We'll measure various body metrics to track fat loss progress, including the circumference of 3 key areas, along with body weight, to calculate the amount of fat you've lost.
Every Monday morning, you'll re-measure these areas to check progress. Use a Body Fat calculator to assess your fat percentage.
To determine your 'lean' mass (also known as Clean weight), you can use the percentage of body fat and multiply it by your weight, then subtract the result from your weight. For example, if you measure 30% body fat and weigh 80kg, your lean mass would be 56kg.
Also, don't forget to note down the details of the weights you lift to track your progress. Seeing it increase will motivate you further.

What to Eat Each Week While Gymming?
Effective gym training must always be accompanied by nutrition. Nutrition plays a crucial role in determining whether you can lose fat and gain muscle. Therefore, limit high-calorie foods and increase your protein intake. Here, I'll focus on chicken breast, so check out articles on low-fat chicken breast recipes to keep things interesting.
However, if you're getting tired of chicken breast every day, you can invest in Nutrex's ISOFIT Whey Protein Isolate. This Whey type is delicious, high-quality, and reasonably priced.
