Part 2 of Top 10 Tips training you've ever heard
6- You can not Spot Check Fat
If I had a nickel for every time I heard this myth, I would be a very, very rich man.
The fact of the matter is that the grease goes and comes off, your body the way he wishes, not the way you want. The only way around this is targeted liposuction.
A short explanation, quite unscientific to make it. You are unable to work the fat from any specific area of your body because, well, you can not work fat. People mistake that old muscle to burn anything that magically removes fat proximally from where it burns. Those were your oblique abdominal being developed, and not love their side handles.
There are only two ways to lose those pounds, and they work best in tandem, diet and exercise.

7 - You need to supplement your diet
Due to the specific training enduroletes employ many, many supplements are basically useless or at best prohibitively expensive for endurance athletes. This is a very different game than, say, bodybuilding, where intensive supplementation is absolutely essential. The key is to understand the basics and use supplements that have a real demand for an endurance athlete.
It is quite difficult to achieve competitive success without proper supplementation. For example, you could easily replenish your carbohydrates on an Ironman course with white bread and Fig Newtons, but you would have to carry a backpack filled with the substance to ensure your caloric intake was adequate. It's much easier to fill with gel replacement carb / sodium.
If you are going to consider supplementing your diet, keep it simple. Think natural whey, soy protein caseinates, creatine monohydrate, electrolytes, BCAA, the recovery formulas, multivitamins etc.
But just because you take a vitamin, do not think you can jump on the green leafy vegetables. Remember, the multivitamin is supposed to supplement your diet, not replace part of it.

8 - Play the Mental Game, Too
The very best athletes in the world train not only their bodies but their minds to be successful in their sport. Why not take a page from their playbooks and do the same thing?
Viewing your objectives and visualize yourself achieving these goals. Imagine the emotions you might encounter during competition, and think how you can prepare. View possible setbacks and see how you will overcome.
Visualize your success. Now to give you an imaginary high-five.
Complete your tank glycogen after a training session with carbs (need I even say carbophobes?) To get ready for the recovery and your next workout, getting enough sleep each night, and drink more water you think you need. In fact, if you believe you've had enough water, drink more, because chances are you do not.
Periodize your training - you may not go, and you, and you, forever. You have to build in rest days or weeks of rest to allow your body to identify and adapt. Each season must also have an offseason.
Train. Overreach. Retrieve. Adapt. Repeat.

9 - Plan adequate time for recovery
You can not train 24/7, unfortunately. If we could, we would all stellar athletes. Between these shots that you put on your body, it needs time to recover.Complete your tank glycogen after a training session with carbs (need I even say carbophobes?)

10 - Set SMART Goals
It's pretty simple, just like the nifty little acronym that helps remind us of the proper goal setting, SMART. Make these specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.
Your goals should be all these things for you to succeed. Write them down if you have to, and keep track of your progress.
