In today’s world, getting fit and staying fit are two of the greatest obstacles people face in staying both physically and mentally healthy. As statistics indicate, more and more people are losing their battle, which can be both emotionally discouraging and harmful to their health in the long run. And as anyone can attest, success requires equal parts desire and discipline. Charles River Editors’ Get Fit Now series provides readers with the information, advice, and plans necessary to win the battle to get fit and stay fit. 

At the center of the fitness battle is weight, and these days people are tipping the scales in ways they never wanted to. At the same time, everyone has an ideal physique in mind; many women desire that svelte figure with thin thighs, a tight stomach, and an hourglass shape, while men seek a body that’s muscular but not overly so, and very lean so that people can see their good muscle definition and washboard abs. 

Everyone knows what they want, but achieving it is a far different story, and for people starting at the beginning, figuring out how to get to the end can be a complete mystery. To get thin, you need a game plan for success. This guide gives you all the details you need to know in order to lose fat quickly but still stay safe while doing so, teaching you not only how to burn fat but keep it off for good. 

As with any fitness goal, getting thin is a byproduct of proper exercise and proper diet. As many have learned, it’s possible to lose weight, only to have it reappear as soon as they stop working out or stop dieting. But that’s now all part of your past. With this guide, you will learn key exercise strategies that you should be doing to help accelerate the rate of fat burning in the body, as well as go over everything that you need to know on the nutrition front to make things happen. In addition to explaining workout regimens and discussing diets, The Definitive Guide to Getting Slim includes further quick tips that some people often overlook entirely but greatly influence the rate of progress. 

By the time you’re through, you will have the confidence and knowledge to finally get the body you desire and put the past behind you.
