How do I get lean muscle?

If you hear someone say they want to ‘shred’ or ‘get toned’ they are talking about lean muscle. Lean muscle is muscle with very little fat around it, creating a more defined muscle shape (less padding!). If you want ripped (visible) abdominal muscles or bulging biceps you need to build the muscle underneath through weights AND maximise visible definition through a strict diet. There is no such thing as spot training, it takes low overall body fat to achieve muscle definition and show off ‘lean muscle”.

The secret to looking toned…

The quickest way to look toned is… dehydration. Bodybuilders and models often achieve their idealised look through very brief periods of dehydration for competition or a photo shoot before going back to more realistic water and food consumption.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DEHYDRATION.

Save yourself the headache and false impression of fitness- choose a path of moderation to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. We can tailor you a program of personal training and group fitness classes to have your muscles working hard to build that lean tissue complemented with cardio to burn fat. Drink as much water as you like!

Feeling good is better than looking good (and you can have both).

Forget the artificial staging, complicated studio lighting and manufactured perfection of athletic magazines and Instagram hotties. You could look the same with a photographer, a bottle of bronzer and some editing software. At Recharged we keep it real with fun workouts for everybody, every week so your head, heart and body are in sync. Feeling good about the positive things you do with your body will naturally lead to more motivation to keep up great habits. Join our positivity revolution!
