How Do You Get Super Lean?

What does it take to be super lean? 

There's a lot to consider when you're figuring out your fitness goals, but one of the most important questions is: “How much do you really want it? Is it worth giving up parts of your life to get there?”

Or, why you came to this article: Is it worth it to get super lean? And what do you have to do to accomplish it?

That's where this “Get Lean” graphic comes in.

If you're on a quest for abs you're certainly not alone. People are Googing “how to get a lean and toned body” daily. But, it's important to note that a majorly defined 6 pack isn't always a marker of optimal health.

It can be a little hard to visualize what kind of tradeoffs you're looking at when you choose your goals, but luckily the folks over at Precision Nutrition published an *awesome* infographic and I'm sharing it with you! 

I’m currently studying extra hard to get my L1 Certification with Precision Nutrition and I've got to tell you—their materials are top notch. Their textbook, curriculum, and support is all equally as good as what I received during my undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology. SO, needless to say, I am PSYCHED about this extra certification and geeking out on the regular so that I can pass along all that awesome info to YOU! 

Make sure you check out the pictures and guidelines below so you can "keep it real" with yourself while you're figuring out what your fitness goals are, and what's really "worth it" to YOU. Whether you’re a male or female looking to get a lean body, find out what it takes to get lean.
