Body recomposition, also known as "recomp," is a term used to describe a change in body composition where you simultaneously lose body fat and gain lean muscle mass. The goal is to achieve a more defined and toned physique.
To successfully carry out body recomposition, you need to focus on two main aspects: nutrition and exercise.
1. Nutrition:
- Caloric Intake: Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and daily caloric needs. Consume around maintenance-level calories to avoid excessive fat gain or muscle loss.
- Macronutrient Distribution: Prioritize protein intake to support muscle growth and recovery. Consume a moderate amount of healthy fats, and include complex carbohydrates for energy.
- Caloric Tracking: Monitor your food intake with a food diary or a mobile app to make sure you're consuming the right amount of calories and macronutrients.
2. Exercise:
- Resistance Training: Incorporate strength training exercises to build and maintain muscle mass. Focus on compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press. Aim for 2-3 strength training sessions per week.
- Cardiovascular Exercise: Include regular aerobic exercise to support fat loss and overall health. Engage in activities like jogging, cycling, swimming, or HIIT workouts. Aim for 2-3 cardio sessions per week.
- Progressive Overload: Continuously challenge your muscles by gradually increasing the weight, intensity, or duration of your workouts over time.
Keep in mind that body recomposition is a gradual process and requires consistency, patience, and discipline. It is also essential to prioritize adequate rest and recovery to allow your body to adapt and grow.
