2. Nutrition : You can spend n numbers of hours in gym but it wouldn't effect your physique much if you do not watch the food you are eating. Instead of eating 3 big meals you would be better off with consuming 6-8 small meals through out the day. you should make of constant effort for eating protein with every meal and limiting the amount of carbs through sugars and grains.

3. Lifestyle change: Good Physique is all about lifestyle change, A constant effort should be made for improving your lifestyle like planning all your meals well in advance, preparing food in home rather than eating out in restaurants and never missing a planned workout.

4. Stop Complaining about time: All you need is bare minimum 45 minutes 3 times a week to get in good shape, now do not say you don't have that much time to spare.
