In the discipline of tae kwon do, the Korean martial art known for it's powerful kicks, tae means to trample or foot, kwon means fist, and do means way. In its simplest form it is the way of the hand and foot. Natural Bodybuilding is similar to this martial art in its regards to discipline, perseverance, and inner strength. These are the three of the tenets of tae kwon do to achieve success. Miss one of the three characteristics and chances are you will not achieve a successful natural bodybuilding lifestyle. Worst yet, you will not receive the benefits that this way of life can bring.

Learning a new way to eat is one of the prerequisites needed for success. You will develop a nutritional habit to provide fuel for demanding workouts and bodybuilding, also protein to rebuild muscle fiber. You will learn of ways to increase your nutritional energy. An example would be to introduce flaxseed to your diet by adding it to salads, vegetables and your morning oatmeal. Flaxseed is naturally high in Omega-3 oil, which is an excellent long enduring energy source. Discipline will be needed to reinforce this prerequisite. To avoid ...
... junk food that is high in fat and refined sugar can be very challenging, especially with it being so prevalent in today's modern society.

To bring out the muscularity that you will have developed, you will need to do cardiovascular training. The bodybuilding jargon for this transformation is cutting up or ripping. This type of training not only helps burn off the muscle blurring fat but also increase energy by developing the lungs to process faster. It will also help you recover faster from a muscle building workout by forcing additional blood to move throughout your body by way of the circulatory system. This fresh blood will carry out the residuals in your muscles that remain from training. Perseverance is needed to pursue cardiovascular training for most individuals. Getting out of a warm bed in the early morning to go running can be quite tough even for the most dedicated.

The one item that hasn't been covered as of yet is muscle building or bodybuilding. It is a game of mind over matter. Inner Strength will become a major player in this part of the equation. To endure the lactic acid build-up that occurs when going deep into the pump can be quite overbearing and yet at the same time exhilarating. Because there are so many different muscle-building theories out there it can be quite overwhelming trying to decide what to believe. This decision can be difficult even for a veteran bodybuilder. A lifter must develop a skeptical outlook at different programs and judge if the training programs are worthwhile.

The Three Tenets and The Three Catalysts Relationship.
The three tenets; discipline, perseverance, and inner strength are associated with the three catalysts for bodybuilding development. The three catalysts I used for optimum muscle development are listed below.
Nutrition needs (discipline)
Fat-burning cardiovascular training (perseverance)
And muscle transfiguration (inner strength)

Like a circle, all three intertwine with each other. Each one depends on the next one for success.
