We live in an extreme world where finding sound fitness advice is just as hard as getting in shape. It’s the endless marketing that has created this scenario.

Unfortunately, this has created a situation where you may not even know what the basic principles of getting fit are. Thus, it’s essential that you go back in time a little and learn the time and tested principles.

Thus, here are 5 forgotten exercise tips:

1. To burn fat activate a lot of muscle and use a lot of weight: Too many fitness establishments have gone the flashy gadget route and have their clients doing myriad exercises on bosu balls and other stability devices. While these have merit, they are not the best way to lose fat.

2. Best muscle mass builder: The squat is still king here. Now you may have heard this before, but I’m mentioning it again because there has been a recent trend towards using machines. So remember that the squat still hasn’t lost its throne.

3. Don’t press if your shoulder hurts: I’ve seen it time and gain-someone has just a little shoulder pain, but they keep on pressing and pressing. Eventually, they tear a rotator cuff tendon. And once this happens you can never be the same.

4. Best way to get results: Intensity is still the number one way to get faster results. While some exercise are more effective than others, intensity (i.e., hard work) is still the path to rapid change. So make sure to sprinkle your workouts with super sets, drop sets and ascending sets.

5. Early workouts still reign supreme: I guess there is some truth behind the saying, “the early bird gets the worm.” Although simplistic, the kernel of truth is that early workouts energize you the most and create the highest caloric burn.

You live in a day and age when getting back to the basics is the way to get back in shape. As a society, we have been led too far astray from the truth behind body transformations. So take action here today!
