Old School Advice

Right now, I'm sitting at home in my office working away and cranking some old school tunes.

Now, get this, I am listening to the very first tape that I ever purchased back in the day.

Yep, I remember the day like it wasn't the 22 years ago that it was!

It was at Kmart Penrith and it was a night time so it must've been Thursday night shopping.

I was in year 3 and was excited to buy my first real bit of music that wasn't kids stuff.

Can you believe that a cassette tape has actually lasted 22 years and still plays and why on earth can I remember a random memory like that but forget to email someone back about something?

So what was it and am I embarrassed to admit it?

Dire Straits Brothers in Arms and no I'm not embarrassed!

Still a great album.

What's the point of me rambling on about old school music.

Well training advice is like the old classic music.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Meaning the more the latest bands or in the purpose of this blog, the latest training and fat loss advice and fads that come along, the more and more we go back to the way that it was done in the old days.

For the most part.

Thankfully we don't do (or if you are you better stop right now) full sit ups that hurt your back and we don't wear the spandex multi coloured fluro gym gear with leg warmers anymore

In the same breath it really isn't considered that cool to be listening to some of the tacky 80's music like Bros and a bunch of other bad bands whose names escapes me.

The one thing they did do right in the old days was training without the BS that comes with training these days.

They used weights and they lifted.

They did squats, deadlifts and other weights exercises that should be the foundatiuon for any fat loss program.

They did push ups, chin ups and other cool body weight exercises that are essential if you are looking for fat loss results.

Let's even go back to the early 1900's and the Russians were using Kettlebells even then.

Yep, the Russians were well ahead of us westerners with the training game even way back when our grandparents were being born.

So the moral of the story today is don't listen to the latest training fads that come through like training on the vibration machine 3000 or the ab king pro.

Stick to what was done in the past and will be done in the next 100 years.

Multi-joint exercises are king when it comes to fat loss and getting the body that you deserve.
