  1. 3 brief (10 minute) workouts space out over the day can be as or more effective than one single 30 minute workout
  2. Walking is a great fat burning exercise. Focus on DEEP breathing when you're walking to fully oxygenate your blood. More oxygen=more burn
  3. Once you've worked up to 100 Body Weight squats in a day, add dumbbells for resistance, and lower your squats back down to 50 or 75
  4. Squats are a fantastic travel exercise. Using your own body weight, you can do them in your hotel room or by the pool
  5. Looking to bust a fitness plateau? Pick one exercise, lower weight to 75% of 1 Rep Max and do it for 10 reps. Rest & repeat for 45 mins
  6. The Pushup is an all round perfect bodyweight exercise. It builds chest, tricep and core strength. Pushups can be done anywhere, anytime.
  7. Post workout meal should consist of primarily complex carbohydrates to resupply glycogen stores. Eat within 20 minutes of workout finish
  8. For best gains in size and strength, allow for a full 48 hours between training sessions. This lets your body use all available HGH
  9. When beginning weight training, build ligament and tendon strength first, using lighter weights. Build the foundation for fitness first
  10. Each time you're exercising, you should shoot for a personal best (PB). Always try and beat your last reps or weight on a given exercise
  11. Exercising more than 45 minutes at a shot is counter productive. Get in, get the job done, and get out.
  12. Deadlifts force your body to secrete higher amounts of anabolic substances such as testosterone and growth hormone.
