Intensive Calisthenics
Sep 3rd, 2007 by Dan
I have to thank Matt or now Matthew Furey (www.mattfurey.com) for todays exercise regimen. His Combat Conditioning program has brought me back to an intensive exercise routine. When I first discovered that slight amount of weight in the presence of love handles creeping up on me, I went searching for exercises to help me out and unfortunately my life style did not allow for being able to spend a long time which brought me to the breathing exercises which I share for free. Well it just wasn’t enough, of course I had a great response I just felt like I was missing something. I had great internal strength but my external strength was lacking until I found Matt’s site. Definitely take a look at Combat Conditioning it is definitely well worth it. (BTW, if you notice their is no affiliate link on this site for Matt’s program. I am not an affiliate I just firmly believe in what he is offering is good.) On to todays program -
7:00 AM - breathing exercises
7:08 AM - down to the “gym” - jump rope for 1 minute
7:10 AM - 1 minute of Hindu Squats rapidly then 30 secs rest then 1 minute Hindu Push ups rapidly then 30 secs rest and back to Hindu Squats, repeat 3 times
7:20 AM - over-exerted myself today, so I do 5 minutes of stretching quads, hamstrings
7:26 AM - 1 minute to do as many chin ups as possible, 1 minute of v-ups (modified sit ups), 1 minute of lat pull ups, 1 minute of leg raises all with 30 secs in between for rest.
7:33 AM 1 minute of a cool down skipping rope calmly and breathing deeply.
7:35 - shower and start my day; while in the shower I continue to do deep breathing and controlled breathing.
