I’ve done it, and today seems to be yet another one of those days.

Unplanned, and in the flow, and thats how most of my days are. Hehe.

The only planning I do, believe it or not, is before Igo to bed (in bed) where I VISUALIZE.

And right after waking up – writing my dreams down (which no, I dont over analyze. I hardly even look at what I wrote throughout the day).

And yet, my output in every which way (if you’re on the other site, not THAT way hehe, but I’ll write about that as well soon. LOL).

I’m sure I will!

Anyway ...

Ideas beget ideas.

I’m not sure who said it, but it was a “somebody” that once said his books were written in the margins of other books.

Anyhow.

One exercise a day or workout.

IT’s a great idea ... sometimes.

I do not recommend you do this often, but sometimes, it happens.

And I’ve written in 0 Excuses Fitness about how difficult it is to achieve TRUE MASTERY over any exercise, havent I?

Yes, I have!

And these one exercise workouts push you further along that road to mastery which truth be told you’ll never master.

I won’t.

No-one will!

Thats the beauty of exercise. Always new peaks to conquer (if we’re talkin gbodyweight exercise, not bozo like pump, tone, grunt and gruff and the lot at the ole gym shym bim (bo)).

And one exercise routines could be you doing JUST pull-ups and noting else.

Or ONE type of pushups.

Perhaps just handstands throughout the day.

Or, perhaps just climb hills three times a day!

Pick one exercise – and really, really FOCUS On it!

Key to making this work?

Two keys – 1) the same thing that makes ALL my workouts WORK.

KISS.

Not “kiss” the workouts or your partner, even if it’s Jassy, hehe.

Keep it simple. Sweet. Short. Brutally short and effective!

And two?

Do MULTIPLE workouts throughout the day.

Again, I dont recommend doing this type of thing all the tim e- we all know, for instance, what happens when you pound out nothing but pull-ups for ages, and flop on thy FACE when it comes to pushups, hehe.

I do!

But sometimes, it’s worth it.

Try it – let me know!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – The alter I use for one other site keeps coming to mind. Hmm!

Have you ever heard the famous Zig Ziglar saying “you need a check up from the NECK UP?”

Basically thats his way of saying that “the brain is where it’s all at!”

If you’re making less sales – chances are your THINKING is what needs to be changed – first, and quick!

If you’re not performing in bed – same thing!

If you feel “blah” all the time - - same thing!

And while what he was saying was related more to motivation and sales, the fact is that your mind controls pretty much every result and outcome in your life – fitness included.

Enter “shake things up from the inside out” – or “tune up from the inside out”.

My wife’s numerous stomach issues, for instance, have ONE easy solution.

You on this list know what it is, but of course, when she’s told about it, she doesnt listen. Hehe.

How could her husband ever be “right” on “anything” hehe.

But really ...

Tons of doctor visits down the road, bazillions of medicines down the road, a “colonscopy” or something she had done, and plenty of other tests ..the problem never went away.

And recurs all the time.

Indigestion. Stomach pain. Extreme “flatulence”. And so forth. 

And the solution is simple – exercise, yes, but exercis ethat SHAKES things up from the inside out.

Lest you think I know nothing about this, think again.

Back in the day yours truly suffered from IBS – irritable bowel syndrome.

My (and this is what a medical report said) “colon was overloaded” most of the time.

I had extreme “gas”. Had to go to the bathroom unexpectedly at places you’d never think. And so forth.

All normal for those of you that are suffering from IBS as my wife is (except she calls it different things) ...

.... and as I report on the Corrugated Core page, I’m glad to report that for years, I’ve been completely free of IBS or any related stomach issues.

This afternoon, my wife made the comment to me about “how could I tolerate so much spice”.

Well, I couldn’t back in the day. Yes, I loved spicy food always, but the aftermath was quite something else.

Now?

Like water off a duck’s back – or tummy. 

Anyway, I told my wife this.

“There’s a simple solution, honey. Shake things up”.

“What do you mean”, she asked.

“Well, what happens when you exercise”, I asked. And without waiting for her to answer, I told her. “Your tummy shakes!”

She shook her head. 

Indigant!

How dare you, she said. I’m not fat!

“OK, OK”, I said hastily. Even someone with a 12 or 15 pack would feel his “insides” shaking as he exercised.

No reaction.

Enough said, hehe.

But point again is this – workouts like I promote that SHAKE things up ensure two things.

One, better blood flow and increased T – and all the benefits you know about, but with regard to what I’m saying here, #2?

The CORE and all the organs SHAKE.

And it’s THIS “shaking” that really improves the functioning of your internal organs, massaging,s tretching and SQUEEZING them naturally, and getting rid of bloat, IBS, constipation and everything else.

Hindu squats, for example. Impossible to do ‘em and not feel it all “move”!

Jumping rope. A prime, prime shaker and mover!

And that eternal favorite – sprints.

So as you see, this ain’t really an advertisement for Corrugated Core bro.

But those exercises DO work the core the best – and in the privacy of your own living room.

Of course, a lot of the others get the job done.

Take your pick my friend!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Oh, how could I forget PUSHUPS? Another great core movement – check out the different types of pushups that will BLAST your core into a NEW one almost right here – Pushup Central.

In 0 Excuses Fitness, my other writings and I believe (specifically) the book on PUSHUPS ... I wrotte about control.

Sorry, Mastery.

MASTERY of an exercise is something even the greats willr eadily admit to that it’s nigh on impossible to achieve!

Lets take the humble fingertip pushup, by itself an ASS kicker for most people.

Bruce Lee used to pump out hundreds of these on two fingers, and sets of 50 on the thumb all day long.

Whew.

And even HE would tell you there is ALWAYS more!

For instance, what about a legs elevated pushup done that way?

OR a handstand? Not even the pushup, just the handstand!

Or any of the other variants I teach you in Pushup Central.

Same thing for pull-ups, squats, dips, and what not 

(Dips being a great exercise I’ve addressed in Shoulders like Boulders, but I might put out a course someday specifically on dips).

(And on ONE arm workouts – Charles – yes – that is on the way!)

Now, CONTROL.

How much CONTROL do you have over your exercises is key to improvement, and the road to mastery or as close as you’ll get – and superior health, strength and fitness.

The exercises in “Isometric Training” (my latest book on it) do a fine, fine job of addressing this!

Let me tell you, if you get up into my favorite “after climb” stretch I mention in the book, you’ll feel them legs QUIVERING.

Your thighs. Back. Sides. Portions of the body you did NOT know existed, hehe.

While throwing the leg up in just that pose, when I started, I’d “bang it up there” and bang it down with a “thud” onthe cement.

This hurt, but it helped me get better.

But really.

REAL control is when you can simply “glide” that leg up effortlessly, and stay in the stretch – and getting out of it, you do so in control, and calmly and loosely!

THIS, my friend is the real key to isometric benefits (or benefits from said training) and the feel great feeling you get from STRETCHING!

No surprise I’v eincluded both in the same book!

And THIS is something most people, despite being great at pull-ups etc need to work upon. I should know – I used to be the same way!

Strong as heck, but inflexible in certain regards ...

When I do this now, I just “do it” . I dont aim for the foot to bang up there, or records.

It just glides up there!

And thats the only reason I’d advocate you to do Tai Chi etc workouts if you know how to do ‘em.

Pretty much useless for cage fights and real world fighting and we’ve covered that before, but its great for FLEXIBILITY, I WILL give you that!

And so it goes.

On another note, I just looked at an old document from school (a certificate of sorts) which claims I “inculcated good moral value and a secular outlook” amongst other interesting garbage.

The second. Yes.

First?

You be the judge, hehe.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Pick up the book on isometric training HERE.

PS #2 – Did also get to check out my old “Taekwondo” certificate back from when I did it. Musty and dusty, but it’s there, hehe. Yours truly was at “green belt” level then (I believe thats one level above rookie, hehe). Pity I didnt continue and had no incentive to do so!

I’ve written a lot on this one before, of course . . .

. . . but as I “saw” (or so it seems, at any rate)  my daughter gorging on cornflakes of all things in the middle of the afternoon, no less, I was struck with the idea to write this.

Now I don’t know if she was actually eating them, but she did have a bowl in her hand – minus the milk of course, hehe. If there is one thing my daughter won’t drink it’s milk (unless it’s with loads of gooey, icky, chocolate syrup on it. Eww!!!).

And so since she apparently was, and then she asked me about “should I take this with me to workout Dad (as a snack)”, I am writing to you about it too!

Now, you’re well versed with my opinion on the first two options in the question, of course (or ardent readers of this newsletter probably are, at any rate).

I’ve made no secret of the FACT that it’s far, far better to work out on an empty stomach than on a FULL stomach, or semi full.

Despite what the so called experts say, my best results have come from following a “diet” entirely opposite that of what the “experts” seemingly recommend.

And NOT by eating the meal they consider the most important of the day either . . .

Now, you’ll have to dive into the Simple and Effective Diet (and especially the intro, oh, and by the way, the manual is yours FREE with a purchase of the 0 Excuses Fitness System!) to find out more about this.

But suffice it to say that as far as eating AFTER a workout goes, YES, often times I’ll eat well after a workout.

Not “stuff” myself, although I do that on occasion, but usually, I have a good meal, and that’s that.

Usually an hour or so after working out.

And usually NOT before 530 in the evening, if that makes sense!

Hey. IT works for me, it works for my students, and it works AMAZINGLY and blindingly fast does this “strange” technique of doing things if you only let it! ?

And often times, I’ll eat HOURS after my workout. Not just an hour. Hours.

Often times I’ll stay on an empty stomach the entire day, and have some of my BEST damned workouts that way!

But as for the million dollar question, fueling DURING a workout?

Well, I’d say NO to it personally, even during extreme “ironman” like workouts.

But my goals of working out are different from the average Joe’ of course!

If your goals entail (as many people’s do!) preening and posing in front of the mirrors at the gym, by all means sip latte and “snack” on some rubbish the so called experts advocate. Go for it.

If your goals are “to lose a bit of weight”, but nothing spectacular, go for it.

If your goals are “the usual workout”, and “you feel hungry during your workout”, then if you really must, go for it.

But I’d only personally do it in case the workout was really extreme, and not even probably in that case.

And as for million dollar question #2.

Will it hurt my results?

In most cases, I’d say yes.

But if you’re going through extreme 100 pull-up and 100 handstand pushup workouts, or if you’re going through workouts where you climb steep hills in the middle of the day in blazing heat - - and 5 times per workout at that followed by a 100 pushups and 50 pull-ups, then it might help.

And probably won’t hurt your results any either way.

The key is though, if you’re keeping it that extreme!

And even in that case, I’d say probably NOT.

And as for what I told my daughter, and what she apparently did? Well, you’ll have to wait a bit for that one! ?

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – The 0 Excuses Fitness System is FULL of (choc-a-BLOC full of) golden nuggets of wisdom such as THIS. Pick up your copy right HERE.

I was recently on an international flight (pre COVID, of course).

Which seems like forever, of course.

And my passenger right next to me squeezed into one of them economy seats (I ALWAYS make sure to grab an aisle seat, NOT the window or the middle seat! ?) was an obese, corpulent and FLATULENT burping SOB from India (who didn’t even have the most basic manners apparently).

And this abomination was finding it hard to fit in the airplane seat for obvious reasons and kept dislodging yours truly’s arms from the arm rest until I firmly put it there, looked him in the eye once and refused to budge.

The guy near the window seat was apparently having a hard time with him too.

Anyway, dude didn’t speak much English or any at all.

(So much for the “general good English level” in India; believe me, it ain’t what the causal reader might think! ?).

And as far as manners go . . .

 . . . he was apparently a bit of a drunk, and every time the waitress (a Chinese lady from Hong Kong) got near to him he burped and said the following loudly.

“One more!”

And the way he said it made me think he was talking to a minion as opposed to a stewardess. . .

Funny part was this though.

She asked him what meal he’d prefer and he didn’t understand what she was saying in terms of language, but understood what she was asking.

And when he replied, she couldn’t understand him - - in either regard.

She looked at the passenger next to him.

He tried.

I don’t know where he was from, but she couldn’t understand his accent either.

And of course, guess who ended up translating everything for the rest of the flight.

“He wants a chicken meal”.

“He wants more water. Thanks! (since the guy apparently didn’t want to say it to her)”

“He wants another shot of whiskey”

And the last one didn’t need to be repeated too often. Dude picked up on it, and he kept going “One more!”

Ugh!

A slob if there ever was one, and if you’ve ever heard air hostesses complain about their passengers, believe me, there is something damn good reason.

Anyway it works both ways, of course.

Air India, which I’ve often flown in the past (and STOPPED flying a few years back completely) is (along with Royal Jordanian) in my UNBIASED and very NOT humble opinion one of the, if not THE shittiest international airline out there.

The stewards and stewardesses don’t even look like they belong on a flight.

I still remember the TV screen not working once on one of these flights.

Told the steward.

He shrugged. “Oh, so what. Nothing we can do! Just make do!”

Or “Oh, just try that seat over there” (when my seat arm rest wouldn’t work right).

Or, and this was the apex of all this . . . I wanted a couple of beers.

And lady came up to me, and dumped not two, but FOUR beers in my lap.

She grinned at me.

“You’ll want it anyway, and I don’t want to be bothered again!”

And off she went, waddling her lard ass down the aisle . . .

UGH!

Anyway, I didn’t write this to you to warn you about what airlines not to take, hehe.

I did a version of the “one more workout” out there with my daughter today.

“One more!” I went.

(She knows the story, and she LAUGHS a lot every time she hears it)

And as her little hands did another bar hang, I kept saying it.

One minute more!

One rep more!

And the same thing will work for you too my friend.

You don’t have to be a former U.S. Marine drinking with yours truly to say it either! ?

If you can currently bang out 50 pushups before you collapse, try saying “Just one more!” to yourself as you NEAR 50.

Not before the workout.

But as you get to maybe rep #45, or 46, but ideally, right on around 49.

Chances are you’ll hit not ONE more rep, but FIVE more if you do this right! ?

And that my friend is a tip for the ages. Have at!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – This works great for getting your numbers up there in the much vaunted, almighty Hindu squat as well!

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love the “Bourne series” – the book more than the movie(s) - - a lot, lot more!

I’m a huge Robert Ludlum fan, but while most movie adaptations of books fall woefully short of (my) standards (Jurassic Park being one prime example), the Bourne series didn’t.

At least, not in my own opinion . . .

Especially not the first three installments.

The Bourne Identity.

The Bourne Supremacy.

The Bourne Ultimatum.

They messed up a bit with the Legacy (#4) in my opinion, but despite it’s somewhat lukewarm box office response, Jason Bourne (2016) was a great, great movie, and Damon kicked ass.

And HE is the reason (the main reason) I love those movies.

I don’t know why, but Matt Damon makes the perfect “spy”, especially considering the functionally fit physique he has in the movie.

You see him hanging off ledges and doing fingertip crawl downs (spiderman!) down walls of embassies in the first movie.

You see him ALL out sprinting in the second (and doing pull-ups in the first).

And more . . .

And my personal favorite movie in the series is #2.

I watched it again last night, and much as I wrote about in 2018, I cannot get enough of the sprint sequence right at the start, which most people “miss”.

Bourne is showing running in Goa India. A fast run to begin with which (along with the right visuals and music) quickly builds up to a semi-sprint, then a sprint, and then the CRESECNDO – an all out sprint, arms pumping furiously, legs flying . . . with the music to boot.

And it brought back memories

Of me in 2018! When I did exactly those workouts in the park after my climb . . .

. . . ‘twas afternoon (or early evening) workouts then.

And you’d see me climbing the hill ONCE (after I did my pushups and pull-ups I believe) and AFTER the animal like movements.

I’d start off with a run, and finish off with several sprints, and I still remember the FEELING, the sheer feeling of exhilaration I got while doing ‘em, a feeling even HILL sprints (these were land sprints) cannot and will not give you (NOTHING compares to an all out land sprint in terms of duration, for one!).

Don’t get me wrong.

Hill sprints are fabulous, and that’s why I’ve got Advanced Hill Training out there, but flat land sprints allow you to really amp things up and really build up them hamstrings as well (so do hill sprints though).

Anyway . . .

This afternoon, I went out for a pull-up workout.

50 pull-ups, 50 pushups, and 50 dips.

And it was Damon inspired.

That physique he’s got in the movie came from THREE Things (and remember, this dude LOVES to eat, so he sure did make sacrficies for the movie!).

Pullups. At one point “Bourne” was doing them in sets of 30!

Heavy bag work (a lot of it. And it shows in the shoulders!).

And probably other stuff too, but most of all, that CHISELED, ripped physique you see?

LOTS and LOTS Of . . . running . . .

. . . on mountains! For hours a day.

Bourne hated it (by his own admission). But he did it, with his trainer, and the results are there for all to see.

And while I never hated my squats or sprints, or anything, I never did them for “hours!”. I DID climb hills for hours, but I DID want to quit on occasion, but I never did – and the results are there for all to see!

And I’m feeling great, and on top of the world, and wanted to tell you about it!

Now that I have, it’s adios. See y’all around!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Here is where you can pick up a book on pull-ups that will get you cranking them out effortlessly - - https://0excusesfitness.com/pull-ups-from-dud-to-stud-within-a-matter-of-weeks/

PS #2 – I wrote about “moonlight sprints” before too, and those are great too! Anyway, to get to Bourne level at pull-ups, here are the exercises that will get ya there - https://0excusesfitness.com/pull-ups-stud-to-super-stud-within-weeks/

So I got through a workout today. An old style workout. A fantastic one!

And why do I say this i.e what makes it different?

Well . . .

. . . because it’s a workout from BACK in the day.

From BACK when I wrote all those books on pull-ups, and when it was my primary means of exercise (the pull-up, that is).

And it fits in nicely with what I said in the last email as well, or at least the ending. If you missed it, go on ahead and check out the blog!

And the workout was . . . pushups, and pull-ups.

More specifically, fingertip pushups and pull-ups, and while the REASON for my doing the workout today (this particular one) was not necessarily to go down memory lane, ended up that way, and that’s what ended up happening.

But, the REAL reason behind the workout was something else, which I will talk about in the next email.

For now, bear in mind that that is how life is when you live in the flow, and so are workouts.

(Comes with caveats, of course. I’m currently nursing a split callus big time – something that has resisted TWO band-aids thus far . . . and looks ready to resist far more. Good news is the scab is already forming, and better news is, again, the MEMORIES it brought back).

I’ve often shown up back home with bleeding palms and BURNING skin (from rubbing a split callus on thick bars for tons of pull-ups).

And I’ve felt GREAT afterwards. And the callus usually heals within a couple of days, and the skin toughens, and . . . bingo. Problem solved. I’ve never been one to let “little things like that” bother me.

But you don’t have to go through that if you don’t want to, and that ain’t why I’m telling you this.

It’s because of two reasons.

One, this workout was done OPPOSITE of the manner in which I normally do my workout. See the next email for more on this, and this was actually the reason I did it in the manner I did.

And two . . .

If there EVER was a better grip workout combo than with the above two exercises (and if you add in hanging leg raises, it amps the effect) I am yet to see it.

The two books on pull-ups, and the THREE Books on grip have MORE than plenty in terms of this, of course.

But the fact is (oh, and add in monkey bars as well) that there are FEW, if any tips I can give you at getting better at and increasing pull-ups than doing and getting very good indeed at fingertip pushups.

My workout today was 50 pull-ups and a 100 fingertip pushups.

Blazing!

And not all at one go. 5 sets of 10 pull-ups, and 5 sets of the pushups.

Maybe I’ll switch the numbers around in the next workout to make it fun!

But for now, I’m toasted. So is my grip.

And so it’s adios for now, with one of the most powerful workout related tips I could ever, ever give you!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – These two exercises form the BACKBONE of many of the routines in the ADVANCED courses on pull-ups and building them “battletank shoulders”. Get on BOTH these courses now, my friend.

What a workout it was this afternoon!

I’ve written about being in a state of “near collapse” towards the end of some of my most recent workouts, but today was something else altogether.

Not only was it that state of “almost collapse” today but I could barely walk once done.

And despite the A/C on full blast – I was sweating buckets a full half an hour AFTER my workout – after a shower at that!

Yes, ‘twas that intense, and what did I do different today?

Well, basically two out of the three exercises I have included in 0 Excuses Fitness – three exercises that are (I believe) at the end of the section of pushups, and three exercises that are ROUNDLY and routinely ignored.

Big mistake, my friend.

And probably a big mistake on my end too to NOT devote an entire book simply to these incredible movements.

(NB – Advanced Hill Training is a book on these movements, but again, that’s a different course, and NOT one devoted purely to that type of movement).

And I implemented this sort of thing into my training today for a change, and . . .

. . . more importantly, you’ll have to read what I said about not wearing masks etc on the other site, and how my daughter (all of 6 years of age) is starting to develop the tiniest hint of a “pot belly”.

And how kids her age are getting downright FAT these days as is, and these inane lockdowns everywhere ain’t helping either.

I mean, you KNOW it’s bad – terrible – pathetic – and so forth that folks are starting to say “it’s OK, no problem” to what I described above but talk about stepping out of the house for a quick walk and they act like one is committing hara kiri.

All because some people nearby have apparently “got the COVID”. I wrote about this before. Yes, just suspicion, no confirmation, and that was nigh enough to set the cat amongst the proverbial piegons.

Anyway, ya’ll know how hard it is to get young kids to buckle down and do something, and if I said “let’s exercise”, I’d have heard crickets or perhaps worse, hehe.

So I didn’t.

I got down with my daughter, and did the thing, and half way through the routine as my daughter was “cheating” her way through a set of duck waddles and I was doing my damndest to make the damn exercise HARDER, I could literally hear myself wheeze and pant with each step.

And my heart was fixing to pop out of it’s casing, or so it felt like!

And THAT is what you can expect from the Advanced Hill Training routines my friend – the perfect accessory, along with the 0 Excuses Fitness System if you’re currently in lockdown or limited travel mode or if you’re just a “homebody”.

And back to day – the simplest things are indeed the best, and while I will detail specifics of the movements later, let me just say it’s things that most adults pooh pooh at – and most adults CANNOT even BEGIN to do.

And these exercises will get you in great, great shape my friend – both from a trim and toned perspective – as well as HEART – and internal HEALTH.

Give these sort of workouts a whirl, my friend. You truly WILL Enjoy ‘em!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Oh, we did the bear crawl and duck waddle – straight out of the 0 Excuses Fitness System today, but there are more my friend. Oh yes, there ARE – and I’ll be putting out a course onthat as well – stay tuned !

P.S #2 – Kiddie Fitness details not 10, not 20, not 25 – but FIFTY ONE ways to get your kid (and probably you the ADULT reading this too) in RIP – ROARING shape with the sort of workouts my daughter and myself did today, and “animal workouts” is only PART of the offering, my friend. Believe me now and trust me later, there is a lot, lot more to this. Check out the course right here - - https://0excusesfitness.com/kiddie-fitness/

As I sit here hours after my workout this afternoon (yes, you read that right – afternoon! Hehe) . . . I’m still exhausted, but in a GOOD way.

My body feels worked to the bone, and for those that don’t know, and I’ve written about this on one of the sites (either this one or the other) – I’ve been on a NEW routine for the past week.

A routine so powerful and difficult that it would probably kick most advanced trainees and triathletes in the can – not just for the EXERCISES themselves, but also the conditions in which it’s done.

You 0 Excuses Faithful will recall the video I shot in the 0 Excuses Fitness System (the workout video) where you can see my sweating full tilt . . . as the air conditioning was on, FULL BLAST!

The videos and pictures show that for all to see, and while the A/C was on then mostly for Cindy who was shooting the videos (didn’t want HER to sweat buckets, hehe) - - these days, it certainly isn’t while I do my home workouts.

And I almost – literally – COLLAPSED from exhaustion towards the end of my 25 minute blast today, a routine so intense that I literally felt my heart thud, pound and hammer for probably more than 23 of those 25 minutes!

I’ve posted details on the other site as to what the exact workout was, but for now, two things.

First, why do I work out in extreme heat?

Charles, a friend of mine often wondered “how I could undertake my hill climbs – often times multiple climbs – in extreme heat and humidity with temperatures approaching 50 degrees Centigrade in China”.

And probably rightfully so, hehe.

And my wife often asks me as well. And she often tells our daughter to “work out with the A/C or fan  on”.

And again, understandable to a degree, but to me, it’s about getting back to bare bones.

Often times, when climbing the mountain, I’ll see Chinese (mostly girls) with these little bitty pink mini fans they use to fan themselves (and truth be told, a lot of them that collapse on the way up probably do need it to an extenet!) and I always shake my head internally.

To me, it’s about braving the elements, and then some.

If you want extreme fitness, and to get fit quick – you must pay the price!

It’s the same as with anything else, my friend – success in any area. As Napelon Hill famously once wrote, Nature will only give up the object of your desires once you have paid the price. Nature cannot be tricked or cheated!

And so it is with fitness, and as for losing weight, though all the pundits claim the answer to that question is “no”, and it’s about calories burnt or other such nonsense . . . I beg to differ.

To me, it’s about how you feel and how hard your body is WORKING!

Running sprints all out in extreme heat on FLAT land can often be a far more exhausting workout in many regards than doing uphill sprints in cool weather (don’t get me wrong – the latter is tough, but still . . . ).

Doing pushups after extreme jumping sessions (an example I quoted on the other site today) is different from just doing 50 of them in your living room and then calling it a day (again, great thing to do the latter, but that’s not my point!).

And so forth.

If you’ve felt the sweat pour, and the HEART POUND during tropical conditions outdoors as you undertake extreme workouts (or what others call extreme or military grade workouts), well, you won’t be asking me this question any more!

Personally, I’ve always done better overall after hot, hot workouts and then coming home to a nice COLD air-conditioned environment (and perhaps even a few frosty cold ones later on during the day, hehe).

Anywya, the second thing you ask ?

Well, it’s my ROUTINES these days.

If you’d say jumping rope is the main part of it, you may be right.

But it ain’t the hardest part by far.

The hardest part involve two things – one, jumps without ropes, and two jump-squats of a nature I have NOT detailed in ANY of my writings.

Combine the two with what I’ve written above, and Oh MY.
