30 Second Bear Crawls Burn Fat Fast
Dear Friend,
When you really stop and think about it, if it weren't for
bodyweight exercises, humans wouldn't be walking!
Tis true.
In watching my son, Frank, almost four, and my daughter,
Faith, 10 months, develop, I am amazed at how many
exercises they had to do to get to the crawl stage - then
the walking stage - and the funny thing is that many of these
same exercises are taught in Combat Conditioning.
Now, you might be prone to think that "because a baby
could do them, they're too easy for adults." And if you're
prone to think that, you'd be w-r-o-n-g.
Children are naturally flexible. And they have boundless
energy. In fact, when PROFESSIONAL athletes have tried
to keep up with a child, they get exhausted within an hour.
Literally and truly.
Before my daughter hit the crawl stage, she had to do
modified pushups - not to mention a lot of back hyper-
extensions. In order to achieve the sit-up-in-bed stage,
she had to do a lot of leg lifts and knee pullins. One of her
favorite exercises is the army crawl. That one whoops
most adults within a few seconds.
Bear crawls are one of the most overlooked bodyweight
exercises (they're in Combat Conditioning, too) - and if
you take a minute a day - well, maybe more like 30
seconds to crawl like a bear - believe you me, results
are a coming down the pike.
After bear crawls flip over for a bit of crab walking, and
you've virtually every muscle in the body, except the neck.
Now let's look at the four crawls and other assorted exercises
I've mentioned in today's email and weave a workout around
them (this is just in case you didn't catch all the embedded tips
thus far).
1. Modified pushups - hips and legs on floor - push off palms, lower
and repeat
2. Army crawls - 10-20 seconds to start
3. Leg lifts - 10-20 to start
4. Leg pull-ins - 10-20 to start
5. Bear crawls - 30 seconds
6. Crab walks - 10-20 seconds
7. Get up to standing - lie on back and come to standing - 10x -
this final exercise is one that I specifically emphasized for the
80 and 90-year old men and women I trained at my gym in
California. - Very important.
So you see, even the most basic things we do as a child can
be turned into a kick-butt workout, using nothing more than
your own bodyweight.
And the sky is NOT the limit. It can go on and on and on - so
that you are always challenged.
By the way, babies also know how to do deep breathing. They
do it naturally, right out of the gate. Because babies breathe
deeply, they have more energy, laugh a lot, have a great time
and learn really fast.
You can get back to the way Mother Nature intended and become
a deep breather who tightens up the ole waistline in record time
by employing the Magnificent Seven and 5 second Abs exercises
as taught in my international best-seller, Combat Abs.
Kick butt - take names!
