More on Military Mountain Climbers
Listen to this tip now
Dear Friend,
Last November, after returning from China, I wrote
about yet another often overlooked exercise that is
clearly spelled out in Combat Conditioning. That exercise
is none other than Mountain Climbers.
To recap: I was channel surfing on Day Two of my visit. Not
interested in Beijing Opera. Not interested in cooking. Not
interested in game shows - or CNN.
But then I saw two men in army attire panting and groaning
while they did Mountain Climbers. And let me tell you, they
weren't just going through the motions to a 4-count. They were
doing hard-core sprints. So if you're wondering how you can do
sprints if you don't have any hills in your area - believe me,
Mountain Climbers will do.
Naturally, if you've never done Mountain Climbers before, you
don't start off with sprints. Work into it gradually. The exercise
will whoop you big time even if you do it at half-speed.
Why? Because it is targeting major muscle groups.
Mountain climbers build leg and lung power. They get you gasping
for air in record time. They also work your hips, buttocks and
abdominals in a major way. And because you're hitting major
muscle groups and getting out of breath quickly, your body is
going to release copious amounts of growth hormone - ya know, that
precious hormone that keeps you younger, burns fat, builds muscle,
increases bone density and makes you feel fantastic regardless of
your age.
Mix Mountain climbers in with grasshoppers, burpees and pleasant
valleys - and I'd say you'd have a workout worth writing home
about.
Yes, Mountain climbers are good for women. And teenagers. Why, they're
even good for kids in pre-school.
Not only that but if you do Mountain climbers regularly, who knows -
you might be able to move around like Spiderman. The movement
is remarkably similar.
Well, my friend, that's all for now.
Kick ass - Take Names!
P.S. It's kind of hard to do mountain climbers if you don't have the
correct instructions on them - as found in my Combat Conditioning
book and videos. To remove all doubt about how to do them, go here and order now.
