How many times per week “should” you do Hindu squats?

In the beginning, doing Hindu squats three times per week is a worthy goal.

That’s how I got started.

Then I hit a sticking point. I wanted to reach the goal of being able to do 500-straight Hindu squats.

This means 500 in a row, without stopping. No breaks. No doing a little here and a little there throughout the day.

My teacher advised that I do them everyday. And so I did.

I had the foundation. I had the technique down. I was past the point of being sore after doing them the day before.

So I bumped things up and began doing them everyday.

The results were astonishing. Within a relatively short period of time, my consecutive repetitions exploded. I was able to do 100 in a row instead of being stuck at 40.

When I hit 150 in a row, progress came much easier.

I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

From there I incorporated a few seconds of dancing in place when I did 100 in a row. This helped a lot.

After this I followed the 80-20 method. 80 regular Hindu squats followed by 20 Hindu jumper squats.

Then I made history. Personal history.

I blasted through obstacles and roadblocks. And 500 in a row was relatively easy.

There are other tricks that will help you – and when you add them all into your toolbox, you can make history, too.

Everything starts by following the exercises I teach in my Combat Conditioning book and videos.

If you think that you can’t do what I have outlined, think again.

Here endeth the lesson.
