BMF - my way

10/7/08
Z-Health - combo R & I warmup - 10 min

Working SuperSets
Swings (10 L, R x 2) x 5 = 200 reps (16kg)
Hindu Squats (30 x2) + (25 x 2) + (20 x 1) = 130 reps

Yoga
Sun Salute - 1 rd. - extra time spent in downward dog & Lunge positions
Polarity Squat - F & B, L & R, circles - 1 min
Sun Salute - 1 rd. - done at faster pace - almost coordinated w/breathing
Triangle Pose - 1rep L, R - Z drills for thoracics, hips, pelvis, lumbar & knee

The Hindu squats are tough. I could only do 2 sets of 30 and had to back off to sets of 25, then 20. The burn is intense and catching up the breathing is too, especially when trying to go right to a set of swings! Getting to a set of 50 in a row will be a challenge. How those dudes do sets of 100s & 100s nonstop is crazy stuff!

I did realize however, that I am doing a version of Iron Tamer's Brutal Minimalist Fitness (BMF) and as for rep totals, it is more volume! So I'm in better shape than I thought. The BMF is a total of 300 reps, 150 each of Swings and Hindu Squats.

Today I did a total of 330 reps; 200 swings & 130 Hindu Squats. It is an interesting combo of exercises and is a great cardio and lower body/drive chain workout.
