Combat Conditioning

[SithSpawn]

Hey folks.

I was reading through some new comics this week (like the geek I am) and came across an advert similar to those old Charles Atlas ones, but this was about something called combat conditioning which supposedly uses body weight exercises and can be done in 15 minutes a day.

Naturally I'm skeptical so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get insturctions of how to do these exercises without having to pay this twunt in the advert $30. I also want to make sure I'm not wasting my money on something that i won't be able to do with my heart condition, I've been told not to lift heavy weights so I can't imagine that shifting 200+ pounds up and down, even just for 15 minutes is going to be a good idea.

well, I don't know if it's the same thing, but body weight exercises are usually like pushups, pull ups, chin ups, dips, leg raises, and stuff like that. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as the combat conditioning but that's more or less what body weight exercises are. they work pretty well considering that my trainer's all for those kinds of exercises, so if a certified personal trainer is all for it then there has to be something to it. As for the whole thing with time and your weight, all I can really say is to take it slowly and eventually you'll get better. it just takes some time and patience. Best of luck

I don't mean to sound like a sales person, but the modern version of Combat Conditioning is put out by Matt Furey Enterprises and can be used by anyone. His brother used it after having multiple heart attacks and he didn't suffer any negatives from it.

I personally have the Combat Abs book. I have used it for a bit, I just have to find a way to get myself going on it in a consistent manner.
