Here's Part 2 Bruce Lee's Training Secrets…..
One of the most important part to Lee's overall physique was his regular cardio workouts. He was a great advocate of running as the best form of cardio.
But it wasn't steady state running he did, he practiced intervals while running his 4 miles a day.
That's to say he would sprint every couple of minutes or so and even jumped over things along the way.
This is just one of his secrets to losing fat while getting lean.
To get ripped you need to burn fat WHILE building muscle. You can do this with high reps with lower weights; and of course the perfect weight is that of your own body. An example would be do to 3 sets of 25-50 Hindu-Pushups so your burning fat while building muscle AT THE SAME TIME!!!! Of course squatting (and lots of them) will do the job even better.
Lee pushed himself past the threshold often to burn fat reserves and gather oxygen from wherever it can to fuel the muscles, and trained his abs DAILY.
Tip: If you want to have visible abs you need 10% or lower body fat which can easily be achieved with a combination of sprints and bodyweight cals. I'm a strong believer in combining the two for the fastest gains in fat lose and building muscle.
In both Combat Fitness & Building Body Power I outlined a combination of these methods that I've been teaching for years with unbelievable results.
Here's one to get your feet wet.
• Sprint HARD for 10-15 seconds.
• Then do 25 Pushups
• Sprint again for 10-15 seconds.
• Then do 25 sit-ups
Repeat for 20-30 minutes. Do this 3-4 times a week and your clothes will be falling off within days and you'll get a taste of Bruce Lee type training.
