Daily Exercise

Exercise: The Dragon Flag, invented and used by the one and only Bruce Lee. This is an intense exercise seen in Rocky IV, used by MMA fighters and Bruce Lee. It works out your abs/core. 
 1. Lie on a decline bench and grab the edge of it behind your head with both hands. Create tension throughout your whole body, starting with your traps, lats, and arms, and on down through your core and legs.
 2. Swing your feet upward until your body is almost vertical keeping your shoulder blades still on the bench. Keep your abdomen tight and your body as straight as possible while pointing up in the air. Slowly lower your feet under control until they are just above the bench. Lift your legs back up in the air again to complete a rep.
 3. Repeat.

Daily Exercise


Exercise: An exercise for people looking for a whole body blast! Its name says it all, the death crawl. It is treacherous, amazing exercise. It works your chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, and back. You need simply two dumbbells.
1. Position yourself in the up push up position grasping the dumbbells in your hands and do push-ups.
2. Row the dumbbell in your right/left hand up the side of your chest while in the up push-up position then lower back down.
3. "Walk" the dumbbell forward step by step, then stop your hands and walk your feet up until you can stand up. 
4. Stand up and do 3+ dumbbell jump squats. Holding the dumbbells at your sides, bend your knees to a squat position then explosively jump up.
That's 1 rep of the death crawl, brutal right?
