Combat Conditioning - Royal Court

The Royal Court in Combat Conditioning is comprised of the three most important exercises for developing the entire body: Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups and Bridging.
This workout was first presented by Matt Furey as the Royal Court in his Combat Conditioning series.  Following this legendary routine will quickly catapult your overall strength, endurance and flexibility.
Matt presents the Royal Court to be done as straight exercises:

• one set of Hindu Squats as many as you can without stopping
• one set of Hindu Pushups as many as you can without stopping
• Bridging for a set time of up to 3 minutes

There you have it, a good full body routine that will catapult your overall strength, endurance and flexibility.

I however like to do this Royal Court workout in three sets.

First Set: kind of a waking up set...

• Hindu Squats about 10-15 at a light pace.
• Hindu Pushups about 5 at an easy pace.
• Bridging in repetitions about 2-3.

Short break enough time to catch your breath, but no longer than 1-3 minutes.

Second Set: Warmup...

• Hindu Squats about 20-30 again at a light pace.
• Hindu Pushups about 10 again at an easy pace.
• Bridging in repetitions about 10-15 at a slow steady rate.

Short break enough time to catch your breath, but no longer than 1-3 minutes.

Third Set: Workout...

• Hindu Squats to maximum at a good pace (not slow)
• Hindu Pushups to maximum at a good pace (again not slow)
• Bridging hold for up to 3 minutes.

This is a good fully body workout routine that can be followed daily.  Following this workout routine daily will quickly catapult your overall fitness, strength, endurance and flexibility.

I really didn't like the default avatar and decided to change to something a little more appropriate.  Not bad if I do say so myself.

Original banner

Up loaded a new banner for the site.  Not much different, but the sizing in particular was off.  Creating a banner proved to be a lot harder than I thought it would be.  Deciding just what should be in the banner, color choices, sizing, and how involved (or loaded) was actually quite difficult.  But with practice this will all become easier and a distant memory.
Hopefully my writing skills will get better too!

My 1st Post

Welcome to my blog!
I hope to be posting often on the following subjects:

• Exercise
• Fitness
• Taekwondo
• Nutrition
• Competition
• Goal Setting

My purpose for writing this blog is to document failures and success stories with things in my life, as related to Taekwondo.  I have read that the successful people in life are the ones who set goals.  This blog will be an attempt to do just that, and share the process with all of you.
