This is an excellent video. Do not be fooled by its simplicity. I have been using the exact exercises in this video for the past 3 months now. As a result I am much stronger and a whole lot more defined.

Im not sure what your definition of “top shape” is but it is a complete body workout that is designed to tone your entire body utilizing your own resistance. This makes it easy for anyone to start, is fast, easy and as you tone and grow stronger, your resistance naturally increases. Its not designed to build large muscles but to tone – which helps you naturally lose weight over time and improves your posture. Very effective if done regularly and you dont need weight, diets or a gym

Yes, that is why bruce lee was very light, but very strong. Look at tigers, do you ever see the with weights? No. They wrestle with each other wich is two objects pushing together with full force, but not moving.

Interesting video.. I’ve lifted weights forthe last ten years and recently have been experiencing back problems wjen training. Not been to the gym for 6 weeks as a result. this type of traning may help me get back to it. do you only do one set of each exercise per workout? and you can do this more than once a day?

You can perform the exercises as much and as often as you want – Isometrics are by their nature a toning exercise designed to develop strength through tone. You can only provide as much resistance as your body can provide against itself. So how much you do and how often is really up to you

No – it wont BUILD it will TONE – muscle building comes from breakdown and rebuilding of muscle tissue – toning increases strength through continual use of the muscle – not sure where you heard 30 seconds – according to those who developed this series for the Canadien AF, 10 is sufficient
