Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today is super simple. One full body exercise that really taxes the central nervous system.  All you're going to do is st the timer and go.  You can pick your time limits.  I like to do one long set of continuous singles after I have completed 5 on each arm with out switching.  Drum roll... Turkish Get Ups.. This is Steve Cotter's variation on the basic movement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGRBvom4Zrw

20 minutes of TGUs..

Cool down, have a nice day... El Rey and Manny always...

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller. Hitting the dungeon today for a heavy bag and calisthenic training session.  If you don't have access to a heavy bag, grab two small dumbbells, or even to cans of soup to use as resistance and shadow box.  Believe me, it'll be harder than you think.

30 seconds heavy bag (punch, kick, elbow)
30 seconds shadow wrestling (shots, sprawls, fakes, downblocks, footwork)
20 push ups
20 sit ups
