What that means is body excellence.
(upbeat music)
Bruce Lee was an adamant believer in his body
and the way he conditioned it for strength, power,
and this is going to be a great way
to develop power training.
So, the warrior athlete is a big system around that
including the art of Jeet Kune Do.
So, you're gonna see a great routine.
And you know that some of the exercises we've been doing,
Dan, it's very, very, uh.
It's all about developing that functional strength.
We don't want to be bulky, 'cause it slows us down,
we're not body, we're not, you know, lifting weight,
we're not bodybuilders, right? - Yeah.
Yep, so, let me give you a couple of exercises
and Shin's going to follow along, but first,
just to show you what we're doing, I'm gonna lay down,
and as I come down,
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna fully extend,
but at halfway point I'm going to hold.
- From here.
- In this position, I'm gonna squeeze
and tighten this position
until I get to a fatigued stage,
but normally about 30 seconds, right.
- 30 seconds. - and you hold this position.
Now, once I'm done, I'm gonna come back up
and I'm gonna be here.
I'm gonna pull and then I'm gonna hold
and tighten this position as well.
- And with this part you can see.
- Once I'm done with 30 seconds, I'm gonna put this down,
stand right in this position, which is almost
the Jeet Kune Do stance, and then you have your hands out,
and this is where you start to rock a target.
You start hitting and you continue moving.
30 seconds, so you're gonna release all that tension
and just strike.
That's one set, and then you do that again.
- One set, and how many sets do we do?
- We'll do two. - okay, perfect.
And then you're on the ground?
- And once we're finished with that,
you'll end up finishing with the ab work.
So, as soon as you're done,
I want you to really twist the body up and to the knee.
As soon as it does this, you just keep rocking.
- [Dan] 30 seconds as well? - 30 seconds, yeah.
- There you go.
- Good? - alright, alright.
(claps) Let's do it. - Lets do this.
- All right, let's do 25 seconds.

- Four, five, - Right there.
six, seven, eight,
nine, 10,
11, 12, (continues counting) - It's an intense workout.
It's all about developing that functional strength,
to be able to move to generate explosive power.
Not just lifting how much weight.
- Squeeze - 19, 20,
21, 22

- Good. That's good.
Now up - Up
- Now, you're gonna end up squatting just a bit,
and pull.
