I just finished reading “Black Belt Patriotism”, and contained within it is Chuck Norris’ exercise program. I found this interesting:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday:
- Total Gym – he does a routine that takes him exactly 15 minutes.
- Fast Walk – walk a fast two miles or use an elliptical machine for 30 minutes
- Crunches – ten minutes of crunches. (he should get a fitbal huh?)
- Stretching – a couple minutes with cool down
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday:
- Martial Arts – stretching then on to isolated kicks in slow motion, followed by hand and foot combinations on the heavy bag. If he has a partner he does jujitsu
- Pool Exercise – finishes up by doing some kicks in the pool
I found this interesting because it’s not particularly daunting – run this up against what a Michael Phelps does or any professional hockey player. The message is be consistent and you will produce healthy results.
