How many of us have set a goal to get to 500 hindu squats and 250 hindu push-ups only to fall short? Well I have prepared a method I call “Climbing Down the Mountain” and if you can do 100 hindu squats and 50 hindu push-ups without stopping, you should be able to get to 500 and 250 respectively in a couple days no problem (but you will be sore once you first try) In calculus (and in order theory too) there is a concept called “monotonicity”. We are going to leverage the concept of a “monotonically decreasing sequence” and borrow a concept from stochastic calculus called a “jump process” make the “reps” in our “set” curve match our goal of 500 hindu squats and 250 hindu push-ups. Math jargon aside, you need to be able to do 100 hindu squats continuously. Likewise, you need to be able to do 50 hindu push-ups continuously without stopping. This how your sets for squats should proceed: 100 squats 90 80 70 60 40 (this is our jump, just to keep us at 500 total squats) 30 20 10 Viola! You just did 500 squats. Here’s the key: as you get better and better, shrink the rest periods toward zero and you will soon be doing 500 continuous hindu squats. Here are the Hindu push-up sets/reps: 50 push-ups 45 40 35 30 20 15 10 5 Now this method can be applied to any bodyweight exercise to give you an AMAZINGLY quick increase in the quantity of reps. I’ve applied this same formula to pull-ups with similar success. Simply find your one set max reps, and climb down the mountain. Each week test your one set max reps (the number should increase) and climb down from there! That calculus class in high school actually had some sort of real world value after all. . . !

Here’s the best weight loss exercise you can do that takes only 5 minutes of your time. Yet, fat will pour off your body. It’s a simple exercise you can do at home, but I must warn you. . . it’s not EASY. Read this now if you’re busy and want to save some time while getting in your fat burning exercise.

First off I want to say that there are a lot of great weight loss exercises you can do. I like this one in particular because I can get it over with in 5 minutes. So on days when I’m too busy to go to the gym or do my normal workouts, instead I just do this 5 minutes of fat-burning nirvana.

Before I tell you how to do this, let me say that the reason why this burns off a lot of calories and fat is because it creates an oxygen deficit that is bigger than most other exercises. This is caused because of the speed at which you do these. You do them fast.

Now, fast is relative. What’s fast to you is slow to me. But that doesn’t matter. It just has to be fast FOR YOU INDIVIDUALLY. If it feels fast to you, then you’re doing it right.

Ok, now to describing hindu squats.

The parameters of doing this are simple. You do these for 5 minutes NON-STOP. Now, you may not accomplish this the first few tries that you do them. That’s ok. Just remember, that’s the goal. Another goal you should look to is to accomplish 100 reps of hindu squats in those 5 minutes.

If you’re not getting 100 in 5 minutes, you’re doing them too slow. Be sure to squat down far enough too. People tend to cheat by not squatting down far enough just so they can get the required 100 reps. It’s better to do full squats where the top of your thighs go below parallel to the ground and get only 80 squats than it is to do 115 squats doing 1/2 squats.

As you can probably tell by now, these are only bodyweight squats. Weights are unneeded. You get what you put into this exercise. It’s something you need to commit full effort to in order to get fast weight loss results.

I consider this the single best weight loss exercise for busy people.

Hindu Pushup, Power Fitness – Complete system of effective proper hindu bodyweight calisthenics exercises workout based on Matt Furrey’s Combat Conditioning royal court

Royal court?? What are those.

 

Well, the friends, these specific exercises are a more-or-less yoga looking bodyweight fitness regimen that involves 3 exercises namely: Hindu Squats, Hindu Push ups and Bridging (in 5/6 recommended positions).

 

They have been popularized by Matt Furey, a collegiate national wrestling champion (NCAA 2, 1985) and world Kung Fu Shuai-Chiao champion (Beijing, 1997) and even the R&B singer Usher reportedly uses them. I did actually see the clip of him doing the Hindu Push ups and Bridging on VH1 rock bodies.

 

Anyway, the reason I am writing about them are simply because again they, upon observation, simply remind you of yoga and its principles.

 

In fact the bridging poses consists of the dolphin, (if you can) the Headstand, Back bridge and Wheel Poses in yoga, while the Hindu Push Ups are basically downward facing dog into Upward Facing dog with the Squats Being Mountain Pose meets the Yoga Squat. Let’s not forget the name attached “Hindu”!

 

That said, on days, when you want some variety maybe you want to do Yoga in the morning, Hindu Push ups at night or vice-versa and interchanged with the afore mentioned 5 tibetan rites, provided below will be information on how to execute the exercises.

 

So here we go:

 

The Hindu Squats:

 

Folks, if you have been following my articles, one consistent feature would be that I draw from experiences and at times state what I may have gone through and how you can learn from it to either improve your workouts or avoid a given pitfall.

 

Now, the actual Hindu Squats that Matt Furey describes are (with no other way to say it) hard on, and dare I say, bad for the knees and thighs.

 

I’m sorry; they are just not worth the way he describes them.

 

You can google “Matt Furey + Hindu Squats” and try the descriptions you find, but

all I can say is good luck! Oh, yes I have banged out 200 of these badboys no problem and that was after I had started slow and thought alright, I can do a lot of these I’m pretty fit.

 

Wrong: the effect of my knees were just not worth the exercise, however, the idea of squatting BEFORE the hindu push ups is a must-and I have tried what it’s like to go straight to hindu push ups, not a good idea!-so you NEED to squat.

 

So what squats do I do then?

 

For simplicity’s sake, I’ll call them Sumo Squats.

 

The idea is to simply have your hands on your waist, your body standing akimbo (not on your chest so there is space for you lungs to expand!) and feet about wide apart (I’ll say a little further apart than the opposite placed elbows)

 

-Now, take deep breath and arch you back slightly.

-Hold that position for a split second.

-Now lower your body, looking straight ahead and exhale. (coming from a yogic background, try to make this as silent as possible, the forceful exhalation some sites recommend for the squats are NOT needed and actually could be harmful to your mucuc membranes. . . again, drawing from experience here folks!)

-Hold that Position for a split second.

 

Friends, this is a much safer alternative to the Hindu Squat, has the same effect on the internal organs and breathing and builds the lower body just as well in my humble opinion.

 

Start out Slowly with at least 10-20 as a beginner working all the way up to whatever number you will be safe with dividing in half, because you are going to doing half of your number of squats in hindu push ups!

 

See you next article.

 

To Health,
