Icon14 Prison Cardio for Leben - A tutorial with video

Quit worring about Leben being in jail for 35 days. He has the proper euipment for a terrific cardio workout. Witness ......

The Prison Workout: A Total Body Exercise Routine


Some prison inmates have nothing but a sink, a toilet, their bed, and a few square feet of space at their disposal. They need an exercise routine that can be done in a confined space without equipment. The "Prison Workout," as it was nicknamed by some people who saw prisoners without access to weights doing it, is designed to develop strength, endurance, speed, agility, and balance. It also produces gains in muscle, losses in body fat, and plenty of stamina. It is a total body and cardio workout.

The Prison Workout consists of one classic exercise, the "burpee." This exercise works your chest, arms, front deltoids, thighs and abs. The burpee is a six-count exercise:

1) Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands raised over your head. Then squat down and place your palms on the floor by your feet.

2) Kick both of your legs back so that you're in push-up position.

3) Bend your elbows and lower your body until your chest touches the floor.

4) Push yourself back up.

5) At the end of the push-up, quickly pull both knees into your chest while keeping your hands on the floor. You're jumping back into the squat position of step one.

6) Stand straight up by straightening your legs and throwing your hands in the air over your head. You're now in the position that you started in. You can make the burpee more advanced and increase the explosive power in your legs by jumping into the air as you stand up.

The Prison Workout is done in descending sets. For example, begin by doing 20 burpees without stopping. Rest 30 seconds, and then do 19 burpees without stopping. Rest 30 seconds and do 18 burpees. Continue doing descending sets until you get down to a final set of 1 burpee. That makes a total of 210 burpees.

Carlos Newton claimed his physique was completely from bodyweight exercises. Leben can come out of prison ripped if he puts the work in.

Somehow I think Leben's time will be significantly less than 35 days.

But anwyays, burpee away, Leben.

I could of sworn that the fight was almost certainly off. I thought I read something saying that even before he was jailed that the fight would most likely not happen.

Leben should definatley take advantage of not bein able to do anything at all besides work out. Wouldnt be a bad idea for him to do as much cardio and workouts as possible.

maybe leben can throw off bispings timing by doing a burpee in the middle of the fight and then knock him out.
