Posted in Full Body, Chest Workouts on the October 11, 2007

Kimbo Slice is famous (probably more infamous) for his series of underground street fighting videos. The amazing thing is he is more of a household name than his brother Rhadi Ferguson, a 2004 Olympian and Judo Champion. He is also a proponent of bodyweight workouts, so you can imagine how delighted I was to find these once hidden gems. This video is a great example of a world class athlete utilizing his most valuable weight, his own. The exercises are also very interesting to, so enjoy giving these a try from this fitness expert.

Is It As Fun Going Up As It Is Going Down?

To answer this dangerous question generally, I would say no. Well first, get your mind out of the gutter. Second, considering the mix of a hill and some gravity, I would still say no, its more fun to go down. Going down a hill was a treat as a kid, whether it be by sled or by rolling, but running up a hill as an adult is a whole different concept. Most fitness ideals can be achieved by simple changes in things everyone did as a kid but simply updated to an adult level of activity. Hill running is an advanced level of core and leg development but the benefits are unmeasurable. This video below is a great example on how to do this challenging exercise with his own personal twist on it. Watch the video and give this a try. This 10-15 minute workout will benefit the entire body. Enjoy.
