The Road To 100 Hindu Burpees

For a period now I've been focused heavily on one exercise and that's the Hindu Burpee which is a variation of the Hindu Wrestling exercise the Sapate. I started out with 5x5 and added a set each day until it was 10 sets of 5 (50 Reps), bumped it up to sets of 6 until I reached 10 sets and as of now I'm at 7x7. Some days are harder than others and when my energy is there it feels much easier. 

It's a hell of an exercise that combines so many things like strength, cardio, agility, flexibility, stamina, durability and incredible muscular endurance. I have lost weight and starting to look smaller in the waistline, more definition is coming in and having greater stamina. The idea of this workout is to not train to failure or get tired during but to build on developing a stronger lung capacity, treat it like a sprint workout when you do a set and rest as long as needed and generate natural HGH. Never, under any circumstances, train to where your form is sloppy and overrunning the CNS. 

I have been doing this exercise every single day and often times is my only workout of the day but it is also great to do at any time. Sometimes I do take a power nap afterwards cause it does take quite a bit out of you. The system of progression scheme of reps and sets has been working great for me thus far; building up a ladder of sets and reps, go back down the ladder, get back up and repeat that until I reach a level of doing 10 sets of 10 (100 Reps). The direction I'm riding to is once I reach the ability to do 100 Reps, is to do as many as possible, rest and repeat until I've had enough.

It hasn't been an easy road because I'm not known for routines or heavily on goal setting of this caliber but this is something I want to accomplish and there's going to be days where I'll feel unmotivated and won't feel the need to do them but I do have things that'll help me stay on track and keep seeing the number 100 in my mind multiple times a day. Use visualization techniques and others. 

I love this exercise because it feels more natural to me than doing individual Hindu Squats and Push-ups, this way I can do a set, recover until I instinctively know I can do another easy set and work with that until it's over. Although I may need a small bit of a nap afterwards, it does feel amazing and the benefits are so worth it. 

Power through your goals and never stop being the best you can be. Get stronger, become highly conditioned and kick ass with an amazingly awesome attitude.
