I said I'd talk about Hurricanes, so here I am.
2 weeks ago I started Martin Rooney's Training for Warriors centrepiece. They are called Hurricanes, and are an endurance/cardio exercise regime for fighters. Now I thought I was at an OK level of fitness, but these have put me to shame.
They are split into 5 categories, just like a real Hurricane. Each one gets progressively worse until Cat5 where it is, from what I've read, practically hell on Earth.
I started the system 2 weeks ago, on Category 1. Category 1 is sprints on a treadmill, slowing down to a gentle walk till your heart rate hits 120bpm, then sprinting again. Rinse and repeat 10 times.
Category 2 replaces the rest down with body weight exercises. Today I attempted the Cat2 and wow, I love it. It is the closest thing I've felt in the gym that replicates an actual tournament fight. Being utterly exhausted but having to continue. No matter how much your legs are shaking or how high your heart is, because you know without complete focus, you'll be farted out of the back. Just like in a fight, any lapse and you'll be annihilated.
I cannot recommend the TFW system enough. It is exactly what I've been searching for, and for the next few weeks I know I am just going to be getting fitter and fitter.
PS, resting heart rate of 41bpm, hell yeah.
