    Did this warmup before working out today. My knee didn’t hurt later in the day like it usually does. I dig your programming. It’s fucking effective.

      No kidding, I tried his cardio punishment I had to reduce the volume in half and I got to three rounds.
      I will reach full 10 rounds without unnecessary rest eventually

      You saw him breathing slightly heavy after this warm-up. If a guy who does like 500 burpees in a row starts to visibly breathe after a warm-up, you know it's like a workout for a lot of other people.

  • @swashbucklingadventures9929

    First and foremost, thank you for your service!!! I've known quite a few friends out of Pendleton. I was denied joining due to a broken femur. Liability was the word used.😔
    I stumbled across your channel and very glad I did! These routines are incredible! I found your pre and post vids along with the one for busy people. I saved those 3 to get started. Unless there's something you recommend for a newbie instead of the one for busy people. Only reason I chose it was it seemed the easiest to start.
    Before I found your vids I was just doing pushups to get back into shape. I've already lost 20 lbs.(just focusing on diet)Down from 227lbs. and 6'3".

      Thank you for the support brother, keep dropping the weight by being active no matter what way you can. Walking, taking the stairs, any kind of exercise and clean up your diet. Once you lean out and can do burpees, that’s when the weight will really drop.

    I typed these up in my phone so I don't have an excuse to not do them- figured I'd share in case anyone else wants them typed out:
    How to properly warm up for calisthenics:
    - 20x 4 count jumping jacks
    - Arm circles- 10 forward, 10 back. Start small, get bigger.
    - 10x 4 count chain breakers
    - 10x 2 count swimmers
    - 10x 4 count cherry pickers
    - 10x 4 count windmills
    - 10x 4 count squat thrusts (half burpees)
    - 10x Lunge & Twist
    - 10x 4 count mountain climbers
    I have done the same for the "Full Body Stretching Routine for Burpees and Calisthenics" video as well, find it in the comments there.
    Amazing stuff, wolf. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and training philosophies.
