Legs Like The Paleolithic

Legs Like The Paleolithic


You'll need a fairly heavy rock or a kettle bell to hold with both
hands, (since we don't have a large deer carcass handy to carry over our
shoulders for this one.)

Walking like the Paleolithic
1.    Find a nice park, or a large open gym.
2.    Hold the kettle bell or rock up to your chest with both hands.
3.    Begin walking, trying to keep your back straight while holding
the weight as high as possible. Start taking large steps while keeping a
steady pace.
4.    Walk in this manner for at least three miles. (Pay attention to
proper form during this exercise.)

Tuck Jumps
1.    Make sure you're warmed up. (Maybe after a good walk.)
2.    Stand with feet shoulder width and knees slightly bent. (Imagine
the danger approaching from ahead of you.)
3.    Bend your knees and descend to a full squat position. (Get
ready.)
4.    At bottom of the squat, powerfully explode straight up bringing
your knees toward your    chest while in midair. (Imagine a tiger is
charging you and you have to jump over it.)
5.    Grasp your knees quickly with your arms
6.    At the top of the jump your thighs should touch your torso.
(You've dodged the attack.)
7.    Release your legs, control your landing and descend into the
squat again for another explosive jump. (You can't afford to be tired
yet the beast is coming around again.)
8.    Upon landing immediately repeat the next jump.
9.    Perform these on a soft flat landing surface.
10.    Try to do three sets of twelve.
11.    Use these drills no more than once per week to avoid overuse or
excessive impact on your joints.
(Three sets of twelve for this exercise.)

Squat-Thrusts
1.    Stand with feet together.
2.    Squat down and place your hands on the floor next to your feet.
3.    In an explosive movement, jump feet backwards into a push-up
position,
4.    Jump feet back between hands and stand up.
(Three sets of twelve for this exercise starting out.)

If you do these three exercises weekly you will see results in your legs
in a short amount of time.
