The Isometric Total Body Workout DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 7 workouts included on this DVD are very good.They will definitely increase your body temperature if you put the effort into them that JB asks, however you won't come away sweaty like you've just had a hard workout at a gym.The only equipment required other than your own body is a chair, either for balance or for sitting in a few of the exercises (a couch works too), and something to lay/sit on for the stretching segment if that's what you prefer.

JB Berns is motivating and he reminds you to always keep your abs tight without beating you up about it.A reminder is good when you're concentrating on another area of the body.

Two things I would improve if this DVD were to be made again, however they don't detract from the overall workouts:1) Have the intro segments as a separate menu section rather than as track one in each workout (which can be skipped past to get straight to the workout).This would be a change to make it like the Urban Rebounder dvds and the way they're setup.2) During the intro show on either himself or an assistant exactly what area in the muscle you're working that you should feel the exercise in.That would be helpful to know if you're doing it correctly.

The 15 minute time for each workout is decieving, however I had forgotten that NO workout dvd ever includes the warm-up/cool-down portion in the time allotted. The back and stretching workouts really are 15 minutes including warm-up/cool-down.The other 5 are realistically from 20-25 minutes in length.

Combat Conditioning: Functional Exercises for Fitness and Combat Sports Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just as previous reviewers of this book have stated, the exercises featured in this book are nothing new. On the other hand, many of these exercises are overlooked in this day and age, which is a shame, because they are excellent conditioning workouts.

If you are not a martial artist, don't let the title of this book deter you from buying it. The Hindu Squats and Hindu Push-Ups alone is just one duo of exercises that will build your stamina by astounding leaps and bounds. I first learned these two exercises over twenty years ago from the late pro wrestler Dr. Jerry Graham, and I was shocked to see how these seemingly simplistic calisthenics worked me like a horse.

While the Squats & Push-Ups appear to be the core exercises of Furey's book, he has a fabulous plethora of exercises to tone and strengthen the entire body. You can build quite a personalized home workout, no weight equipment needed, and get great results.

The only shortcomings of "Combat Conditioning" are incomplete editing and lack of availability. There is one section where a succession of photos illustrating an exercise appears in incorrect order. There is no ISBN number to be found. Therefore, the book has a weak presence on the Amazon.com radar, which is a drag, because I bet Furey could sell many copies if the product had more visibility.

Whether you are striving for Mixed Martial Arts stardom or just want to get in phenomenal shape without the price of a gym membership, this book is a good bet. I would love to see another edition of "Combat Conditioning" in publication: neatened up, ISBN'd and ready for easy purchase!
