Jeet Kune do: Fitness #2: Lower Body

With this set of exercises, i usually practice sidekicks.  Always remember to start slow then speed up with any exercise.

Groin Stretch: First you sit and put the bottom of your feet together bring them closer to you and push your legs down by the knees.

Side leg raise: First you get on your knees and raise your leg up to the side then bring it back down and repeat.  Your leg should still be bent when lifted.

Jeet Kune do: Fitness #1: Lower Body

Here's the first set of exercises, i use. This is the first of two lower body exercises that, i use to condition myself to practice kicks. I usually practice round-house and straight-kicks. I have a set of exercises for each day of the week.

Jump rope: You know how this is done...i know it's for cardio which is burning fat but, i believe it also helps your balance.

Bend over stretch: This is done by keeping your legs straight and bending at the waist and exhale a little on your way down.

Cat stretch: While your still in the bend over position bring your hands forward in front of your feet touching the floor then bring your jaw to your chest your legs and feet should still be in the same positions.  After doing that for a few seconds come down into a push up position, rest your legs, push up and stay their then bend your back a little then bring your head back looking up.

Jumping jacks: All you need to do is bring your feet together then give a small hop to separate them then another one to bring them back and repeat.  When your feet separate your hands come out from the side and up over your........

Head Strike Defense

The defense is done by leaning your upper body backwards while sliding your rear foot back so you will not fall.  You perform this with speed bringing both your upper body and rear foot back at the same time.  This is done when the target is your head.  You should also try this by taking a quick step or two backwards. 

A Chance to Exercise

Walking: Whenever your in a building and you have some time take the stairs instead of the elevator.  When you get to a place by vehicle park somewhere that will allow you to have close to a minute walk.

Balance: Whenever your at home and your doing something like using the mirror, putting on close or washing something stand on one foot while doing that.

Awareness: If your at home with nothing to do and you don't want to exercise to hard practice countering techniques from an imaginary attacker.  You must do this while sitting, standing or lying down. 

Sidestep Counter-attack 2

This counter comes against the same forward attack the rear-right-jab you may say, i've done this already but one technique can have many defenses against it.  Once again you sidestep to the left with left foot taking a small step then the right follows immediately with a quick slide.  After doing this you deliver a rear-hook punch to the jaw then use left leg and deliver a toe-kick to groin.

Sidestep Counter-attack 1

Sidestepping is a useful skill when someone attacks by moving straight forward towards you.  This first counter happens when a rear-right-jab comes sidestep it to your left and deliver a rear-left-jab to the jaw.

Jab Defense 2

This defense is a quick one you simply bring your open hand straight up going either left or right slapping your attackers fist off it's target.  If your sitting and the punch comes from the side you can bring hand up from a face down position and backhand the punch.  It's also good to move your head in the opposite direction when you knock the fist aside for example your left hand goes right your head then goes left.
