Preparation For Bootcamp in China

By: Harry Bilbao

 

Hello grasshoppers!!

Get ready to Learn Kung Fu in China! But First… Wondering what its like to prepare for Bootcamp?, Well, I will be making updates here so make sure you subscribe.

This is my four-week preparation for Kung Fu Bootcamp and I will be making my way to China to train Kung Fu!

My journey will start on soon and you will be able to see what it’s like.
Before I travel to Kung Fu Bootcamp I need to prepare…

 

Here is what I have done so far.

Week 1 of 4 (Preparation)

Food:
This part is extremely critical, you can train eight hours a day but if you are not eating the correct foods you will not gain the health and fitness you’re looking for.

Training: (Gradual)
I decided to concentrate in large reps as at Kung Fu Bootcamp as this will be a normally be the case..
Legs are very important… So make sure you burn those legs before attending the school.

Lots of Leg work.

(Why? You will be Running, Kicking, Lifting, etc… So its best to make sure they don’t burn as much when you get there. You will know what I mean when you get there)

Week 1

Week One Training

10 minutes Warmup & Stretching

• Military Squats (no weights)
  2 Sets / 100 Reps Total = 200 Reps

• Modified V-Sit
  3 Sets / 20 Reps Total = 60 Reps

• Traditional Abs Crunch
• 4 Sets / 10 Reps Total = 40 Reps

• Push Up
  7 Sets / 10 Reps Total = 70 Reps

Additional info:
I went to the Chinese visa agency to get a Chinese Visa.
The process was simple and straightforward.
The application form was done online and they asked very basic questions and requested basic pieces of information.
(Picking it up 3rd of March)

Training Summary: I have not trained for a while, so it’s no surprise I feel very tired, within 20 minutes my legs are already hurting.

 

Legs have been hurting for a few days, I have taken it easy. It clearly shows I have not trained for a while.

Today Saturday I took a 2 hour walk in park as a friend walked her dogs. It’s surprising how many people who work in a large city forget the wonders of a good long walk.

 

I have been very busy at work this week, I do shift work, it takes a toll on the body. I wanted to take it easy the first week, I have eaten healthy and also had a cheat day.
