FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How many times a week should I do this training?
We recommend doing this training 1-2 times a week, with at least a day break in between.
Can I do this workout at home?
Yes, you can do this workout at home or at the gym.
Do I need any equipment?
No, you don’t need any special equipment.
How long should I do each exercise?
We recommend doing each exercise for 5 minutes. If this is too hard for you, then start with two minutes per exercise and increase your workload at your own discretion.
Can I take breaks during the workout?
No, we recommend that you do not take any breaks during training. You should refrain from popular avoidance strategies, such as constantly dabbing yourself with a towel or glancing at your smart phone. That doesn’t work in a real fight either.
Can I drink water during training?
No, we do not recommend drinking water during training. You’ll become dehydrated, but that’s part of the challenge. You should be able to survive one to two hours without water supply.
What if I can’t do an exercise?
If you can’t do an exercise, we recommend skipping that exercise and moving on to the next one, or modifying the exercise so that you can do it. If you have particularly big problems with the movements, then first train the 30 exercises.
Is this workout suitable for beginners?
No, this workout is not suitable for beginners. For beginners, we recommend doing the 30 exercises instead.
Are you serious?
Yes, we are serious. This workout is not suitable for beginners. If you’re just getting started, we recommend that you start with a simpler exercise program, such as the 30 exercises. If you need help with the development of this teaching content, then take a look at our training in Berlin or our worldwide online training.
