2. Bruce Lee was always on the lookout for new and
innovative ways to improve his physical conditioning.
He wanted to be in the best state of conditioning that
was possible and would try any and everything looking
for that edge.
He accumulated a lot of exercise equipment in the
process and made use of it all.
3. Lee had equipment custom made for him that would try
to simulate certain conditions.
His friend Herb Jackson was going to build a dummy
that could move with cables and pulleys for Bruce.
The idea was for Bruce to use it to simulate fighting.
Bruce passed away before they got a chance to build it.
4. Bruce started using the cross training style of
workouts and believed he needed to combine the
elements of cardio, stretching and strength building.
He would do 5 mile runs but never ran them the
same each time.
Some days he ran them as interval training and
some days just ran fast, always trying something
different.
5. Lee thought that the abs and forearms were two of the
more important body parts to concentrate on.
He had been quoted as saying no one should begin
sparring until they had sufficiently developed their
abs.
Strong forearms were needed for punching and Bruce
spent a lot of time developing his.
His wife Linda had said he was always trying out any
new forearm program that came out.
6. Bruce Lee believed that the abdominal area was important to
help coordinate the rest of the body by providing strength and
balance and he spent a lot of time improving his mid section as
is evidenced by the photos of him.
In many ways it seemed as if Bruce Lee was ahead of his time
when it came to physical training.
