Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery represent Dolph Lundgren in Extremely Active sports program Of course, if you now release this program on DVD, then on the cover, so to speak, for lure, it is better to write that such iconic Hollywood personalities as Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery (writer of the films Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Love, etc.) were involved in this film. The only amendment is that these people were invited by director John Langley only as production assistants, who knew them from video distribution. And if you think that there will be something like “Pulp Dogs”, then I have to assure you, this is just a sports program with Swedish Superman Dolph Lundgren.
Such sports programs began to appear in the 80s. So the hero of the militants Billy Blanks in 1989 even founded the World Training Center, where he teaches the technique of tai-bo (a hybrid of aerobics, boxing and taekwondo, which is practiced to music). Almost the same in 1987 tried to do another representative of the genre of action Dolph Lundgren. By then, he was known as Ivan Drago of Rocky 4. Well, with the release of this sports program in the same year, he also showed his pumped body in the fantasy film “Lords of the Universe”, where he acted no longer as a red threat to communism, but as a strongly positive character.
So, what is this sports program? Dolph Lundgren with painted white lips comes to the seaside, on a bicycle, his job is a lifeguard on the beach. Pamela Anderson will certainly not be in his assistants here (she helped people on the water a little later, Malibu Rescue came out in 1989), but other girls in tight tracksuits will appear at the end of the video along with Dolph on stretching. Among other people participating in this program will also be the actor of the genre of action Frank Zagarino, known for the role of android albino in the film “Project Shadowhunter”" also having in his arsenal his sports program.
The program consists of five stages
Stage 1. Warm-up. The easiest part of the program. It's gonna be harder. Warm up will consist of simple exercises that should be done slowly and slowly.
Stage 2. Cardiovascular, divided into 4 rounds.
Round 1. Since Dolph Lungren can box, in vain, that he was selected from 5,000 candidates in “Rocky 4”, that’s what you will do. As a rule, a round in boxing lasts 3 minutes, but see Dolph took as a basis two-minute rounds from the UK, this is the amount of time you have to box using various punches.
Round 2. Well, everything is simple: jump for two minutes through the rope, if it is not available, then just jump.
Dolph Lungren, with Frank Zagarina and Mark De Alessandro run three times 60 or 90 meters at a fast pace along the sea. Of course, the controversial part of the program, then the question arises, how to do this exercise? Or you have to go to the sea and do these races, but then you have to memorize the whole program and do it only there or do them in the gym. In any case, Lungren proposes to replace this exercise with a similar time running in place, well, nothing remains but to follow his advice.
Round 4. Almost equal to the first round, with only one amendment, for 2 minutes it is better to box on a pear.
Stage 3. Body sculpting
This stage will be the most difficult for some. So many exercises are performed in 4 sets of 16 times.
Exercise 1. Knead your legs. (Legs). Squats, 4 approaches 16 times. In each approach, change the position of the feet: 2 approaches of the foot put socks inside, 2 - out. For some, this number of repetitions will be difficult, but still try to fulfill them. In general, you will sit down 64 times.
Exercise 2. Walking attacks (lunges). The exercise is also performed in 4 sets of 16 times. During the exercise, keep your back straight and share a wide step with your hands on your belt. They took a step with one foot and returned to their original position. For trained people when performing this type of exercise, I advise you to take dumbbells in your hands.
Exercise 3. Ascent to socks standing (calves), thereby warming the leg caviar. The number of approaches is the same as in the first two exercises. In each approach, change the position of the feet: 2 approaches of the foot put socks inside, 2 - out.
Exercise 4. The most difficult set of exercises, as you have to do push-ups in 4 sets of 16 times. In each approach, changing the position of the hands.
Exercise 5. All exercises are performed on the floor and this time the abdominal and back muscles are warmed up, the number of repetitions in some sets will be reduced to 10.
Exercise 6. Last exercises in stage 3. The first standing side bends and the second trunk twists - lashes with your hands alternately left and right, are also performed 16 times.
After the third stage, check the speed of your heartbeat according to the table presented.
Stage 4. Stretching. There's nothing complicated about pulling muscles. Dolph Lungren will do this in the company of sports girls and will essentially partially repeat the first stage of exercise.
Stage 5. Stress management (Stress management) in this part of the program will already talk about how exercise can cope with stress in the workplace.
In general, a good program that can be performed at home, but it is advisable to buy for these purposes a boxing pear, a treadmill and a rope, but if you have none of this, it is not terrible you can do without it. All exercises are not very difficult, but the number of repetitions on squats and push-ups can knock you off track. Also in the program there are pleasant music and songs from the distant 80s, performed by Aretha Franklin, Jermaine Jackson, The Sluggers, and the composition of Tito Larriva himself, who became famous thanks to the films of Robert Rodriguez. You will take about 45 minutes to perform all the exercises and they will serve as a good warm-up before pumping muscle mass.
