USSR Army Parachutists AB training

Strong AB muscles is very important for military parachutists. When jumping on low height with parachute human body experiencing huge load and impacts from air streams.
Here is a very simple yet very effective training set used by USSR Army.

Set is made of three exercises:


 1. Body lifting


2. Legs lifting

3. AB jumping


You have to do following without having any rest: 
  1. Repeat each exercise 30 times without any rest (30 + 30 + 30)
  2. Repeat each exercise 25 times without any rest (25 + 25 + 25)
  3. Repeat each exercise 20 times without any rest (20 + 20 + 20)
  4. Repeat each exercise 15 times without any rest (15 + 15 + 15)
  5. Repeat each exercise 10 times without any rest (10 + 10 + 10)
  6. Repeat each exercise 5 times without any rest (5 + 5 + 5)
In our case, we will have to move Fitnastica counter to the leg when doing exercise number 2 then back to arm, this could cause some "rest" delay. But it is OK, we are not military parachutists :-)
