The Conan Workout
So what is best in life Conan? Well the truth is that at the end of the day in today’s society it really just boils down to having a healthy, strong, mobile body! Trust me, if you have that then you’re way ahead of most. Additionally being able to wield a sword if it is necessary is not a bad idea either!

Knee Pop Cone Drills: 3 (Note: Perform knee pops by emphasizing the knee lift of the leg going over the cones. Perform over 8 to 10 cones. When each leg has gone over the row of cones that counts as a single rep! If you DO NOT have cones or the space then practice doing these by standing in place or by leaning with your hands against a wall.)
Agility 3 Cone Lateral High Knees (Heisman): 4×10 (Note: A single rep is counted when you move a complete distance from left to right or from right to left depending on how you start. Additionally if you don’t have cones available for use then you can substitute water bottles, water bottle caps, coins, or even chalk lines for the visible markers. Cones are ideal, but not completely necessary.)
Agility 3 Cone Linear Shuffle: 3×10 (Front to back) Note: Once again if cones aren’t available bottles, caps, coins, and even chalk marks will work.)

Brandon we should train our bodies as units not body parts correct?
My last question is this. I have a list of exercises to do. Goblet squats, deadlifts, squats, floor presses, kettlebell swings, kettlebell rows, power cleans, kettlebell clean front squat overhead press. I have mixed them all together. How can I split these up where I can train everyday?
Rick you can train whole body parts utilizing multiple joints, as well as single joint movements like curls and calf raises. However I would comprise the majority of my training based upon performing various movement patterns using multiple joints.
I would train using the kettle bell goblet squats, deadlifts, and front squats in much of the same way I’ve outlined here in The Conan Workout. The goblet squats are great way to warm up the hips and ease into the bigger more intense lifts such as deadlifts and squats.
If you noticed here in The Conan Workout this is all laid out for you as I also include kettle bell swing, cleans, and presses in one complex. This covers a lot of movement for a single lift. There are other workouts just like this one as well if you click on the Blog link and scroll down through the articles.
Rick I will be releasing these every week too with each workout including a different theme. Thanks again and this should help your training a great deal.
