My CC Plan
Here is my approach to getting started with Convict Conditioning. I’m also hoping that I can convince my wife to also start the program with me to provide some additional support and motivation.
I’ve built a notebook to use to help track my progress. I also printed and inserted the following picture into my book to help illustrate the form for the six moves. I wish I made it, but actually just found it on a google image search. Still, when printed on an 11x17, it is readable.
The Schedule #
I’ll be using a modified Veterano workout as described in the book. For reference:
**Day** | **Exercise** |
Monday | Pullups |
Tuesday | Bridges |
Wednesday | Handstand Pushups |
Thursday | Leg Raises |
Friday | Squats |
Saturday | Pushups |
Sunday | REST |
For the first few weeks, I’ll be do two exercises a day to start the initiation and also to hopefully progress through the lower levels if possible. For example, my first day was sufficient to demonstrate progression out of the the first stage of pullups, but not leg raises.
In addition, I’ll be adding some cardio work in occasionally, though likely with limited regularity. I hope that this will take the form of ultimately frisbee on Thursdays, though it might be a few weeks before I make it out to my first game. The dog could also use a walk, so perhaps I’ll treat him to a few of those too.

On second thought, not going to do before pictures until I don’t look like that guy anymore!
