How do I condition my body for breakdance??

Question

I want to learn powermoves, but my body is not at that high physical level yet. I'm 5'9" and weight 155 pounds & 10 percent body fat. However, what kind of training should I do to master powermoves?? Thanks.

Answer 1

aerobics (running, walking, biking)

strength (crunches, push ups, squats)

balance

Answer 2

As a break dancer or Bboy, the main thing is to condition the upper body.  The torso is not only your center for balance, but also the source of strength for most moves.  

May I suggest:

- crunches (including twist varieties to get the obliques)

- push ups (various ways, two hand, tricep/bicep focus, also do some with hands in fists which will improve wrist strength)

- headstands (play w/ them, trying staying on your head and moving your body in different directions, helps w/ balance)

Here is an AWESOME website with suggestions:
