So..
Ive recently been able to do a one handed pull up and a one handed push up.
Are there any other types of exercises that are trademark to a healthy and fit jedi?

Perhaps something like this is the next step for me?

Two, one-handed push ups, and two, one-handed pull ups?

Then shoot for three of each...;)

My one handed accomplishment was learning to write. :) Not very athletic but still a right handed accomplishment. ;)

Do you mean with or without using legs for the push up?

As to your question: the answer is no, there is not a signature Jedi exercise lest it be whatever works best for yourself! :)

With using legs, though I plan on training to not use legs as the original star wars had luke do.

Honestly, I just had to pop in to see what you guys were talking about. :whistle:

Also, I'm jealous. I can't even do a two-handed pull up. My upper body is weak and noodley.

I can't even do a two-hand pull-up! :blink: Lol.

Still, this doesn't really qualify as an "exercise" per se but it could be useful to a Jedi or anyone for that matter. About a year ago I started training to become ambidextrous. I'm right handed by nature but I began putting my right hand behind my back and using only my left hand to do all the vital activities of the day. I sort of dropped off, but I think I'm going to start back up again. I was getting pretty good for a while there, its very freeing when you can use either hand. That little bit of extra flexibility feels good.

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell

I wonder if being healthy and fit = doing one handed pullups or pushups. When I was very much overweight (like, 100 pounds overweight), I could do a one handed push up (actually, 20 of them).

I had enormous strength over my own body. Now, could I do a pull up? No. Now can I? Yes, but that's a result of training, not a goal for me.

I hold my fork in my right hand. That works well for me. ;) :laugh:

I do one arm lifts. Nothiing heavy but much more than the 12 & 16 oz curl. I find one hand lifts, though light by some standards, very stimulating. It gives the muscles, joints and bones something new to do.

20 one hand pushups! Very impressiive.

You're not a real Jedi until you can do this:


And this:
