My TKD instructor recommended it. I like bodyweight conditioning because IMO it maintains functional strength better than weight training. I have a brother-in-law who was always into fitness. When he was ~65 he said I can still bench press what I was doing 20 years ago, but my functional strength has really declined. That's kinda stuck with me.
I worked the CC program a few years ago and enjoyed real gains in functional strength. I think it's a terrific program, and I like that one can do it anywhere. Long story short: I had some health issues and personal turmoil and "fell off the wagon" and so lost the gains I'd made. But I'm going to resume training over the autumn/winter and hope to get back to where I was by summer.
Have you checked out the CC2 book? I'm curious about it but haven't purchased it.
