Break a leg...or foot.

I'd probably want to do that after one set of 20...let alone 4. Frog kicks sounds interesting...off to try it

I don't have time in the morning to do any work either...I run in the early evening and do other exercises late at night...before bed. I didn't think metabolic supplement thingies actually did anything...I suppose they speed up your metabolism?

Maybe I'm doing these leg raise things wrong, or just not very strong or something, but it's impossible to do them with your arms crossed over your chest rather than with your hands supporting your buttocks.

wow, what a lot of information in this thread. Waist twists and sit-up twists I know, leaning twists I can probably work out but what are frog kicks?

I'm shocked KickChick...you mean you don't work hard at work like I'm sure we all do? Naughty naughty.

strange...

Nice quote KickChick. You have some interesting ways of reasoning thaiboxerken makes good reading... are those women very little, or do you have a very big bed? Just curious.

I think most are orthodox

Scotland is nice...never visited Glenrothes but been to Dunfermline. Very pretty place. Thanks for all the advice. Special thanks to F-S-K for the offer...

That's a good lower ab exercise. I didn't know you were meant to do crunches/situps on an empty stomach...thanks for sharing that. I used to have a wheel like you describe...once you get the hang of it, it's quite good.

lol!^ Most of us probably run up and down the stairs 40 times a day anyway...and if any of you don't, it's not fair!

Yeah, I agree with DarkMonkey, a black belt is a black belt whatever the age of the holder...if you say that a kid isn't worthy of a black belt, then neither are the adults really, considering they're subjected to the same routines. It stands to reason that an 11 year old wouldn't really be able to beat an adult in a real fight, but that's not what the belts are about.

Isn't Matt Furey the combat conditioning fella?

Hmmm...could I be a groundhog? Only because I love the film. Well I'm soft so I'd be an um...what animal is soft? A cat? Hmm.

Or was that the "run" thing?...Hmm Ok, I'm leaving now...

sorry to be thick...but what if you are up against a cricketer?

still though...it stands to reason that if you take pain relief every time you have a pain, you'll weaken your pain-tolerance...and possibly become immune to that type of painkiller, as with antibiotics. Also, I know cough medicine doesn't "get rid" of the cough but merely holds it...so you still have the cough, but just later...maybe aspirin/paracetamol do that too.

Congratulations to you too Karateka on having a black belt.

circuit training helps to alleviate boredom

lol! ^^ Swimming helps to increase lung capacity.

Hi...and welcome back.
