Energy Drinks
For me i just drink water, gatorade, and Sobe. I've heard that you do need to watch out though for energy drinks because they can cause you to pass-out if cosumed too much.

Most important muscles required for punches and kicks?
I agree with all the other posts on which muscles that work for you. Another grop you might want to add is the neck muscles, esp. the sternocleidiomastoid (sp) ( the main neck muscle for moving your head down). It would be handy in case you need to head-butt someone. All you need to do for exercises is rotating the head, turning it from side to side, etc.

The start of wrist problems from push ups
If weak wrists are a problem....I learned that to build strength in them is to use the weights that look like miniture dumbbells and move your wrist back and forward (no side to side).

Scarriest moment in your life?
When I rooled my dad's 4-wheeler 2 weeks ago. We bought it in June and haven't even made the first payment on it. At least it only got scratched. I had a lot of bruises though. But I did have a helment on!!!!! Or else I might have been knocked out or in the hospital.

How old is everyone?
Already turned 16 this month. But I have never liked the age 16 for some reason.

Workout
Where I go to kickboxing was flooded and I still want to stay in shape. I still do stretches and push-ups, but don't have any weihgts or punching bags at home. So what do you all think might be some really good exercising combinations for arm, stomach, leg, and overall toning.

AB advice!
In anatomy I learnded that the part of your body that's the "six pack" is just tendons and the only way to be able to show it is to loose the fat that covers it. So also that they can't be built like muscles can.

Knee
Thanx for all the help all! But what I meant by "leg extensions with weights" I meant the using the weight machine. Sitting on the bench, hooking your legs under a pad and lifting your legs. Sorry about the confusion.

Knee
When doing kicks or leg extensions with weights, my right knee tendsto hurt right below the kneecap. I figured it might be from the times I hyperexstended my knee on the trampoline though even now days just walking my knee wants to give out. This is mostly a problem if I try to do a left side thrust and left round house kicks. My instructor said that I should look into getting a knee brace. Any advice would be much appreciated. P.S. I don't know if this would factor into some of the problem, but my grandmother and her daughter(my aunt) have had knee surgeries.
