thanks guys.

sometimes around the house i practice what i learned in tkd and i can still kick pretty high... yay... lol. i'm working on coming up with a plan of what to eat and when and when i get to school this saturday i'mma find good spots to jog at. i like the hill idea..

^^ someone once told me that canned fruit contained excess sugars and stuff in the juice its in... so i dunno...

<~ 18

ok, naturally fresh fruit would be the prefered choice in a normal situation but my situation is that i'll be going to college for my first year this year and i cant easily get to the store without a car... and i know my mom would send me canned fruit in bulk to help me with my diet as opposed to fresh fruit that will rot quicker... so... find someone with a car and buy fresh fruit with money i'd hafta scramble to get, or have momma send me canned fruit?

gosh i'm learning alot tonight... i have the same problem as the guy who started this topic. i'm going to use all the ideas posted in here... thank you so much!

this post is very helpful... thanks alot.

thanks for the info, i'm interested in it myself.

thanks, i'll definately keep those tips in mind.

i make my own avatars...

hi... i'm new here, just like everyone else who started a topic in here lol. well i have a post in the "getting started" forum if you wanna see a small bio of me, but yea whatever... btw, i am a female, my name means "female ninja". though ninjitsu is cool, i dont really plan on becoming one... lol the name is pretty thats all. so yea... i'm looking for some friends...

in my first dojo we wore white... but when i had to find a new one (cuz the old one relocated without tellin me), they made us wear black. it was funny at first cuz i brought my old gi to the school and everyone else was in black lol... so i was the white sheep in a sea of black.

i know this probably isnt the place to post a "hi, i'm new" post, but i have a few questions so that outweighs the "i'm new" part of this. well lets start with a little intro... i'm 18 years old and i started taking tae kwon do at age 7. my dream back then was to one day be in the olympics for it. i had to have surgery on my ear right before i was about to earn my yellow belt and i needed 6 months to recover... and the school relocated without tellin me where... and i never took it back up again. aside from that, i havent really properly execercised in a while either... and i've gained quite a bit of weight. i'm going to college for my first year this year and they have a karate club/organization so i plan to join as soon as i get to school so i can get back in shape and get back involved with martial arts. OKAY... here are my questions: what types of exercise routines should engage in to help me get in better fitness faster? what type of diet is best? should i buy a gi now or should i wait til i shed some weight (i'd hate to spend money every 3 months on a new gi)? please supply any other tips or anything as you please... i plan to have martial arts as a part of my life til the day i die.
