steveb Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I'm curious as to how many people on this board do cross training. For instance, in addition to my MA I also run 2-3 times/week and cycle 1-2 times/week. Anyone else care to list their activities? Res firma, mitescere nescit
foreveryoung001 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I like to do some running... I don't have a regular routine for anything outside of my MA workout, but I do try to do something different at least once a week. I like to get in the pool too, but I'm a lousy swimmer, so I don't know if you could call that cross-training, as much as trying-not-to-drown training. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.
Rich67 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I train, do moderate aerobics 2 times or more a week, and weight train 2-3 times a week. Mixed Martial Artist
Vito Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 not entirely sure i understand the question... but i life two to three times a week if thats what you mean. (i wanna get bigger!!!) "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." -Machiavelli
steveb Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 The question was meant to ask what other types of exercise besides MA people do and how often they do it. That would include running, swimming, weight lifting, etc outside of the dojo. Res firma, mitescere nescit
Red J Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Running 3 times a week. I usually do 4-5 miles 2x a week followed by a long run of 6-10 miles on Saturday or Sunday. I'm currently preparing for my black belt exam and a half marathon (13.1 miles). I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Thruhiker Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I will do aerobics, weight train, or practice my martial art every day. Except the weekend (family time)

I want to get stronger. Rank: Low-Black
