Training program

[Ben Martin]

Ok from next week thursday i finish work and have until september until i have to go back. i have all day every day to train. my sensei said to me on thursdays lesson that i can do all my kicks really well i just need to perfect them now. my goal is to get fit as i am slacking after 2 months of hardly any training as i was coming to the end of my colege course (which i compleeted yesterday and passed ) i also have grading in august and have the syllabus to practice from so my goal is to perfect that. im going to be fighting this really big stong guy when i go for my belt and i would let do gain some strength too.

my equipment is a weight bench and weights 2 thai pads and 2 focus pads. and i can only use the pads when my neighbour aint busy. i was thinking of doing a morning run doing kickboxing for 2 hours and in the afternoon do weight training for 2 hrs. any advice on what i could do.

Thanks

definiteli id recommend the cardio as it would help to keep u fit for the grading which would definiteli be an asset i.e. ur kickboxing and runs...in terms of weights, benching would help to strengthen your punches. I think u shud work on ur core also and abs every other day just to stabalise ur body thoughout ur exercises. The focus pads would do you some good obviousli for accuracy. Anyway well done for passing you college course and good luck.

A lot of it depends on where your levels are now . But if you really want a all around solid workout try something to this effect . ( change what you need to fit your goals )

RUNNING - daily . alternate between interval/sprint training and aerobic running .

ABS - daily

STRENGTH TRAINING - 2 to 3 times per week

PLYOMETRICS - 2 to 3 times per week

SKILL TRAINING - 4 to 6 times per week

This type of routine will help you build your skills and conditioning .

Also remember a good diet is important too

And take a rest day once a week . It does help .

Congrats on passing your college course . WELL DONE !!!

Thanks guys on the "well dones" it was bloody hard but worth it. fangshi what are PLYOMETRICS ive never heard of them. and how long would be a good time to run for? as far as a diet im on the spartan health ragime so i am quite healthy, so much so that a pint of beer gets me a lil drunk lol

Here is a link that has some good info to get you started

My personal prefrance on running is ;

SPRINT days 100 m . 12 to 20 times . 1 min rest . as fast as possible

INTERVAL days 400 m. 6 to 8 times . 1 min rest. as fast as possible

AEROBIC days 4 miles takes me about 1/2 hr

take fangshi's advice. This is pretty much what I was going to type. Thie only things I disagree with here are skill training and running - I would reverse them. skill training daily, running 4-6 times per week.
