I've been a Martial Arts aficionado since about age 12... That was six years ago.... Two years ago I was a third degree red in Tae Kwon Do... but since then I've moved from Okinawa, Japan, To Guam, to Florida, and all the local places here in FL offer a different style of Tae Kwon Do than I was taught, and now I have to start over....

I'm ok with that.. but I need help getting myself back in shape again... I need a martial arts/weight training/cardio workout plan (preferably Isometric or the like, because I'm quite broke due to college cost)....

The only thing I've been doing is an occasional kick or two, and some 1-5 day a week 1-8 mile run/walks...

I'm really unsure what to do.... I have a tri stretcher, and a punching bag, but the bag won't stay up for very long without falling down....

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.. I plan on starting Tae Kwon Do again in February or March.... If I find the right workout, I plan on doing it, in addition to taking classes.....

and please forgive my grammar... almost 1.am right now :P

Run your feet off. Ease yourself out of run/walk combinations and get solid miles in. Getting a good stamina base will leave you one less thing to worry about since going back in, you want to worry more about technique than anything else. Making sure you got the basics.

Get used to boring repetition also, throwing a few kicks every once in a while doesn't do you much good. If you're broke, I suggest doing calisthenics for now. I'm a broke college student too, I know how it is. Pushups/situps (and its many sister exercises), pull/chinups, dips, bodybuilders, squats/jumping squats, and anything else you have in mind.

Once you have stamina, mix in speed intervals to your running workout, 2-3 times a week, so you can rebuild your anaerobic base also.
