kaster Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 My needs are:Stretching exercises for flexibility and freedom of movementexercises for strengthening my musclesexercises for endurance ( I have an exercise bike, does that work?)At school it's 3rd quarter and I don't really have much time. I can maybe put one hour max each day. I don't need to have all of them in a session though. Maybe I can do stretching exercises the first day, then strength exercises next. I also wanna get thinner, because I'm fat and I admit that I don't want to be this way the rest of my life.
tallgeese Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Work at home can be really benificial for you. As always with these threads, I'll refer you to crossfit.comIt's a great site built around total body fitness and integration. It focuses on practical fitness and uses lots of core training and gymnasitc type exercises. It should fit the bill very nicly for what you're looking for. in thers mof strenght and cardio. I haven't found a better training suppliment for ma out there.Take the people posting over there with a grain of salt. Some of them are pretty rabid. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
joesteph Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 The exercise I get at home is really karate-oriented. It may be lower in physical demand, like hyungs, medium, like leg raises and stretching, or higher, as in kicks against a WaveMaster and hand strikes against BOB. When I look over the Martial Artists' Training Log, I see what I do at home that contributes to overall health, and it's really preparation for the demands of my martial art, from which I gain exercise when I'm in class. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu
bushido_man96 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Ride you bike for 30 minutes at a time, and vary the intensity, based on how you feel. Then, stretch afterwards. Sets of squats, crunches, push-ups, and burpees will work wonders for you as well, if you don't have any weights.I can explain some wall kicks later, if you like, too. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Their fitness program has proven (not just been theorized to be) so effective, it has become a way of life for me. Increase work capacity over broad time and modal domains.

Tiger1962 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I agree that the exercise bike is good for exercise (especially if you have any pre-existing injuries you have to be mindful of), also the treadmill and my favorite the ellyptical trainer are the three best for endurance, burning calories and overall cardio health. Stretching out and doing your forms repeatedly (as in one right after another with a short breathing break) will have dual benefits: increase endurance and perfect your form skills.

Traymond Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Well I was going to refer you to crossfit as well...but...to many people are doing that already...http://www.shelterpub.com/_fitness/_stretching_in_the_office/online_stretches.htmlthats a link to a page on stretching people can do in their office at work. Its easy and helps with your wrists and deltoids and back if done correctly...just something to take a gander at. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku
Yos Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 You can stretch while you are watching TV and the commercials are on, while you wait for the chicken to thaw, while you talk on the phone, or ... you get the idea. Also, and hour is all you really need (if your workout last more than an hour, I would say you a resting too much). I suggest you experiment with many forms of exercises (calisthenics, weights, jump rope, running etc etc) and find one that you find which are somewhat fun. It will be easier to stay consistent- which is the key, my friend.
Traymond Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Also, and hour is all you really need (if your workout last more than an hour, I would say you a resting too much). .I agree with what you say about an hour maybe all that you need, but I disagree with the part about it would be that your resting to much. To stretch would be good for walking up an incline, going on an elliptical (Yes they are good for your hamstrings, and the tendons in your ankle), stretching can be done with any other martial arts training. Do it for a full 20 minuted before you start your initial martial arts work out. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku
Kuma Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 A good yoga DVD can do wonders for you. Ride your bike and do the yoga workout one day (usually no more than 20-30 min), the next day ride the bike and do bodyweight stuff like pushups, situps, squats, etc. Take one day off a week. Should cover pretty much everything you need right there.
