Jack Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Pushups do not only train your chest and triceps. They make use of your back, traps, hips, and legs too! JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
BlueDragon1981 Posted July 27, 2002 Author Posted July 27, 2002 Ya pushups work a lot of your body....I dont see pushups as discipline. They to me are benifiting my health. Most students hate them because they think they are being discipline by making them do something ( are we as a society really getting this lazy ) Did you know sitting in front of the computer and vidoe games helps your hand eye cordnation. The downfall is sitting in front of them to much. Hurts your eys and you dont get any physical benefits. It has also shown that stradegy vidoe games and RPGs have increased a persons ability to think quiker on their feet. So vidoe games arent all bad. They have a lot of non physical benefits. The problem is playing to much of them will make you fat because your not moving around and it causes stress on the eyes which in turn may cause headaches. ( 2 hours is probably the most you should spend at a time on a game )
KickChick Posted July 27, 2002 Posted July 27, 2002 Oh I'll help you our BlueDragon .... I've got tons of usefuls little tip! Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth when doing crunches. It helps to align your head properly which helps reduce neck strain. Keep your weight workouts under 60 min ... after that your body starts producing more of a stress hormone 'cortisol; which can have a testosterone and muscle blocking effect.

Martial_Artist Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 After a workout make sure that shower isn't a cold one. Your blood capillaries are expaned as well as every other blood transporting tissue and the sudden cold will cause them to constrict quite rapidly. Do so, in extreme cases can cause harm to the heart. I don't remember my source for this, but it was from a health magazine. MSG harms your nervous system. Aspartame is a toxin to the body, once ingested never leaves the system, no matter if you stop it is accumulative. The worst SIDE effect of Aspartme is death.
