Bratt Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Im not a morning person, but I'd like to start getting up earlier and train just so my day goes by a little better than it usually does. I was wondering how long a morning training sessoin should last, what kind of excercises I should do, and about how many reps are good to get you going...

G95champ Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Its hard to do but I used to lift at 7am for about 2 months. I felt so good durring the day. However as a month and then a few weeks went by I found it harder and harder to go early. That extra sleep just felt so good at the time. LOL Good luck. I went about one hour. (General George S.

Bratt Posted October 24, 2002 Author Posted October 24, 2002 Thanks for the advice G95champ. I know exactly how you feel about the extra hour of sleeping. It is quite hard to train early. An thanks, Ill need all the luck I can get lol "Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make" -Bruce Leehttp://www.myvidtodvd.com/mysmilies/otn/other/leseratte.gifhttp://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/contrib/xerx/smileystooges.gif
G95champ Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 I have and still do MA classes early on Saturday. Arround 9am and go to noon. I find this relaxing but at the same time when I am up Friday night I am constantly thinking man I got to go train in 7 hours. LOL.... (General George S.

Red J Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Getting up earlier than you have to is tough. The biggest hurdle is getting out of bed. Good luck. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
ZeRo Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 awww bed, nice and warm its the same with me training before i go to bed. its hard coz im tried.
Bratt Posted October 25, 2002 Author Posted October 25, 2002 Getting up earlier than you have to is tough. The biggest hurdle is getting out of bed. Good luck. Amen to that. Getting up early is way hard. Come to think of it, It's only 7:30am and im still not awake yet I know how you feel G95champ. I used to have classes that early too until they changed the times. Thank God for that!

ramymensa Posted October 25, 2002 Posted October 25, 2002 AAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGHHHHHHHHHH Getting up early I hate it and never tried to train at "small" hours I've heard from others that it would be a good idea, but my bed seem more attractive at those times i train in the evening after being away from home hor 12 hours, hungry and exhausted. But it's still OK. I usually go home from karate revived and feeling better. Maybe I'll try this getting up and training program. It would mean I'll have to go to bed earlier World Shotokan Karate
Bratt Posted October 27, 2002 Author Posted October 27, 2002 I tried waking early today (it's a Saturday, and I know most of you are probably "Dear God!! Waking early on a Saturday!! Are you freaggin nuts!!" And believe me, Im beating myself up for doing it ) Anyway, I woke at 6 and decided to do a few standing leg stretches. As I went down to touch the floor with my hands I hadn't noticed I was very close to one of our counters. Of course, the dumb-@ss I am, I bashed me head on it, fell over to the floor and didn't wake up until 10:30 when my mom found me laying there on the floor. I don't know if it's the blow to the head or the extra hours of sleep I missed that just made me pass out till 10:30.All this to tell you...Im not waking early for training ever again!!
