terretremblante Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I agree that a dojo or gym is better for correct technique and motivation, but right now I am just trying to quietly make a habit out of keeping fit. I know myself and I want to do this at home, but later who knows!Anything to get me moving again is fine at this early stage As for nutrition I couldn't agree more. I live in Greece and the mediterranean model is what I should re introduce myself to, and it's very easy for me to do and keep up. Working long hours broke my good habits, but I'm getting back on track. Maybe I'll stick to bodyweight and walking and not pursue karate, or maybe I'll end up in a dojo, who knows. This forum is a big help though.
RAM18 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 You say you hate cardio that leaves you dead. Sadly with fitness and exercise if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you....Even in Martial arts the delivery of technique can be very cardio intensive if performed correctly. There are no shortcuts to fitness bar hard work. That which does not kill us, must have missed us.- Miowara Tomoka
terretremblante Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Yes, that has always been a problem for me. That's why I'm focusing on calisthenics and walking. Maybe if I get into the fitness spirit, intense cardio will not seem so frightening
JR 137 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Yes, that has always been a problem for me. That's why I'm focusing on calisthenics and walking. Maybe if I get into the fitness spirit, intense cardio will not seem so frightening Most who don't stick with an exercise routine beyond a few weeks simply haven't found the right routine/exercise type. People get bored or it's too much too soon; and they don't have the motivation to keep at it because there's no fun goal they're working toward.I know you want to work out privately. If you've got a little bit of MA interest, maybe look into cardio kickboxing or a place like LA Boxing/UFC Gym? Don't get caught up in trying to keep up with others; just try to keep up with yourself. There's a very fine line between overdoing it and not doing enough. Everyone's line is in a different place.
