Kaju_influenced Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 I don't care about being sore. I just hate it when it prevents me from doing other stuff. Like when my abs are sore if I sit up at all it hurts like hell.NO PAIN NO GAIN! "Sweat more in the dojo,bleed less in the street"Kajukenbo fighters axiom.

chh Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 I think maybe there's some terminology confusion here. Generally to a martial artist, crunches and push-ups aren't called "conditioning." Conditioning usually refers to some activity that toughens your body, like punching a makiwara, kicking a heavy bag (or tree, or whatever) repeatedly with your shins, etc. If you're talking about basic abs work, push-ups, perhaps some cardio (are you still running?) and stuff like that...well, learning a martial art does involve exercise, if you really don't want to do that sort of thing....?
jmy77 Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 you should be more worried about working your back, shoulders legs and abs. your back, legs and abs are your core and are by far the most essential areas to work out. Big biceps are for the beach.... Soreness is a fact of exercising. This is the third thread (that i have seen) that you have started about exercising and pain and is it worth it... If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres. Theodore Roosevelt "You don't have to like it, you just have to do it." - Captain Richard Marcinko, USN, Ret."Do more than what is required of you." - General George S. Patton"If you have to step on someone else to stand tall, then you truely are a small person." - ?
