Weekly Workout Progress

Serious as high blood pressure. I found an old Halloween basket of candy and got to work lol.

I'm sooo jealous but it's ok, the weekend is near and I plan to treat my stomach out to a grandiose supper.

 

Did you have that supper??

 

Nooo raining will ruing my hair

but i need to start soon not just once a week and then i give up until after few months for a day again :cry:

 

Having no kitchen for the past like 2 months have put a serious dent in my usual clean eating... Now comes the challenge to get back to that, it will not be easy. Argh.

Apart from my regular weight lifting stuff 3 times/week, I have added this twice per week:

25 burpees
25 regular push-ups
30 sit-ups
25 hindu squats
30 russian twists w 10 lb
20 hindu push-ups (dive bombers)
30 lunges
25 burpees
and then I walk at a setting of three w 2 12.5 lb weights for 40 minutes doing different arm exercises on the treadmill.

Another one is alternating 50 jump ropes and 50 leg flutters for 30 minutes, as many reps as I can.
Another is 20 seconds slide lunges (with sand bag) with lateral arm raises with weights (20 sec on each side), max effort x 8.

I have a few other of that type of work-out I switch between for cardio.

The MMA gym I go to have 2.5 inch ropes I work out with as well, that really kicks your ass.

 

Everyones falling in love with mma now



I haven't seen any ropes yet, but I do know we offer kettlebell classes. They look like 30 minutes of torture for the un-initiated.

 

What are leg flutters fg?

Have recently added some plyometrics... something different I can do anywhere. I need to mix it up, my body is tired and used to the same old cardio and weights I've had for awhile.

Getting a bit too soft around the edges and my fitness needs an amp up.. Any tips to shock my body into submission? Good old skipping rope probably a nice idea.

May just copy your entire resistance routine there fg.. Ahem. Learn from an expert!

 

Thank you hun!
The kettle-bell stuff really kicks ass, no joke!!!!!
The ropes are just as bad
Here is two:

Check out Bodyrock.tv or check her out on youtube, she has fantastic work outs for tightening up anything. Her cardio is fantastic.

 

Here is a nice kettle bell work out I do, kicks ass more than it looks like:

Ah yes I know what you mean now by the leg flutters.. Good for the lower abs.

Have been thinking of getting a few sessions with a trainer when I get home but it's just sooo .. White .. Which I am

I'll check out those vids, thanks. And maybe get outside with my guy more, he's such a nasty work out buddy!

 

I just started traditional martial arts again. Always felt like I got a better workout, maybe because the sessions are 2 hrs instead of the usual 1 for mma.

 

I don't know

I used to think that bjj was too short for an hour, but I was wrong. After class, gis are soaked in sweat because your exerting yourself to the max, unlike traditional arts where you don't go full out to prevent ko's and shit. Carrying someone elses weight around you while trying to get them off at the same time is exhausting

 

Very true. I guess I also like not being able to injure myself as easily. I'm no spring chicken anymore lol

 

I hope it's co-ed.

 

co-ed sparring seems to be pre-determined before hand

they dont get randomly assigned to dudes to roll a few rounds with like the rest of us

they either roll with our coaches or someone they already know

makes sense tho...i think i wouldnt go as hard or grab certain areas, which would give them the advantage

but yeah i go to work after class, so that hour leaves me sore enough to know i been training hard but at the same time leaving me in good enough shape for work lol

 

Forget Muay Thai! I think I found somewhere in my area that teaches sanshou/sanda. I'll be making a few calls.

 

How different is it from any other mixed martial art system? Theres a lot of acrobatics that are cool to watch but not practical in fights.

 

Sanshou/sanda (meaning free strikes) is the kickboxing/sparring aspect of kung fu that allows throws and grappling. No acrobatics there. I guess I'm pro-Chinese martial arts as there are so many bad schools and those that don't focus on sparring.

Here's a clip of Cung Le (the kung fu representative for MMA) - he's in the black trunks.

M.F. here's a clip from a school in your neck of the woods...

Interesting. I just signed up for Oyama Karate but maybe I can work in a class or two. I want to train for the kumite but I need to reprove myself to my Shihan which might take two years.

 

Kyokushin-kai is brutal stuff! Good luck. Right now, I'm trying to get in shape so I'd be in decent conditioning to start. For what I'm trying to do, it would help a bit.
