Okay, Im heavily active in martial arts. We had a recent belt test, and my instructors yelled that i was out of shape. Let me tell you what we had to do.
Run 5 miles
500 pushups (sets of 30)
700 crunches (sets of 50)
400 jumping jacks
200 leg lifts
and a variety of other excercises including all my forms and 30 minutes of non stop, drag down fighting. I did awesome until the leg lifts, then regained my second wind for the fighting. Am i out of shape????

ok, you did all that and then got your second wind...good grief child are you a machine? Most people would have fallen down and died after, say, the first few pushups! You're doing great! The instructors are SUPPOSED to encourage you, and some doe it by yelling and fussing. Keep up the good work!

If you did all that, you're probably in great shape. Martial arts instructors are a lot like drill sergeants. They like to push you to your limits. You're in better shape than the average human, but perhaps your instructor wants you to be in better shape for his martial arts program.

Absolutely! Some people are just not cut out to be physically fit and you're one of them. Your instructor is being very tactful. Just stop embarrassing him and yourself. Take up crocheting. You'll be much happier.
