Answer 2

The dude that said jogging is dumb is an idiot... He is obviously talking about doing lactic tolerance training (or bucket training as I like to call it), however one thing that he seems to be forgetting is that LSD (long slow distance) training is the best way to build the aerobic system, and guess what my friend, the better your aerobic system is the better your lactate threshold so the longer you can operate in the lactate zone which is what you need for fighting, so if you don't do at least 1 session of low intensity cardio training per week then you are a nob and as jogging, running or skipping are really the best ways to workout in the cardio zone and skipping is hard to do slow and for a long time then I'd say running is your best bet here.

The other information that he gave was great though... Also put in some swimming for active recovery, it'll also help you to learn to regulate your breathing which is very helpful particularly in ground fighting.

Answer 3

1....Jogging is a waste of time while training for fighting arts....yeah yeah the old school guys do it...its just not a good exercise....its just DUMB for doing energy system work

The better alternative being ....run sprints...or do sprints on your bike if you have one handy

heres a sample cardio routine for a week

Monday — Interval Training — perform 8 to 10 fast 45-second intervals with 1-minute recovery periods in between.

Wednesday — Fast Paced — perform 20 minutes of continuous activity at 75-80% of your heart rate max.

Friday — Continuous Low Intensity — perform 50 minutes of continuous cardio at 60-70% of your heart rate max.


2...Theres always the Tabata method...where you take a compound(multi joint) exercise (such as jump squat/push up/chin ups) and perform them for as fast as you can for 20 seconds...followed by 10 seconds of rest...and repeat for 4 minutes....this might sound easy on paper....but it'll be the longest 4 minutes of your life if you try it...and finish

3...theres also bodyweight exercises when done properly

These can prove to be an excellent workout

For instance this leg workout is bound to have you feeling it for a couple of days afterward

1 set being
30 Squats
15 lunges(each leg)
30 jump squats
30 second hold in squat position

and repeat 5 times

you can also do
Pull ups
Push ups
Dips
Muscle ups(where you do a pull up into a dip)

4...Combinations of the first 3

A: Push up-pullup-repeat...for however many you can do

B: a workout of 20minutes(or however long you last) where you get as many sets as you can of the following

8 Pull ups
20 Push ups
30 Squats
If you cant do that many cut it in half...you'll find it extremely hard

C: Sprint 200-400 Meters perform 8 pull ups, 20 push ups
Repeat

Have fun and mix it up and you should be fine

Answer 4

Try Nordic Walking, it gives a work out at least as
good as jogging/walking but with less stress on
knee and ankle.and a bonus of an excellent upper
body workout. other freestanding exercises can be added during short stops round a circuit.Try it ,it's great fun.

Answer 5

Exercise balls are great. They build your core strength and everything comes from there.

If your doing competition I used to do an exercise which was good for conditioning, strength, explosive power and really gets you fit for rounds, with no equiptment. Go to a quite street or field, mark out roughly 20 meters. SPRINT from point A to point B, down 10 press ups. Sprint back, down 9 press ups, sprint back, down 8 press ups, and so on 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 sprint back to end. Time yourself and try to improve on that each time. Sounds easy but give it 100% and you'l be knackered.

Answer 6

a lot and many suicides! decrease to and fro decrease to and fro! I also do a lot of wall sits and bounce roping. higher body workout will also benefit you. i like to recommend doing round seventy 5 reps to stay in structure an afternoon. that's mandatory to have arm power also so attempt performing some pull ups:)

Answer 7

Jump rope. Suicides. Pushups. Situps. Stadium steps.
