The biggest problem is which is stronger...the mind or your body?
For those who excercise on a regular routine...their mind controls the body!
If you do not train often/excercise daily...you rather sit/eat/rest/sleep and do nothing more than anything else....than your body controls the mind!
Does this make sense.....for me my mind is still talking to the body...so for Body 9...Mind 3.....I don't know if I am winning or losing? Depend on which side is for you?
The body does tell the Mind "your own business" .........Aloha
ido my tkd stretches after my coffee in the morning. drink a glass of water and do 100 side bends sometimes i'll do sit ups, not always. afternoon: all my stretches agian and 300 center punches on the punching bag followed by 100 front snap kicks alternating so its 50 per side. same thing in the evening if i don't make a class but i ussually make a class a day other than the ones i teach. i'm not the healthiest person by any means though. i don't watch my diet and drink plenty of caffine and a few red bulls every day. i would say my endurance is affected by all the sodas and caffine.
I usually alternate between heavy weight/less reps and lighter weight/more reps.
Ab work is included at the end of every workout. As for the cardio, I'm not a big runner, but when I do run, its usually more of a jog. When not running, I'll walk at a good pace for 30 min. This is usually done on a treadmill. The road that runs through my condo complex is a 1/2 mi. around, so when I'm walking outside, which is usually done with the dog, I'll go around a minimum of 2 times to a max of 5. I do this at least 3 times before heading out to work, so I average at least 3 miles broken up.
I currently weightlift 3 days per week, full body, and do cardio 3 - 4 days per week. usually biking up and down hills.
I do karate (or teach) 5 - 7 days per week.
My downfall is not enough rest which is equally important as exercise.
Monday: Hapkido from 6-7, Karate from 7-9

Wednesday: Karate from 7-9:30
Thursday: Hapkido from 5-6, Karate from 7:30-8:30
Saturday: Karate from 11:30-2:00.
I also walk to karate and hapkido a lot - the two schools are like one BLOCK from each other, but they are a mile or so from my house. I probably walk 10 miles a week. I also go to the gym sporadically and run a couple miles.
