In addition to that... will power would be good...\na good way to develope that is do your horse stance down low and keep a staff across your knees and dont let it roll off... how long you keep it will vary person to person...\nthe point is... when you want to get up... and you start to shake... you must accept the fact your body is weak...\nit will control your mind and make you stop squating..\nYou must control this urge to get up.. \nIf you start shaking... fine... shake till you just finally collapse you are so tired..\nbut never just... give in to the pain... \nthat attitude will transfer to all of your practice and you will advance at a much faster rate if you control your pain..\nnot to mention the strength benefits of horse stance....\noh yeah... \nHorse stance varies style to style...\nive heard it called center stance... or back stance.. \nIve seen with the toes pointed out.. semi straight and straight forward like we practice...\nToes straight is harder.. and you must widen your knees till they are directly over your ankles... with your back straight.. this will be hard...\nthe harder it is.. the more of a challenge you put on yourself..\nyou do it according to your style..\nbut... do push yourself till you are shaking ... and hold that for atleast 2 mins...\nif you get up...\nit gets harder... just stay low and hold it... lock the muscles in place... burn them...... overload principle..\nMind over matter.... you can control it.. i see it every day

I LOVE Taebo.  I have been using it for about 5 years.  I own the Get Ripped Series, Boot Camp, and now Boot Camp Elite.  I also own Winsor Pilates.  I noticed results with Taebo within the first two weeks.  However, it's important to mention that I also ate sensibly.  If you combine both Taebo and Pilates with a sensible eating plan you will definitely get the results you are looking for; but you must be consistent.  I have went from a 12 to a 4/6 and have maintained this for about 4 years and counting.\n\nFive days a week is reasonable if you are up to it.  Listen to your body, if it says rest than rest.  Start off with every other day and then go to 2 on and 1 off.  Eventually you will be able to do five days easy, but don't do too much to soon or you could become discouraged if you don't meet such high standards.  Set reasonable goals and when working out push yourself more each time.

the answer is simple keep paracisting ....\n\nthrow all ur punches carrying weights its like resistance training....\n\nwhile working on a punching bag concentrate more on speed than on how hard u hit cause power will come automatically....

it depends on what you are training for (health, competition, self defense). judo and jujitsu involve a lot of mat work and grappling. boxing is very good for cardio. karate is a good combo of most aspects. krav maga is great for self defense. aikido involves some mat work and joint manipulation. it also depends on how far you are willing to travel to learn. some people would travel 100 miles for class. most would only travel 10-15 miles. see what is offered in your area and watch a few classes. usually schools want you to sign a one year contract, so be sure you like what you see before you commit. some places offer seminars. some high schools and colleges offer community programs after hours for several weeks. expose yourself to as much as you can. good luck.

ok well do a few things\n1st do endurance runs (3 miles and more)\nWeight Room (dont forget arms as well as legs)\nField workout (suicides, slides, karaoke) Also for this do alotr of sprinintg then stopping. Build muscles in you groin and hipductors. also get strong calves\nFinally do 100, 200, 400, meter sprints. \nReally, any training (hard training) will make you faster but by doing this it will make you more efficient. Also stretch to lenghten your stride and make your leg thrust power strong (make you legs move faster called increasing turnover)

my coaches seem to like endurance drills. they are HOOOOORRRRIBLE but they take up some time and they really are helpful.\nThe one that seems to stick the most: Sprint from first cone 2 the second one (straight line) jog to the next cone (also straight line) Sprint up the hill, then sprint down  (obviously a little distance away) and at the bottom of the hill, do 10 pushups. from there run in for a grounder, throw it back, then sprint back to the first cone. Repeat for 10 minutes, but with younger kids you should adjust the pace and difficulty or the lenghth.\n\nFor drills try 6 on 6 offense defense, put the goalie in goal, have each defender pair up with an offender and start the ball with offense, like a mini scrimage because it starts out pretty close to the crease. its fun and it also teaches cutting skills. Relays are alot of fun too, and keeping one thing in focus, like one day, cradling and ground balls, and another day just throwing, a day of just conditioning etc.\ngood luck!

Periodize your training year. Start with several months of endurance training...working on building either the amount of time you ride a week, or milage. When you get roughly 1000 miles on your legs start working in some intervals, or more hill training a few times a week to increase your on the bike strength, and lactic acid buffering ability. \nRiding in groups that are slightly faster then you is a great way to push yourself when you are ready for it

You need to improve your endurance with aerobic activity, not just kung fu.  Try cross training with jogging, swimming, or biking for at least 30 minutes two days a week.  When your body gets used to longer workouts you wont run out of breath after 10 minutes.

stretch, then  go 3 minutes skipping,1 min abs, 3 min jump rope,1min abs, 3 min moutian climbers,1 minute rest/stretch, 3 min jump jacks,1 min abs,3 mtn climbers, rest/stretch\nthen shadow box for a while. every other day run. \ndrink lots of water,eat fish ,chicken.vegtables try to make sure what ever you eat is either baked, boiled or broiled.\nonce a week pig out BUT ONLY ONCE A WEEK if your not pigging out that day treat yourself to some cocktails only clear liquid alchohol though and only clear liquid mixers as well .its one or the onther though you cant get twisted that week if your eating gyros and fries on your freeday vice versa applies.\nremeber your not justraining your body your also training your mind; to go further,get stronger,fight hard and work hard! its a lifestyle  at first a little painful and it takes getting used to but youll feel like james bond one day im telling you. welcome to the world of gentlemen

To boost endurance and strength you should actually separate your work outs into different session.Long runs for endurance and sprints for strength.Long runs will obviously increse your endurance while sprints in intervals will boost strength by working fast twitch or white muscle fibers.Or you can use a plan like this all in one session.\n\n I've had the best luck with an intervalic aproach.Starting slow after a warm up and strtch,then a brief sprint in intervals.The logic behind this lies in the fuels used for both types of activity(aerobic and anaerobic) and the physiological (or biological) processes that take place.During aerobic activity your body mainly uses fat converted to glucose through either ketosis or gluconeogenisis.\nAnaerobic actvity mainly uses glycogen(stored carbohydrates) for fuel.This will eventually cause a lactic acid build up in the muscles.The slower pace after will help these acid levels disipate and the body buffer these acids to remake fuels like ATP(adenosine triphosphate) and glucose.The Krebs Cycle is involved to some degree here as well.\nYour nubers are pretty good right now.My suggestions would be the careful choice of your day before pre run carb up.Of course long chain carbs help most but the addition of fructose(fruit sugar) will be better for replacing and storing liver glycogen(long term glycogen storage).Fructose is four times moere effective in replacing liver glycogen than any other carbohydrate.\nOne supplement that seems to be of great interest in this particular forum is Beta Alanine.It has been shown in numerous studies to increase the buffering rate of lactic acids.\nI usually don't post links,but you can do a search for those key terms for more information.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/krebs_cycle...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/beta_alanin...\nDoing sprints in intervals will actually keep your body in thermogenisis for a much longer period of time once the work out is over(up to 15 hours) while you'll only burn fat during a long run for about the time you remain in the target heart range.

do some circuit workouts that involves lots of running around and jumping up and down. also, jump rope is a very good stamina builder. jump at medium pace for 5 min, rest 2 min, then do another 5 min

Just keep trying, eventually it will work. It took me about one year and a half to do it, and that was with going to Taekwondo four days a week. I moved and stopped trying so I can't go all the way down anymore. Just keep practicing and trying.

Hi and be blessed, I teach HapKiDo a corean martial art of self defense in the country of Panama and have been teaching this art for 29 years. The study of Chi or Ki as is called in Korean (Corean) is very interesting because it is a development that helps you besides increase the inner energy or life force, very important to learn it from a qualified teacher. \n\nThe best way to lear and increase your Ki is by breading and the best way is by inhaling slow and deep with out hearing the breath in your nose and exhale the same way out the mouth. It can be done in 4 basic ways: standing, seated, laying down or walking. \n\nYou must be patient ! To learn to increase the inner energy is a development thing so no rush. With time you will feel the Ki flow in your body, it is not a magic thing since all persons have Ki it is not an aout of this wold thing it is just some thing a person doing this activity dailly and with patience.\n\nAt first one must balance the breath. This means that the inhale and exhale must take the same length in time for example start wit 3 or 4 seconds inhale and balance the same exhaling and once this happens continue incresing the time span but make sure it feals confortable as you do this training since it really is not dangerous to do but it is a sencible thing to work with and it is true that doing it wrong can hert you like drinking water incorrectly.\n\nThis can be learned in HapKiDo, AiKiDo, TaiChi, Ki Gong or Chi Kung/Gong etc. Were ever you find the place and how to know if you found it is by doing this activity in a relaxful way ! Good luck.

Here's an answer I gave someone who asked about taking a martial art. Hope this helps!\n\nHere's what I would do:\n\n\n1. Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly what kinds of benefits you wish to obtain from studying karate/martial arts. It's a good idea to know exactly what you want to achieve.\n\n2. Go to www.smartpages.com and look up MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION in you city and state. It will tell you what martial arts are taught in your area and where the schools are located.\n\n3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look up their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.\n\n4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.\n\n\nSome Martial Arts:\n\nTae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.\nKoei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.\n\nKrav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.

Start with a check from your doctor and probably stamina training at a gym with some instruction/advice.

Time, just eat right, work out at least an hour a day on weight training 6X/week 3 days uppper body, 3 days legs.  Then, run sprints, 20 yard sprints X 30 reps/day for endurance and speed.  I also suggest getting a bicycle and riding 10 miles a day for the summer to build up your legs and endurance on top of the workouts.  Finally give your body a full day each week to recover, and never excersize the same muscle groups two days in a row as they need time to heal.  That way you can add bulk to your frame without hurting your body.\n\nDO NOT TRY THE "EASY WAY" AND TAKE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS.  They work, but are counter productive if you are interested in going further as success at this level comes by talent and hard work.

hey hun..i have love the taebo (kick boxing) videos. they have starter videos so you can learn the moves while you advance...plus Billy Blanks (the instructor and creator of taebo) encourages you through out the whole video like tellin' you to walk it out or grab you some water and pace yourself..He even encourages you to modify the moves to help you if you have back pain or any thang like that.(he is really in tune with what helps people) Unlike a lot of the other videos that tell you to just keep going...if those aren't good reasons to try then here is the best one...taebo burns 800 calories per hour work out....i wish you luck...love daisy
