Will this work-out WORK OUT?

[Lucas Areias]

In general it's good to train for your results. Want to run a fast mile? Run a mile. Want to train to take hits and give hits? Then spar a lot.

Your routine looks fine for general fitness though.

Hi Lucas,
Welcome to Martial Talk. Go over to the Meet and Greet...introduce yourself.
I think it's great you are wanting to do more for your training. What martial art are you training?
Talking with your sensei about your goals, short term and long term is an excellent thing to do. Your instructor should be able to give you some advice as to what exercises you could be doing to help you attain your goals and that would be helpful toward your martial arts development.

thanks Danny, im kinda a noob in this site

This is the best one in my area, and my sensei told that later, whe are going to have at least 3 trains a week (mostly because of the sensei's agenda, thats why we have a once a week training.) As for my specific art, im looking forward to karate, specificaly Uechi-Ryu.

Then be patient and in mean time is there not a local gym you could go to or even as your 15 your High School coaches as they should have the knowledge to set you a program that will not hurt you but improve you

 

[jobo]

Bro he 15 he gotta be careful as jeez he could do damage going solo on things he way better seeking pro help in person rather than looking to the net ....yeah loads of good advice and experienced teachers here but he a kid !!!

But I've seen 15 yo playing soccer, they are not made of porcelain, but the point in trying to make is a scatter gun approach to fitness and diet with no intended out come is a best inefficient, and quite possibly counter productive,

A pro coach won't be able to set a program to suit his goals unless or untilun t knows what his goals are

Yeah hence I said go seek a pro for one on one advice

No I doubt the young lad is made of porcelain but playing football (soccer) is a different thing to MA just if he goes it alone he could do himself damage that he will regret in later life

Lucas ignore what I'm saying to jobo lol it meant not to put you off lad

 

[Lucas Areias]

So i made the following changes in my plans:
-no fasting
-gonna ask professionals on the area (nutricionists, senseis, etc)
-take it slow (kinda dificult, got really excited )
What do you all think?

He is talking about a fitness program, not scaling mount Everest,

What do you all think?

Just buy a pull up bar and a skipping rope

 

[frank raud]

Kinda, i still have some fat to burn, but overall, im not really worried about that. As i said, i want to get stronger and more resilient, so i can hit and withstand a hit. Also, i want flexibility , expecially for my kicks (even though my legas are more muscular than my arm, i cant extent them that far, resulting in some awkward and strange kicks)

You want flexibility, especially in your kicks, so you are going to devote a whole 45 seconds to stretching your legs?

keep the enthusiasm and keep your goals they are great and be proud of them just seek pro guidance before you undertake any nutrition program or hard workout schedule

If anything they need to be less careful. Us old men heal slow, 15 year olds bounce back from everything fast.

Make sure you dynamic stretching it works better to warm up. Personally i wouldn't fast if you are doing a exercise routine unless you have any outstanding religious requirements.


Caution is good, you dont want a life long injury at a young age.

 

[dvcochran]

Got it. What exacty should i eat to build muscle? I heard from my friends and relaives that eggs, fish, chicken, potatoes and some lettuces build up muscle, but is that right

Your friend is pretty close. If weight is any issue at all you need to keep the carbs low for now. Keep all the other foods listed. Greens are very good but learn to eat them without dressing. Greens alone don't provide much energy but they are like lime to fertilizer, the greens help everything else work much better. If you are really doing the workout you listed your body will need to be feed daily. Fasting will not be necessary and likely counter-productive. A one step forward, one step back scenario. Plus, if you are using that much energy you will feel like crap if you do not properly replenish. Also, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Fasting is not a good idea. You need food to build muscle. It's like a car without fuel if you don't eat.

Intermittent Fasting is ok.

Many studies show fasting for 10-12 hours during nighttime hours and eating during daytime hours such as 7a.m. and 7p.m. is healthier.

Yeah they do for sure , I just have the opinion that if your set up with a program that has been worked out by a pro then it has a better chance of success and also they can monitor progress from a logical an non emotional stance, Doing it ones self then well not the best as if ya hit a plateau or what you think is a plateau it way harder to get over ....eg weight loss a person is going at it hammer and tong and guess what the weight either isn't dropping or indeed has gone up ......well that may induce some kind of plateau ...but in reality it isn't as muscle is heavier than fat ........

Kids need to be set of on the right path (ok if they don't stick to it that is their look out) but a kid like the op who has all the get go is a prime candidate for a good teacher to take under the wing and work with there by setting him on the right path so he can achieve his goals

Have you found a school yet and are actually training? or are we still in the I'm looking mode ?

@Lucas Areias I am rather inclined the think a good instructor should have learned on his way up to 4th Dan or above, the best workout routine for the art he teaches. That may be tempered by the amount of class time available. He should then encourage students to work out at other times, probably close to the start of class on class nights, but other times as well. Especially stretching all parts of the body. But that advice comes from me, a person who is a Hapkidoist. And the point of that is that stretching (and exercise) should be geared towards the needs of the art.

So you can look anywhere for things that you want to incorporate in your exercise routine. Run them by your instructor if your instructor isn't already teaching them. If your instructor says not needed or dangerous, listen, think about it. You may still want to do it but start very slowly and very slowly up the ante. It may start to cause problems so back off or stop.

In my art we began with a lot of stretching: neck, elbows, wrists, fist, torso, back, glutes, groin, knees, and ankles. Not every art needs that to the extent we do.

Your enthusiasm is good. Don't give it up. But do be sensible. Set goals and then as time goes by try to exceed them.

There seems a American thing if consulting an " expert" for the simplest things, that I've noticed sneaking in to this country, there is no gaureentee, that a karatee instructed or someone who call s themselbe a a coach or a personal trainer knows anything beyond the bare basics of fitness science or as is common trot out some outdated concept.

Fitness is a by product of doing things, do things get fit, do more things, get fitter, there's a direct causal relationshipor the problem with have as a,society is getting people to actually do thinHe at all, what most people need a coach or a trainer for us to provide the motivation to do things, do more press ups, do another lap, when that in its delve may be counter productive. Enough is enough, when your body says stop, is generally the correct place to stop,

G'day and welcome to the forum .

Yeah depends on your goals, but I really just wouldn't recommend any fasting to you... you're 15, even thinking about fasting is too much IMO! You're still growing and developing, do your training for sure and just eat sensibly. Make sure you have sufficient protein (even carbs are important), but yeah I wouldn't do anything that drastic and I wouldn't think it necessary at all at your age bud.

And for sure it's great to be enthusiastic, but take it slow, enjoy your training, and alter food accordingly along the way. Extremes I've never been a big fan of. And 'IF' isn't necessarily extreme, but I just don't see the necessity for ya.

As you're probably going through major developmental and hormonal changes, a balanced, healthy diet is important to help facilitate that. Plenty of water, vitamins and minerals, and if there's only dojo training once a week, maybe ask your instructor what you can work on at home as a second session, he would have a fair idea and be able to help setup a good routine.

Fasting is not a good idea. You need food to build muscle. It's like a car without fuel if you don't eat.

God that reminds me of that guy who'd starve himself for months then binge eat and try to convince us he was healthy....no idea what his martial art experience was but there we go

Ahhhh good ol Doug... miss that fella's enthusiasm huh... XD

@Lucas Areias I meant to add in my reply above that if you decide to do exactly what you first described, I would suggest rather that doing repeated sets of things like alternating pushups with other exercises, you might find it better to increase your count by 5 reps every week. Do that until you get to some amount like 100 or so, then keep that as you maintenance amount. If you want more later you can again follow that routine. Just what I found worked for me. YMMV
