9-5 job..thai boxing..what other training do you do?

easyontheeye

hey,
just wondering what sort of extra training people do apart from thai or bjj and their 9-5 job. How do you motivate yourself? what sort of exercises , weights fitness do you do for your MA? are you in a gym or do you just run in the local park etc. I'm just curious to see how people find the time

None personally (hence my fatness) unless I'm training for a fight.

Nothingcompares

Depends. Do you have a family? Do you have any other interests? Cinema? Theatre? Scuba Diving?

Over the summer I worked 9-5 and I trained 5 times a week in BJJ, Judo and other bits and bobs.

Apart from Judo I weight train most evenings, and swim for 45 minutes most mornings and still manage to hold down a 9-5 job.

I was going a full blast schedule, training full out each morning, running after, and maybe training again in afternoon.

Hi
I train Mon - Sat. generally start the day with a 30-40 min walk with my dog
MA training twice / week. Weights once /week Body weight once/ week
Cycleing or swimming once/twice / week. I am lucky that I live in an area with hundreds of K's of bike/walking/running tracks. Virtually all the local parks have chin up, dip and sit up stations and its warm enough to swim for most of the year. I work full time 9-5.

When I hear about things like this and the public fitness amenities available in continental European countries I drool with jealousy and foam at the mouth with rage at the lack thereof in Ireland.:mad:

I wonder why we're considered obese and unhealthy? Oh yes, it must be because we were smoking in pubs, yes that was it.:rolleyes:

As for me, I do very little outside of classes. I run for the pure enjoyment of it once or twice a week and one of those sessions includes a bodyweight workout. I haven't touched a weight in 2 years, though I might again you never know. If I have something coming up I up the intensity depending on what it is but I rarely change anything.

work around your training!

When I was down in Rio De Janerio a few years back, all along Cocabana Beach and Impanez Beach, about every 500 meters there are work out stations for chins, sit up, dips etc.

On sunday they close the beach road to traffic, and people jog along btwn the stations and do the exercises. You see some very fit people down there.

Indeed, it rocks! Also the Olympic beach volleyball team (women of course) are there as you run (very slowly) by.
