Went down to Ballinlough to Liam_B and the lads at Base BJJ last night for my first session and loved it.

I thought I was passably fit before last night but now I know. I even had a little dry retching session. The training was excellent, the lads were all sound and it didn't take long to relax into it.

It is addictive alright as I have heard a few people on here say, I'm already looking forward to next week. If I can cut down on the puking I'll consider that good progress.

Cheers Lads

Alrite Ken,
Your more than welcome for the session. I'm Glad you enjoyed it.The cardio is tough, but you'll be up ontop of it in No time!

Hope to see ya next week.

That cardio wasnt tough, was a walk in the park, sure i barely broke a sweat

I think i actually lost about half a stone in water weight last night, i couldnt stand in any spot too long or i might have drowned.

Ken, you did really well for your first class, i was on you left during the cardio and we did a few drills then together, a few more classes and you'll be well able

I hope so lol.

Thanks for taking the time to go through those drills with me Andrew. I've upped my own home training regime to try to get a little more up to speed for next week. I just have to keep telling myself "Whatever doesn't kill me will serve to make me stronger".

I wonder if Nietchze ever tried tabatas.......

No prob ken,

As for a fitness regime, ive been mixing and matching exercises for ages to see what works best for me. At the moment i do:

Thai boxing(best cardio on the planet)
Running(great for toning up)
Cycling(leg strenght + burn 1000 calories an hour)
Press ups, sit ups, squats(basic strenght)
Tabatas(great for puking)

I find it good to have aload of different routines, as im murder for getting bored.

Cycling, 1000 calories an hour?
I think you best check your fitness guide again there..

Im not a professional cyclist, but as far as i know im right. An average size guy 185-195lb burns roughly 1000 calories per hour of cycling, and by cycling i dont mean a leisurely ride in the countryside, On a racer and not dropping below 15mph for the duration of the trip.

I did 37miles in 2 hours last week, carrigaline-bandon-carrigaline. I dont have a calorie counter but ill see if i can pick one up, just to test it.
