What exercises will help with my martial arts training?

I have been doing Japanese jujitsu for a while now i was wondering what exercises can i do at home to help my training and increase my strength and stamina.

admin answers:

Some push-ups, other stretchings, etc are good. Also, the moves of the martial art themselves, if practiced , like for about 1/2 an hour continuous, are a good enough exercise to increase your stamina. And also, your precision.

Good workout routine for 5 days a week strength and cardio training??

I wake up at 6 AM, go to school, eat lunch (try to get enough protein in the food) come home, drink a 23g protein shake (whey) with water and eat an apple 30 minutees before I go to work out. On MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAYS, I will strength train for about 45-60 minutes. Then on TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS, I will NOT drink a protein shake, but I will run for 20-30 minutes.

Now, is this a good idea to both work on building muscle (strength training 3x a week and drinking protein) and losing fat on Tuesdays and Thursdays by running??

Or instead of working out 5 days a week, I do cardio AND strength 3x a week? If so, which one first? and Why?
I don’t have a lifting schedule…I like to keep my body confused ^_^

But, should I run before or after I lift?

Or, should I just run on a totally different day than lifting??

admin answers:

Weight train 2x a week, or break up large muscle groups 2x a week (legs 2x, arms 2x) except for sit ups which you should do every day. Run 3x a week. Increase length of time/amount of weight/distance every week by 10%. Exercise only lightly every four weeks to allow your body some rest and then start over again! Plus your body needs more than just protein… It does build muscle but make sure your getting enough of the other stuff too … You know fiber and carbs.

How to improve overall flexibility?

I want to add a stretching regimen to my workout. I feel that I am not flexible at all. I am within a healthy weight range. I work out 3-4 times a week about 30minutes of cardio in addition to strength training using dumbbells at home. The thing is I never stretch after I workout.
How long does it take to see some results? How often should I stretch? Should I do a full body stretch after every workout? Any advice is appreciated.
By the way, I am 21 year old female if it matters.

admin answers:

Well first if you are looking to gain flexability you have to strech after you have to strech after you work out. Streaching before will not help you gain flexability. You should streach all the areas in your body for overall flexability, make sure you go to the point where you feel a little sting and hold for 30 secs for max results. Don’t over streach thinking it will help as this will cause injury and uncomfort. Good Luck
