Keys to training well
 So you want to improve your image, get fitter,
be stronger or just become a better martial artist?
You do? Awesome - so how do you go about it?
What should you do to achieve your goals?
Have diets and training programs failed in the
past? Do you know why?
These are a collection of tips and advice I
consider essential to your training and overall well-being:
Everyone has the ability to change their lives
for the better. You have the power to change - you have to believe in yourself!
Positive self-talk is crucial to reaching your potential. Set goals; set
achievable goals; then set bigger goals. Set short-term and long-term goals.
It's important from the
very beginning and throughout your training to experience victory in each and
every workout. Don't set your sites too high too early. You won't be able to
look like Arnie or be world champion in a few weeks. Determine the methods of
achieving your goals and identify problems that may occur - and how you plan to
deal with them.
Never forget why you want
to improve! It's your life remember!
Order
your training sessions appropriately throughout the week - allow enough recovery
time between similar sessions. Order each training session appropriately -
include a warm-up and cool-down. I would suggest: chest, shoulders, back, arms,
legs, before finishing with mid-section (core/abs).
If you want to improve, you'll have to stick
at it. There is no substitute for time and effort. Just as you shouldn't plan
to go on a diet, you shouldn't plan on a short fitness routine either. Make
lifestyle changes - and then stick to them! Changing is not going to be easy,
but it can be achieved with discipline and persistence and determination!
Your training must not
become drudgery or a chore that has to be done. This is negative energy,
producing negative results and must be willfully resisted. Keep a positive
attitude, keep your training sessions interesting - have energetic music
playing! Learn to love the feeling you get from a good hard session!
