Little Gym Tips

As a beginner when you first go. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open !:good

 

As a newbie i try to stick to it. Being mouthy earns just about zero respect i reckon. As for physical gym tips im sure more experienced than me will be able to help

 

I usually start with shaking the limbs a little to get them loose (punching and kicking motions if that makes sense), after that some subtle rotating of all the joints. Then I jump around a little to get the blood going, rotate a little bit further, and slowly start running. The first part of my run is mostly cariocas because I tend to be stiff in the waist when I start.

 

Similar initial warm up to rdj - joint rotations, raise core temp, dynamic stretches then increase intensity gradually until you are good to go, for the majority of the gym work. For strength work, just ramp up to your working weights.

Always try to use your own gear - communal gear is usually in a bit of a state.

Don't try to copy other peoples styles - aim to perfect what you have to work with.

Don't kill yourself in the early going - intensity should be at or near to maximum, adjust the volume of your workout to your own ability.

Always have a couple of towels handy.

Listen to the coaches.

As mentioned earlier - ears open, mouth shut.

Always be willing to muck in and be a good club member.

Be good, and if you can't be good, be lucky

 

if you're going for a run ,walking first is a good way to warm up gently.
our boxing club was a mile, exactly, from my house,so when i'd trotted there i was ready.
that was 30 years ago,but one thing doesn't change,you still get punched,repeatedly.

 

always start with a walk , turning into a brisk walk, turning into a slow jog, progress to jog before running at your usual pace, well i always do this because i have a bad knee

 

nice one

 

eat two and a half hours before training

 

two and a half hours? i normally down a pretty solid meal about 1-1.5 hours before, i'm talking a solid feed of chicken and salad.

Why 2.5 hours before.
