so i know you have to have a good diet and low fat to see results--but say i did all that, how many sit ups should i be doing to get 6-pack abs or atleast some kind of results??? 200? 300? or more?

All of my years running (and it's been many of them), i have never listened to music when running. When i started running, portable audio wasn't really at the stage where you could carry it around. Anyway, i was at an electronics/hi fi shop yesterday to buy some dvdrs and i saw some really cheap tiny mp3 players (i already have a 600 dollar top of the range mp3/mp4 player, no way i would ...

so yesterday was my first time using a heart rate monitor. I went for a little half hour bike ride and averaged around 180bpm and max was 185. When I got home I changed, drank some water and then went for a short 1 mile run. On the run is where I noticed my HR was way high (I was going maybe 80%) I averaged 185bmp and my max was 196. Now according to that formula thats used to calculate your max...

I train 3 - 4 nights a week for about 3 hours a night. Needless to say I lose tons of water during training. For some reason no matter how much I drink before the workout or after I tend to have cramps in the middle of the night in my hamstrings and in my calf's. What can I do to stop this? Also towards the end of training I sometimes cramp up, what do you guys take or do to stop this from ...

I have been an endurance athlete my entire life. I have competed in several marathons and triathlons when younger, before switching to combat sports. Until recently, I have never worn a heartrate monitor while exercising so I had no idea that my RHR is extremely low and my HR during exercise is quite low as well. I have some questions regarding heartrate and exercise if you guys could help....

I'm a 16 year old high school junior who's conditioning could be better for a 6'1 157 wrestler. But i am also muslim and do fast during Ramadan. I can't eat from 5am-8pm. Even though i need to do conditioning i'm afraid of dropping weight like crazy since i cant consume food or water during that time. do you guys got any methods of conditioning without me losing weight?

I wonder if this has happened to you guys? I lift weights, train on MT and BJJ almost the past 3 months 4 days a week. And mind you, the past 3 months has been my first 3 months training in any sort of martial arts, but been active still with weights and basketball. I am not trying to become a fighter, I just really enjoy it, but I feel my body is getting tired all the time. My sleep and diet ...

I train in jiu jitsu, but like lifting as well. I used to do Men's Fitness workouts, but I use the gym at my college and it's crowded as hell. Today I went to do this "UFC Workout" that I used to do, but it's so crowded there, i can't be supersetting several different exercises, like benchpress/pullups or something. There's usually somebody using whatever it is that I need.

Long story short, my father is overweight, carrying twins, has health problems (HBP, and i am positive that he has diabetes at this point, as sad as it sounds, though he is afraid and refuses to get a checkup) For some reason he wants to start boxing, luckily they have special group classes for guys his age (50+). It's kind of weird he wants to do this all of a sudden. I told him that he ...

I've read through many posts here and would like to offer some general conditioning advice that is sorely needed in the MMA community and on this forum. I am a Strength & Conditioning Coach and have worked with many high level fighters over the last 5 years (probably more than just about every other strength coach out there), I'd like to help many of you who are frustrated with your ...

Ok, so I have been weight training for about a year now, but with pretty much no cardio or conditioning. I want to start training boxing, BJJ, and MT, but I know I need to get my conditioning up or I won't last more than a few minutes doing much of anything. I did some circuit training/corssfit type stuff, and sure enough I was sucking down air after 1-2 minutes of the fast paced stuff....

Hey guys, I was just wondering what everyone's experiences are with when you go to bed the night before a fight or competition. Would it be best to stay up late and sleep in so there is less time between waking up and weigh ins or would it be best just to go to bed like normal ( around 10 or 10:30) ?
