beatles girl 7 Posted October 16, 2012 So I have had some trouble with getting enough exercise at home and I talked to my nurse practitioner today and she said I would be allowed to do karate since I am 4 weeks out now so I am joining tomorrow. Anyway I was wondering what are some of your most favorite ways to exercise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COsleeveDude 273 Posted October 16, 2012 I started doing Krav Maga recently. Similar to karate, but more practical and geared toward fitness and real-world self defense: I also play tennis when I can, which is great for getting in shape. Short bursts of running, gives you time to get your wind vs. straight jogging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted October 16, 2012 Karate sounds great. What dicipline are you taking? I think I'd hold off on sparring for a few more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted October 16, 2012 Karate is great exercise, fun too. Boxing workouts are great. I won't risk busting those incisions so I won't spar for a year at least, maybe more. When I can do crunches and push-ups without discomfort, it may be time to get it on. My brother achieved 5th degree black belt staus in Tang Soo Do which he learned in Korea and ran a dojo for years in Iowa. He has spoken to Chuck Norris who was of the same discipline originally. He gave his little brother free lessons but I didn't learn enough to belt. Now you got me thinking about starting up again. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu2020 79 Posted September 24, 2015 Question- haven't had surgery yet. I do Krav 3 times a week. How long will it take post surgery to get back in class? I am think about Water intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
