Goals and fitness

We all should have goals that we set for ourselves. I have goals for my home inspection company just like I have goals for my health and fitness. The goals can take many different shapes (by shapes I do not mean flat or fat stomach).

One of my goals regarding health and fitness is to gain a stripe on my Brazilian jiu jiutu belt. I realize that for that to happen I will have needed to spend some time at the martial art school weekly and rolling with the other students. This goal of earning another strip on my belt is a way to measure my fitness level. I know that I can not easily earn a stripe by being lazy or fat. Attaining this also helps to achieve the goal of exercising a number of times each week.

Some of my workouts are home workouts which I find very time efficient and inexpensive since I know how to train the entire body with little more than body weight exercises for BJJ Brazilian jiu jitsu.

As I progress in rank and get fit I will rake in the benefits.

Brazilian jiu jitsu class tonight

Attended class tonight and we practiced side control and a couple of submissions from that position.  Then we drilled that position for time. What we practiced was trapping the far side for a straight arm lock and we also drilled the kimura from north south position.

Last part of the class we rolled as if in a match. This was one of the first rolls I have done for a long time. I felt good and tapped my "opponent" 3 or 4 times in the 5 minute match.

I recently cut way back on coffee intake in the morning and I did not have any coffee prior to the class. I also ate a Skyline hot dog immediately before class. So far this seems to be helping prevent my blood sugar from getting low and making myself sluggish.

Also the home exercises are helping me to keep my core muscles strong.

Home Fitness Program

Working on putting to paper/web page the workouts that I have been doing to stay in shape. They are the most time efficient workouts I have ever done.

I believe that the workouts would be ideal for professionals, business owners or anyone that little time to waste and wants to gets results quickly.

Once completed the home workout will be on this site Home fitness 


People are beginning to join the email list for when the Home workout program becomes available.

Krav Maga class trial

Endomondo Doing martial arts Workout: "was out doing martial arts - in 1h:30m:00s using Endomondo."

I checked out a Krav Maga class the other day. It is an Israeli martial arts designed for pure self defense.

There is no sport component for it. I felt like most of it is repeat stuff for me, I have many years of TKD and

Brazilian Jiujitsu, mixed in with a little Wing Chun and self defense techniques learned from seminars.

I should give it another few classes before I decide it is for me or not.  I will say that they take self defense seriously.  You can see the bruised on my arm from blocks I was doing.

Rolled for two hours

Practiced Brazilian Jiu-jitsu today for two hours. Endurance and timing are coming back quickly. Many thanks to the home circuit. It has definitly sped up my ability to hang with the much younger. Two in the class are 19 (24 years younger than I am)

It is a good to stand up after a 5 minute match and the younger guy is still laying there catching his breath wondering what happened and how did this old guy kick my ass?
