Exercise is an important part of any healthy life style. I know of clubs that spend half the time doing press ups and sit ups and star jumps; I like a club that concentrates on teaching the art. If you want to do any extra exercise then that is your choice, but the fitter and stronger you are the easier it is to avoid injury and if you get one recovery time is shorter.
If you want to build up muscle stamina then use a light resistance, just enough to feel it and do lots of fast reps, to bulk use a high resistance and fewer reps.
Rowing, as previously posted is a good all round exercise utilising good muscle use and cardio vascular work out. I wouldn’t go running, the impact on the foot, ankle, knee, hip and spine can be disastrous, swimming is good as the body is supported and injury is limited, and people can only see your head.
It is important to angle exercise to what one practices, leg weights and a big bag, the best thing is train with a partner it is easier to use focus mitts than a bag and the results are the same.

Anyone? Also anyone got any recommendations for stamina/strength exerices that are easy to do at home (i.e. not requiring membership to the gym, or fancy equipment)? I have an exercise bike and rowing machine if that helps. And I want to tone up, rather than turn into a muscleman.  lol. the bold part of this sentence would have you flamed and possibly thrown off MAP for using the "T"word  don't worry about turning into a muscleman, it's hard enough for guys with the appropriate amount of testosterone to facilitate hypertrophy to do that, women rarely grow muscles through weight training, never mind light callesthenics such as you mentioned. to burn fat and to improve cardio fitness you need to sustain heart rates of 60-70% MHR for 20mins minimum, preferably 30-40mins at least 2 -3 times weekly. whether that's running, cycling, swimming circuits, bagwork etc is not important. only that the intensity is correct to sustain the appropriate HR |

swimming is good as the body is supported and injury is limited, and people can only see your head. I just wish that people could only see my head as I got into and out of the pool. I have all the grace of an elephant when it comes to clambering out of swimming pools. ;D |
