hi all
cheers in advance for any advice
ok here we go
i am going back to karate in jan
ive not done any training at all since dec 2003 i stoped due to the sad loss of my father
i am 37
my karate background is started training in 1985
stopped in 2003 reached a serious level rank wise 3 times national champion ect ect
right enough of that
i the time ive been away my weight has ballon'd to 230lbs
at the height of my karate training i was 175lbs year in year out.
i am worried about my weight,my breath,my heart,ect ect
my weight ballon'd due to drinking way to much beer about 40 pint's a week
this has now stoped gone cold turkey as they say

Hi Daz, good luck on your new drive. There's a fair bit of info on these threads now so hopefully you will find something useful.

In a nutshell you have to sort out a suitable training programme which meets your goals(fitness, weightloss, muscle building whatever) and also overhaul your diet to cut out the beer etc.

As you know Karate so well, maybe this can be your main activity followed by some gym work if you feel you need it.

Set yourself some achievable short term goals which help to your long term goal.

all the best

Paul.

cheers paul mate
you are right there is a lot off good advice on here now.
if i am honest pal i posted because i need a push i the right direction encouragement ect.
ive took the first step tonight i phoned my old instructor to arrange a start date and he is well up for it.
i will keep you all posted on my progress.

slowly slowly to start with i think.
cheers
daz

Paul Eggleton · 04-01-2006, 11:55 AM

I trained last night too, for the first time since 19th Dec. Man, I can't walk. I always tell myself to take it easy, but I get carried away
