Hi, I just wondered what sort of weekly routine people who do MA and weights/other exercise would recommend. I do MA on a Mon (3hours), Wed (3 hours),Thurs (1 hour) and Sunday (1hour). Having moved clubs for the MA I train on Thurs and Sun my fitness has taken a nose dive. I used to do much more cardio and bodyweight exercises. I am going to start running twice a week in my lunch hour. I guess my question is this. a) How does everyone fit everything in? b) what would people recommend me do to add in a couple of weights sessions a week? I have a gym nearby but have little/no experience with free weights. Cheers.
Find someone to teach you the basic lifts. Then Do a super simple 2-3 day a week routine. Something like: Day one, squat + pullups. Day two, Deadlift + benchpress. Thats super simple but could actually be quite effective.
