Stage 1 Cardio for Kendo

Third day at gym. Focusing on fixing up cardio fitness still.

This is the same routine I used the last time I was working on weight-loss earlier this year:

Cardio followed by Strength.

That said it is also important to work on flexibility so Yoga or Pilates is in the cards I think.


Kendo Specific Gym Work?

At the moment my training is based on what I think I need - at the start this is probably safe as I am focusing on improving my general fitness but ultimately I will need to work on Kendo specific training.

Some of this will come as I practice cutting (assuming I do it correctly) but in the absence of gi-geiko I need to work on some solo exercises at the gym.

So the question is - is there some guidelines on Kendo specific fitness. There must be some so I will do some research this week.


Building a Proper Program

This will help me build a proper training program - as opposed to guessing what needs to be done.

I reckon it won't be perfect but it will be better than feeling around in the dark. It will also give me a roadmap and hence milestones so I can measure my progress.

As they say, what gets measured gets done - so way not put this to my advantage.
