hello everybody. i have always been a moderately active person. last month i was inspired to begin training at once to prepare myself for a lifetime of martial arts. i have a natural tendency to rush things and i thought if i pushed hard enough i would break through health on the other side as quickly as possible. things were going good. what i was going for, was to be active for the whole of the day. not a couple of hours. life as activity. approx. 8 hours of sleep are needed to rest and maintain the human body. which gives roughly 16 hours of awake time. i would wake up at 8am, eat breakfast and walk a couple miles to the track where i would run between 3 to 5 miles followed by an extensive stretch. i would then walk around until i was hungry. id go home. eat. then id walk again for awhile until i felt i was ready for more rigorous exercise. i would then jump rope and sprint followed by a mile or so of jogging followed by stretching and walking. i would then go to the pool for the daily lap swim from 5 to 7 and swim interval lap training there. i would get back from cycling home at about 730 and eat dinner. id rest for awhile, take a walk through the woods. and sleep. repeat. the purpose was to get my body ready and receptive of the demands martial arts would put on them. the first time i was so tired the next day i couldnt open my water bottle. but i pushed on. so egar for results. i did this for two weeks. i was always tired. expending so much energy. finally i couldnt go anymore. i stayed inside and rested for three days. i had gone way to fast for the exercise to be productive. i was draining far more energy than retaining. i found these fourms a few days ago in my resting and ive been reading through them often. i observe theres alot of genuinely good and sincere and nice people here as well as its share of evil, evasive, mean and boastful people. i would like very much to hear your opinions on a conditioning plan to sclupt and refine my human fourm to be ready for martial arts training. i am willing to dedicate myself wholly to this but find it hard on my own in my limited knowledge proper balance of flexibility strength endurance speed and the best ways of attaining these. i have been so drained these past days ive done nothing but a few walks a day. now my flexibility is going backwards and tomorrow i plan to begin training again. i'm going to start off slowly to avoid burning myself out. a mix of long walks followed by stretches for a week or so to get back and heal my lost energy. i apologize to anybody i burden with this post. i guess what im asking is for time frames for the human being to realize and understand its potential on a physical basis. to ease my panicked and anxious mind. what would you reccommend for the beginner in decent health. 18 years old, 5-10 135 pounds. i feel i need to lose some body fat though not much. i used to be a smoker but ive been clean from that for almost seven months. i eat very healthy and have engaged in sport and exercise for most of my life. i occasionally would smoke marijuana once a month or so but ive quit that as well for my lungs health. how much do you think i should train and is there any advice and wisdom you kind people could pass on to me. i guess thats about all for now good luck to everybody who reads this
