Daily Routines

Daily Routine Suggestion #1

It can be difficult to gain motivation to train after a long day. Making your nightly schedule dependent on your home training program can be a very interesting approach.  I have suggested to students that they use their favorite TV program as a time to train. The average TV show is 22 minutes with 8 minutes of commercials. So a method of training with a TV show could be:

·         To the first commercial break: In Zenkutsu Dachi (front stance), do 25 of each block. Be sure to switch feet and repeat on the opposite side.

Each commercial is an average of 30 seconds

·         For each commercial switch stances and hold it perfectly for the length of the commercial. i.e. Nekoashi Dachi (cat stance) for the first commercial, Shiko Dachi (horse stance) for the second, Kokustsu Dachi for the next, etc.

·         During the next show segment: hold a Shiko Dachi the entire length doing another 25 of each block.

·         For the next commercial break: rotate into stances you didn’t review yet.

·         For the next show segment: In Nekoashi dachi, do 25 of each block.

·         Then in the last commercial break: In Shiko Dachi, Zenkutsu Dachi and Neko Ashi Dachi punch as quickly and properly as you can for the length of the commercial.
