Everyone is different..you will need to gauge it for yourself when you are done, after some of my tattoo appts I have been able to work out..and others and I have not been able to until 2nd day after, I have a very large piece and for that one I definately had to skip the same day/next day workout. Just see how you feel…

Sounds like something I will pass on then..I sweat when I workout!

I have had a few broken toes & I do taekwondo as my main form of exercise. As soon as the pain subsides enough I am back at it, I just buddy tape it. If you don't want to do high impact cardio stuff then try biking, maybe a rowing machine??

I am interested in this as well..would like to hear any reviews!

The training is what will get you in shape..go..do it..have fun!

See that is totally awesome..I am sure he is a inspiration for everyone!

Just wanted to pop in and give you the thumbs up for your fight this weekend..let us know how it goes! I can't answer your other questions..but as for the nerves..I am just somehow able to totally block out everyone & everything except for the sound of my coaches voice when I am fighting. I am full of nerves right up until…

I just replied on your newsfeed :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: thanks for the recommendations, i will check them out. my intervals will be for different exercises..that is why i want to name them so I can see them at a glance and not worry about remembering which exercise i should be doing.

no one else uses a timer??

I had looked at that one..but it I would need to upgrade to save my routines.. Any other free apps out there that people like for interval timers??

lol..me too! lost half a tooth a few weeks ago..and yes I was wearing my mouth guard..but my coaches foot had to show me who is boss..lol. who ever says taekwondo is just tapping for points has no idea what they are talking about..i have seen so many bruises, broken bones, etc..it's crazy!

You look great! Can I ask you how tall you are?

I don't understand..he said this because your ankle was taped up?? I don't think I have ever been to a competition where I have not seen numerous people competing with ankles, toes etc taped up. We suck it up and compete...he sounds like a real jerk to think it was someone looking for sympathy!

You shouldn't be! Don't push yourself too hard..ease your body into it!

I love TKD, good to hear you enjoy it too, I'll send you a FR.

thanks...so many great ideas to try!

:( that is sad news. will you have someone else that you can train with?

congrats!!

Our sparring is co-ed, it has never come up as a issue or something that I have ever really considered before. Gender/Belt level is not a concern..higher belts will go lighter on the beginners but otherwise we just spar with whoever shows up! I can say the person who is most agressive with me is usually my son..he is a…

We spend a good 15 mins warming up (running, lunges etc) and then 10 to 15 mins of stretching before we get started..usually really nice and limber by then.

It sure feels fantastic doesn't it! How did you make out in your match?

:bigsmile: I think it was from a store called Ricki's :bigsmile:

awww thank you guys..it feels REALLY great to hear I look 10 yrs younger!!! :flowerforyou:

I did south beach at one time..it was tough for me..but I did lose a few pounds doing it! YOu have done awesome!

:flowerforyou: thx!

thanks guys! I am still working on my fitness..I no longer have a personal trainer..but I have started running & am trying to increase my distance bit by bit. I also like to do p90x workouts now..I never thought I would be fit enough to tackle those...just goes to show you that unless you try you just never know! have a…

welcome :) good for you for still managing to test for your black belt despite your injury!

wow. just WOW!

I use Jackie Warner Xtreme Training, p90X, JM 30DS, Billy Blanks taebo (for cardio). Right now my preference is the Jackie Warner..quick workout and I am seeing results in my arms pretty quickly.
