I train every day. Either use my gym at home, or train at work doing kata and kumite techniques.
Also train with the chief instructor three times a week.

Thanks for the replies. You have all (most of you) shamed me into going to the gym tonight.

It's a hard to find the motivation after a long day at work but no pain no gain I guess!

I was the opposite to you last year.  The previous year I went 2-3 times a week.

Fed up of being over-weight and lacking energy so that's my motivation.  Now going 3 times a week  :smiley:

This is me at the moment. Just need to loose a stone max, get fit and get some energy and motivation back.

Gym 3 x a week, bike ride once a week.

Joined a new gym after moving house. New gym is only 3 min drive or quick ride away. Being near
makes a big difference for me.


If its that close, run or walk there you lazy fecker!  :grin:

i used to do rugby training for one team monday(day time) wednesday (day time) and a game on friday (eavening)

for another team tuesday(night) thursday (night) and a game sunday morn pluss a fitness class every two weeks

then taekwondofor my local monday and wed(night, two classes, used to help out teach the less advanced class then participate in the more advanced)

then saturday used to train with the head of world taekwondo then half a hour after that training session a fight taekwando session. plus a few fights when ever there was comps.

then i broke my shoulder and had to have pins and plates put in, meaning i was out for a full season of rugby, and couldnt do taekwando for the best part of a year, during that year i did no excersise and became a lazy buggar, gave up taekwando and tried to get back into rugby but was too unfit. which is my motivation to get back to how i used to be, good toned body, and alot more fitter (to give you an idea of the fitness i used to be at we used to do an 8 miles run as a warm up for one of the rugby teams, now i think ide pass out after 8 metres).

before xmas i used to go 2-3 times a week doing a good session in the gym then hit the pool for 45 mins. after xmas ive been once and thats it, mainly due to the fact that everyones got there health kick on and decided to join gyms meaning the last time i went in there when i got in there was  only one machine available so spent 45 mins on there, then 20 mins on weights then gave up because i couldnt be bothered to wait any longer so went for a hour long swim, now im proberbly not going to go untill mid feb due to the fact that i hate waiting for machines.
