I'd love to know what sort of training regime other combat instructors follow, and especially what the super-fit Dan & Rach get up to - I bet it's hardcore

Here's my current week - I do change it around but this is what I'm up to at the moment....

Monday - teach combat
Tuesday - rest day
Wednesday - 4m run, balance class
Thursday - weights in gym, then jam
Friday - teach combat
Saturday - pump and combat (not teaching!)
Sunday - 2 hours Tae Kwon Do training - a variety of stretching, patterns, kicks on pads, etc etc.  Plus slow/easy 3m run.

What do you all get up to in an average week?

Mon: Teach 2 classes, Aerobics & Combat

Tues: Teach Combat & Tone

Wed: Teach Combat 

Thurs: Teach Combat

Fri: rest day one week, participate in a Combat class the other

Sat: Teach 2 Combats am, pad work pm

Sun: Teach Combat am followed by jacuzzi, steam, massage and pub (oops!)

Good morning...

 Just happened upon this post as I was running up Mount Cook (havent got time to sit down and check these things as I'm so busy keeping fit)...and thought I would drop in and share with you guys what we do day to day..

 Each morning we run 10 k before breakfast..

I eat 4 egg whites - Dan eats 8 egg whites

Followed by a protein shake, toast, passion fruit, fillet steak each and cup of English Breakfast tea

Then we take an early bird RPM class to warm the legs up before training with the ninjas out in the bush..(secret location that only we know as if you knew, you'd well, never come back...)

That takes us to 10am, where we snack on sushi and protein shakes

Teach our BC class...yadda yadda..

Lunch at the steak house..big feed...dan's plate is super big feed

Then in the afternoon we pump out some strength training..

Mid afternoon we have stunt work..

 Before we teach class again..

Stretch out on the climbing wall for a quick hour..

Dinner is mainly a full cooked chicken ...for me...and 2 for Dan..washed down with a cold beer or two..(gotta have balance in your life)

After dinner we do a quick sea swim to warm up, ..

Ready for our  training session in the ring...light sparring...with some MMA work

90 mins of Bikram Yoga to work on our flexibilty..

60 mins of meditation...

Watch LOST on TV..or House..

Sleep...

Rach Keep it Real and Stay with the Fight Love Dance Live Life

wow, who would have thought it possible that I'd have exactly the same training routine as you guys.

Well quite frankly i think u guys are slackers :)

 And u just dont eat enuff protein .....

No plyo work ????

 

I know where the secret location is as i is one of those ninjas , ya know the one that was too fast for ya but very small:)

ahh the secret location of the ninja, think I happened upon that when I was in NZ, got slapped upside the head and sent back to do combat

LOL @ Rach

Hope you kept that up on your honeymoon too - no slacking allowed!

That post Rach, just gave me what I needed today!

A healthy dose of sarcasm and a swift kick in the behind.   Good thing I'm teaching combat tonight!

 

 

I assume that rach and dan do all that training with the Rocky theme playing in the background

and their planned winter holiday will be in a barn in the middle of Siberia :)
