[QUOTE=chusauli;960070]Actually, doing squats and deadlifts and swings help your WCK tremendously, along with pushups, pull ups, and crunches. Not to mention some cardio.
When you actively engage the low back, abdominals, glutes and core muscles with pelvic thrust coordinated with your striking - that is the goal.
You can achieve that with dumbbells, barbells, Chiishi, KB’s, sledgehamers, etc. Then do it without equipment.[/QUOTE]
Not only does all of that help your WCK, but done properly it will help fight type 2 diabetis, hear dz, depression…etc. The real battles we all face.
Having a strong body is very important for health reasons, it is CRUCIAL for training MA if fighting is, in any way, a part of your training.
Modern medicine and studies have shown that strength training is actually more benefitial than “aerobic” training ( Probably because you can actually do both at the same time and it is “low impact”).
Its good for your bones and for women, that is very important.

On Larry King, September 10, 2009:
KING: The book “Why Our Health Matters,” the guest, Dr. Andrew Weil. OK, if you – if you could make some changes, give us some that you would make right now. Be – be – be the king.
WEIL: OK. First of all, we don’t have a health care system in this country, we have a disease management system that’s horribly dysfunctional and getting worse by the day. And the vast majority of disease that we’re trying to manage is lifestyle related and, therefore, preventable.

I can’t tell you how frustrating it is as a chiro for over 20 yrs to treat people who refuse to make any changes. Fat, sedentary people w/ chronic low back pain refusing to help themselves, expecting a miracle in pill form w/ immidiate results. Truth is the only time I may end up using my WCK is on one of them, LOL!
I find that some get what I call the gift of desperation, where they’re finally so sick and tired of being sick and tired they are willng to do what it takes. But many are not there yet, some have become addicts and some have becme so entangled w/ their pian that they have begun to identify themselves w/ their symptoms. Thus, they become afraid of being healthy, it would mean losing their identity.
Strange thing pain, the mind. How to change their thoughts that goes beyond education, it has to be on a deep emotional level.
I am always looking for tools in this regard.
Take Care

pian.. that’s been in Cantonese, right? It means whip or tail, as in San Pian Chiew(sam been jow).
So it actually means pen1s. So they are getting entangled with it? That’s gotta hurt. I’ve clipped it in my zipper a few times, and I gotta tell ya, it’s no picnic. Of course, nothing like that scene in “Something about Mary.” But actually getting it tangled…it would have to be pretty long…being jewish, I’ve never personally encountered that problem, and what with the cold weather coming, not likely to occur anytime soon. Not that I haven’t tried. I mean, just out of curiosity. Not lately, of course. When I was little. Just something kids do when they have too much time on their hands. Of course, after awhile, other things to do with it besides trying to tie it into a knot 'sprang up," so to speak, and that started to occupy more of my time…might be why my eyesight is failing…

kinda the same thing, isn’t it?
My sister was fond of carrots. Used to by them and cucumbers all the time…never ate them though…
curious…
