Try powerlifting, then you’ll understand rest days. Yoga, jogs, and tai chi are recovery (not real workout)
[QUOTE=Adventure427;763166]Becca seems pretty hardcore, and doesn’t even realize it. You run and do tai chi or yoga everyday? Nice…thats a good ‘base’ to have…you’re body is so adept to it. I always thought that the highschool wrestlers regimen was crazy… Well ours…(maybe thats why they were good)…i never joined tho. But they trained 6days a week…running n grappling n all kinds of stuff[/QUOTE]
i am taking absolutely nothing away from becca, but i think shed also agree that a highschool wrestlers regimen is just slightly more intense than running, yoga, and tai chi. theres a reason why wrestling has a season. in fact i dont know if there is anything more intense on that level than what they put those kids through.
[QUOTE=PangQuan;763094]what do you work for them or something. peddling that thing off every corner i turn 
ive actually been thinking about buying it lol…i probably will.[/QUOTE]
No, but I do have over half of his DVDs so far. Getting the one on Oma Plata next. 
Plus I really like the site and getting you guys to buy from it too… Maybe we can get Gene to carry his line of DVDs. Then we can help both with one purchase!
Adventure427 - GDA is right. Yoga is very relaxing. Once you are even a bit in shape and flexable, it stops being a work out at all. Same for tai chi. The running is because I was getting sick of my female dog trashing the house, and the best way to stop a shepard from trashing the hous it to run them at least once a day.
No, no, no to the power lifting. I know myself; I won’t stick to it. I weight train only to try to stave off the old age that’s starting to creep up on me. I try to keep in shape so group class is a learning experiance, not a work out. the last 2 years, that hasn’t been the case.
i may actually have to pick up this dvd … i stretched for the first time in months last night and it felt awesome. im dissapointed i havent kept up on it.
I have been useing this guys methods for conditioning lately.

He has a good collection of solid, basic body weight exercises. I have also been holding stances more.
I generally condition one day, hold stances the next, and rest the following day. I do flexibility after each session (Except this morning as was running out of time)
I give a muscle group a 7 day rest period.
