Managment consultant. Focus on yoga, swimming (beginner, TI) and general training.
My training feed: Feed
Training background:
- Childhood: playground soccer, ice hockey, cross country skiing, swimming
- 1973-1986 Basketball. Played in the Swedish junior national team and in the Swedish level 1 series (Brahe, IFK Linköping). Coached kids team, camp leader.
- 1986-2000. Tried various martial arts, fencing, weightlifting, played in lower divisions of basketball. Constant problems with knees and back.
- 2000-2007. Sporadic training due to becoming the father of twins, weightlifting, running, was only consistent with two years of Jodo. BMI peaked at 27 in 2002
- 2007- . Mix of "everyday active" (bike to work, take the stairs instead of elevator,...), yoga, weightlifting (squats, deadlift, military press), functional training (e.g. MAQ, burpees) and swimming. Feels great.

What swimming maintenance program can I do until next summer? @JohnP, both. Didn't even think about dryland exercises. There are a number of 25m indoor pools available. |

Is it better to develop swimming fitness first or get better at technique? Good answer, the key is the baseline. What I have seen from myself and other beginners is that if the technique is below the baseline, only a few would finish the a program like the Kazez. On the other hand, all the beginners I have seen have been quite active in other sports, i.e. quite fit. So what is a way of finding out if you are above/below the "waterline" in terms of technique? |

What should i do if I miss a 5x5 session? Missing workouts isn't that serious, e.g. see this question fitness.stackexchange.com/q/7172/3778. See it as part of the experience. |

What exercise develops internal fortitude? Perhaps the question can be changed to be less of a polling and more of a specific problem. E.g. "My current mix of exercises is <...>. In order to build my internal fortitude, how should I change the mix? |

Why do sprinters have muscular arms? Seems like the resistance training is mostly focused on larger muscle groups, see squidoo.com/usain-bolt-workout |

What causes knee pain after cardio? Perhaps you can add some context on your training history and a more precise description of where in the knee the pain is? It sounds like "osteoarthritis" |

How can I improve my reaction speed and timing for martial arts? yes, that was my experience from playing basketball. The physical part of the training that improved timing and reaction was drills where you worked on 1-1 and 3-3 plays, in your context, that probably means actual sparring. |

Is it a good idea to only do cardio? @Inquest, so your main question is "how do I stay in shape without doing weights?" and the "..good idea (only cardio).." could be removed? |

How many Burpees do I have to do per day to lose a lot of fat fast? A close friend of mine asked for an intense workout today. It was raining so running was not an option. Since I had this answer in my mind, I suggested "Tabata[Burpees, 2 sets, 4 min]". She could do about three strict burpees in 20 seconds. The perceived effort level was very high |

Swim technique workouts in a short pool @JohnP. Feedback. The advice worked well. I worked with the drills you suggested in the short pool (single arms, sculling (had to check that one on google), EVA and high elbow. Feels good now that I am back to a 50m pool. |

Swim technique workouts in a short pool Looks interesting. However, it is unlikely that the hotel has it place. |

Swim technique workouts in a short pool Good points! Almost a perfect answer. Would a typical workout be that you do n*{single arm drills, sculling, EVF} or n*single arm drills, n*arm drills, etc. |

Recommendations for a weight program to support martial arts competition I looked at the video, impressive form. One thing that I start thinking about is how weight-lifting will impact the practice & execution of the form itself. From my basketball playing days, I remember that too much weightlifting (legs and/or upperbody) was bad for my long distance shots. Sort of touches on this question about Neural Adaption vs Hypertrohpy, fitness.stackexchange.com/q/7235/3778 |
