Weight Lose Kung Fu Exercises
Internal and External Kung Fu exercise routines and drills encouraging optimum bodyweight and physique are considered in this article. These focus on improving the body’s economy, efficiency and effectiveness utilising ethics springing from Classical Daoism and Shaolin Chan.
So people who know me know that I love kung fu. It’s become a part of my life, my second home. It’s not a passing fad, but something that has developed me in more ways than one. Physically, mentally and socially I want to be the best in Kung Fu, and obviously that takes determination, spirit, and a lot of practice.
I know challenges of mine involve endurance and being light-weighted on my feet. I figured out ways to work on these is to lose a little weight and do more cardio routines. The way I was able to jump-start this weight loss was thru my work’s “Biggest Loser” contest. For eight weeks, I had to work on losing weight in a safe way. I couldn’t just starve myself because it would be detrimental to my health in general and Kung Fu training specifically.
So the goal for me was to lose 1-2 pounds per week, if possible. How did I try to accomplish this? I typically eat reasonably, so I just maintained my eating habits. I was having cereal or cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch, and chicken of beef with a vegetable side for dinner. I kept 90-calorie Special K bars ready in a pinch and fruits to snack on.
As for the work-out, I basically worked out EVERY SINGLE DAY. Many days I’d pull off double sessions: 30-45 minutes of cardio and the 60-90 minutes of Kung Fu. Days that I didn’t have Kung Fu, I just really pushed myself fitness wise.
And the end result? After 8 weeks, I lost approximately 11 pounds. I lost almost 7percent of my body weight and placed 3rd in the contest. I dropped a clothing size and everything is baggy on me now. I am at a point where if I didn’t lose any more weight, I’d be fine with that. Now I can transition myself from weight loss to muscle building and toning, which I feel is the next phase to getting myself where I need to be for my Kung Fu training. It’s all about motivation and self-confidence. And I am definitely making strides.
