Heike Says:

It's best to work large muscle groups first (chest, back and thighs) while you are still fresh and full of energy.  Then move to smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps, shoulders, calves, butt) which don't require as much energy.

The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his!

January/February 2010

Heike Says:

If you are still in the holiday munchies mood, try drinking a glass of water to fill you up and take your mind off your cravings.


Lissa Says:

The true purpose of fighting is not to win, but to test the limits of the human heart.


Marshell Says:

Always a student, sometimes a teacher.

October/November 2009

Heike Says:

Hitting a plateau in your workout? Try adding in a pre-workout supplement such as a fat burner or muscle volumizer.


Lissa Says:

The key to long term success in any competitive sport is periodization. Do sport specific training during your competitive season and train your weaknesses during the off season.



Marshell Says:

Any weapon - One mind

August/September 2009

Heike Says:

Have you ever seen a sprinter with a flabby belly??? Incorporate sprints into your workout to tone your legs and abs.


Lissa Says:

Train hard, fight easy



Marshell Says:

Better be a student of reality, then a master of illusion...

June/July 2009

Heike Says:

If you want to lose weight, you have to eat! Exercising in conjunction with a diet that is too low in calories can actually have a reverse effect, shutting down your metabolism and causing weight gain in the long run. To maintain a lower body weight, make sure you are getting an adequeate amount of calories to boost your metabolism. It is ok to lower caloric intake, but lowering it too much and too quickly will get you the wrong results.

Lissa Says:

Always be prepared. Being ready to fight doesn't just mean having a good game plan. Make sure you have adequate conditioning consisting of excellent cardiovascular, strength, and power. Also, make sure to maintain a healthy weight so when it is time to cut, your body will not be overwhelmed by the weight loss.

April/May 2009

Heike Says:

BE CAREFUL WITH CARB CUTTING! High protein, low cardohydrate diets are effective for building muscle and burning fat. However, diets with little or no carbohydrates can have negative side effects. Carbohydrates are essential for maintaining energy and sustaining brain function. Be sure to eat an adequate amount of "good carbs" daily.


Lissa Says:

Thrown your punches in bunches. Whether you are sparring or fighting, throw combinations with at least 4-5 strikes. You can throw two punches and neither may land, but if you throw 5 punches, the probability of hitting your target will greatly increase.


Marshell Says:

For every action, there is a reaction... Every move has a counter.

January/February 2009

Heike Says:

Its New Year's resolution time! If your goal is weight loss, make sure you are doing at least 30 minutes of cardioa day, clean up your diet and lift weights...increase your muscle mass and you will kick your metabolism into gear!

Lissa Says:

USE THE JAB!!! Use the jab not only to close distance and set up combinations, but also when finishing a combination to create distance and keep your opponent from counter attacking.


Marshell Says:

Start slow...learn the basics before you move on to more advanced techniques
