For Jiu Jitsu, you need to be in good shape, but what I'd recommend is do as many sit ups as you can, then do more.

I see manynew guys that come in, wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu and after a half hour, they are whupped because their stomach muscles are like the Pillsbury dough boy's.

Running to improve your cardio, push ups, sit ups, dips and chin ups are all good excercises to get yourself in shape.
