Working Out

[GuardMaster]

I currently do some lifting (in mornings) and 1 hr jogs (evenings) every other day. On my days off I rest well, which is every other day.

I'm planning on taking BJJ, and was thinking I'd substitute it for the 1 hr jogs I do 4 times a week in the evenings. But i'm wondering if its worth giving up the running since its doing wonders for my cardio and is helping me to lose weight fast.

Can someone advise me of how to incorporate BJJ / MMA into my training schedule?
Running and BJJ in the evenings may be overkill, and I need those rest days every other day to recover.

If you are training hard on the mats, in my opinion, you don't need to run. Your mat training will give you a total body workout.

If you can, do both, if you can't you should be fine with the mat work.

I think you should do a long run on satherday once a week, and do some HIR sprint work 2 times a week in the evening.

And maybe you should look after youre diet, to speed up youre recovery, so you wont have to rest every other night. or some supplement's. and drink A LOT of water
