Training methods for physical fitness By runnerninja - Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:19:34 GMT

=========

A poster on a wing chung thread said he doesnt do weight training because it contradicts wing chung training. From what I read on this thread it was largely because of the effects of weight training on flexability. Is this the same in ninjutsu? I have done many different sports, all of which benefit greatly from weight training(If done properly. I realise there is no point in a marathon runner using weights to bulk up and improve explosive power). It is even used in gymnastics where a high level of flexability is nexessary.

What training methods do people use to improve/maintain their physical fitness. I do a lot of running(does my name give that away?) but also like to include cycling, swimming and football. During the winter I would do regular weights sessions and like circuits as they are great for achieving a high level of fitness in a short space of time aswell as keeping the weight down while allowing you to build a lot of strength.

No, weight training does not hurt your flexibility. What does hurt flexibility is weight training and blowing off stretching. Just makes sure you stretch in conjunction with your weight lifting and you'll be fine.
