Hello All,
I got a question for you guys. How many days a week do you train in MA and do they coincide with your weight training days? Or do you alternate them?
Also the question of the hour, can a sparring session or intense pad work be considered a substitute for a cardio routine? The way I train is 3 minute rounds(like 6 of them) with 30 seconds to a minute rest between each.
The reason I ask this is cardio is my real weak spot in my training. I do cardio for 20min Mon/Wed/Fri I train at the school on Tues/Thurs. Recently I've hit a plateau for the past few months and am considering two options:
Either turn up the volume on my current routine and go for a longer duration like 30-40 minutes
Or add another day in there somewhere. But I have a feeling it would mess with my MA training.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
