New kung fu workout plan. Opinions?
Long time no see =)
I'm constructing a new kung fu workout plan that covers 5 training days a week for 6 months. The idea is to get some continuity and structure to the training. The goal is to enhance all-around fitness of the practitioner.
The plan is divided into 3 2-month periods. Each period has a theme that sets the pace for all training sessions during that period. So how one practises depends on the theme of the period.
I period - Endurance
II period - Strength
III period - Speed
During the training week each training session concentrates on a separate area.
Friday - Hand techniques, hand conditioning
Saturday - Kicking, leg conditioning and moving
Sunday - Forms and qigong
Monday - Sparring
Tuesday - Calisthenics and gam na
Wedneday - rest day
Thursday - rest day
So for example on the first period each friday you do hand techniques with tons of reps so you keep your heart rate up and build up endurance, which is the theme for the period.
During the second period you less reps with more power and try to build up explosive power.
What do you think of this? Are 2 month periods long enough and are they in correct order? Does the order really even matter if the practitioner is in decent condition to begin with?
