Question

i am 12 yrs old and go to Taekwondo im in an adult beginner class and i get tired really easly so please help and i cant do meditation or go to the gym

so something i can do at home

Answer 1

Go on a tread mill or go jogging 4 a while and when u gotta stop keep goin and wear warm gloves not to warm cause ull pass out

Answer 2

Do a lot of cardio, it won't stunt your growth. Lifting weights will.

Buy a jump rope, it's cheap, easy, and you can practice it at your own pace.

Answer 3

you shouldnt go to the gym at least untill you 13 or 14 it can stunt your growth. and i dont think meditationg will help your stamina. try running swimming or just keep training eventually it will build up.

Answer 4

run swim spar jump rope shadow box  

Answer 5

from home you can use a skipping rope. this is extremely taxing to your cardio-vascular system and as time goes by you will extend your stamina. it is great for breathing and O2 uptake. running helps too, but as sparring consists of jumping around in a confined area, I suggest you get good at rope skipping.

all profession fight athletes skip as a part of their daily training.

skip-push ups-skip-sit ups-skip-shadow box-skip-kicks etc

if you want to be better, you have to do exercise that mimics your goals. no use doing an exercise that doesnt stimulate growth in the area you want.

Answer 6

If you just started class it will be like that for a couple weeks, I am yellow belt, and I dont really run out of breath much more.

Answer 7

Make sure you are eating well. I am in TKD, and trust me, if you aren't getting all of your vitamins and nutrition through foods like fruits, veggies, grains and meat, you will be tired. Make sure to workout away from the academy, do fitness at home, like pushups sit ups and squats. Go jogging 10 minutes a day and eat very healthfully. If you live a balanced life, you will have much more energy and preform much better in class.

Answer 8

What I would suggest you to do is to practice repetition of kicks non-stop on both legs.  Practice the max amount of kicks you can do with your preferred leg, non-stop until you can do no more.  Then do the same for your other leg and if your other leg cannot keep up with your preferred leg, then reduce the repetition amount for both leg so that your other leg can catch up.  Then slightly increase the repetition for both leg over time as your other leg catches up to your preferred leg.  Then later expand it on to different kicks, such as front kick, roundhouse, hook, sidekick, etc and practice repetition for both legs.  Running also helps (but running is vastly different from kicking), but I think it's best to practice kicking because TKD emphasizes a lot of kicking and it requires proper breathing, hip aligning and muscle toning to increase stamina and all that can be learned from just kicking repetitions alone.    

Answer 9

I'm 47 years old and started TKD 2/12 years ago. I also have heart stints in place due to blocked arteries.

When I first started out I didn't have a lot of stamina. Practice and going to every class helps. It takes time, we all start at the bottom, a year from now you'll look at the new white belts and think, wow, I used to be like that?

My rank is red recommended.

Stay at it and you'll do great!
