Question

i have just started martial arts, and i am really unflexible. can anyone help? can anyone also tell me how to build abs, inner pecks, triceps, and biceps that i can do at home? and how often should i do them?

Answer 1

for strength, pressups, situps, pullups. for each see how many you can do in, say, 5 mins??. Do that number for a week, then increase by 2 (or as many as you can manage). Do that number for another week and then increase...............

You should try to do them at least once a day, twice if you have the time.

I followed this regime and i can now do 55 pressups in a minute (im only 13).

Answer 2
