Being tight in my hips and hamstrings, I appreciate the added help your videos give me. Thanks

Thanks Mike! Remember, flexibility is something you can’t rush, continue to take your time at work at it regularly. Great job!

I am glad the videos are helpful, thanks for watching and commenting!!

master scott,I have a question my master won’t let me have my next test i have 1 more left then i can take my black belt what sould i do

Lee,

I would sit down with your instructor and politely ask him why your not able to test. If he says your not ready find out what you need to work on and do it. If it’s a matter of time between testings that is quite common, I have a 4-6 month waiting period for students at your level. If you still have questions please let me know! Good luck!

Master Scott,

I have a real problem with getting in shape, like raising my flexibility and muscle strength. I’m not sure exactly why. I’ve never actually been in shape but I’m a natural athlete (I think I’ve been taking advantage of that).

In the last year I’ve tried a number of workout techniques but none seem to help. What happens is, after getting a good workout the next day all my muscles I was working out become extremely sore, for days to weeks at a time. An hour of hard workout and I could be sore for a week, even if I rest everyday. I know being sore is normal but for so long? I believe my problem is I push too far and become sore so long that by the time I work out again I lose the progress I made and start over, but I’m not sure.

Every trainer will tell me to “push yourself” and I have a really high pain tolerance so I try to push myself but not as hard as I can or I find myself sore for several weeks. My real question is: Should I really push myself? Or is it better if I really take it slow; like if I start to feel tired at all just stop and next day do the same ’til I can go longer without getting tired? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Also note that I am very out of shape– not fat or even chubby, just I never work out anymore or get any kind of exercise. Mainly because I never see progress– I will work out for an hour or so then be sore for a week, then work out another hour be sore for a week ect and doesn’t seem to improve so I just gave up. Age 18 btw.
