Especially for those of us passionate about our physical culture. <br /><br />For example, I can typically make 3 classes a week (2 BJJ and one MMA/Boxing); totaling about 5 hours mat time. In a perfect world, I'd supplement this with 3 prescribed boxing workouts (I boxed for a couple years so I can run these on my own in the garage gym); yoga every morning; and some high intensity continuous or interval training). And I would swim six miles a week as I had been doing before I restarted BJJ in October.<br /><br />But in the real world, I dropped swimming completely, do some strength and conditioning on my own, typically once a week on the weekend if I cannot make my usual weekend class, and admire people who do yoga every day. After all, my real world has in it a busy wife, an over-scheduled 13 year old son, and my career!<br /><br />Thanks for this blog and the many great ideas and experiences you share with the rest of us part timers.David J.
