Conditioning from 2006 to 2010
This training program is what I used from 2006 to 2008, while I was training in both Taekwondo and Judo. In general, I performed conditioning workouts in the morning and martial arts workouts in the evening.

I used this routine to address my conditioning while I attained a second degree black belt in Taekwondo and a third degree brown belt in Judo. Give it a try. It will increase your strength, while building up your cardio fitness.
