I just started doing HEMA, is there any workouts I can do so I’m not worn out at the end of a single bout?

You probably won't like this answer but, running.

Understand I'm RELATIVELY new to HEMA (less than 2 years) and also fairly new to being non-sedentary (couldn't run a mile before this year and only started sort of working out ~3 years ago), so I am not an expert. But Sparring WIPED me when I started. I cross trained with climbing for several months, figuring strength and balance were the trick, especially since my arms and back were sore CONSTANTLY at first. And climbing helped like, a tiny bit, but I still had zero capacity for long or multiple bouts. Then I picked up regular running specifically to increase my endurance for steel kit HEMA. In 3 months of regular cardio I went from fencing like, 2 bouts a day max before I was too wiped to continue, to fencing 5-6 high intensity bouts in a day with a energy to spare.

And, honestly, running sucked ass at first. I took 5 months to complete a "9 week" couch-to-5k program. I walked over 90% of my miles for the first month. But holy shit, I feel like a fucking Olympian in the ring. Even when my technique needs work I'm literally running circles around fencers whose only cardio is fencing.

Strength is good too, but I hate weights so I do body weight stuff around climbing. Exercises focused on the upper back and shoulders are useful specifically for longsword. These can be low-weight, since swords aren't honestly that heavy (although strength can be useful in tourney bouts, strength building is a different story from 'doing bouts without feeling like death'). Bicep and tricep curls, chest presses and overhead rows will all make it so your arms/back/shoulders don't get tired. But for me, and for a lot of new fencers, the limiting factor is cardio, cardio, cardio. Do more cardio. Take as much time as you need to build up to regular and comfortable cardio, but. Seriously. Do cardio.

did my half-marathon today! finished in 2 hrs 21 mins which is about what i was expecting, and while i was lowkey hoping to finish under 2 hrs 20 mins, i did also start my period literally half an hour before the race and felt like i had knives in my thighs the first few kilometres which is ofc a great way to kick things off, so all things considered i'm satisfied :P

I'm playing this game called "IOU" where every time i see something transphobic or homophobic and ignorant i add a tally to the IOU board and then that's how many workout sessions i have to do in succession, along with making a note to donate that amount of cash to a pro-trans charity when I get a job. If I reach 200 completed sessions within 2 years I can start T. Jokes on you, dipshits. You're just making me MORE transgender.

still thinking about my coworker being like, "you have to hate your body to reach your workout goals" and I'm like, why punish your body into the shape you want instead of nurturing it into the shape you want?

you can't hate yourself into loving yourself, ain't ever gonna be satisfied with your body if you only feed it hate and disgust

#fable speaks #workout stuff #like listen he's young and I'm 30 and only relatively recently learned how to not be cruel to myself over this kinda thing #but you cannot hate yourself and except to ever be ACTUALLY satisfied with the results you get

Motivation is false.

Dedication and Discipline are true.

Just a personal post: I've been trying to work out lately, since I don't have the metabolism I had a decade ago lol, and honestly I'm really proud of myself. I've got a ways to go, but I really do think I'm going to stick with it this time.

So here's to trying to start something awfully positive. My domestic partner and I are trying to better ourselves physically because... well, it's not good on our end. Physically we're disasters. I don't exactly know if blogging it is going to help us progress and/or keep us on track, but I'm damn well gonna try.

For anonymity sake, my name is Agatha, and her name is Minerva. And I'm gonna post as frequently as I can while reblogging other stuff I think might help us. So. Here's to hoping.
