As akatune wrote , Weight lifting should not interfere guitar playing, As long as you do the exercises right and do stretching. I'm doing weight lifting and body building stuff for a couple of years and it works fine for me. (just to be careful with the nails when messing with weight discs and other heavy stuff) Many years ago I used to play tennis and table tennis , was thinking to play again , but I have friends who complain about wrist pain so i left that idea. Couldn't get into bare hand martial arts as well , went once to a MMA training , all seemed good until I literally flew on a wall and the only thing that kind of softened the crash was my right hand thumb. However ,armed martial art such as Kendo and Naginata (trained in that one) can be good , since you are not using your hands and fingers to hit , and you wear protected gloves. And last one , I really wanted to get into mountain biking and downhill ride , but the chance of damaging arms in a severe way is high on this one.(correct me if I'm wrong)

Like my username implies (to those in the know at least), I'm a sponsored racquetball player for Gearbox Racquetball i know nothing about racquetball so i thought it had something to do with cars. racquetball sounds interesting though. i need a workout that's not only effective but fun so i dont lose interest so easily. quote:
I remember now here is a good youtube channel if you're interested leo i'm wary of anything that has shortcut in it but he actually has some pretty good stuff. he also advocates short high intensity cardio like machopicasso suggested. thanks for sharing! quote:
The idea is to get to the point where you can do, say, eight rounds of Steps 1-2. If you're just starting out (and depending on what kind of condition you're in), you might want to aim for just three or four rounds. It's exhausting but extremely effective. i'm going to try this on monday. i just got an app on my iphone that will chime at specified intervals. thanks for introducing me to this idea! quote:
Take one or two minutes between each set. Use that time for stretching, so the stretching actually becomes just as much or more of a focus than the actual lifting. that's a great idea. i usually waste this time chatting away. quote:
However ,armed martial art such as Kendo and Naginata (trained in that one) can be good , since you are not using your hands and fingers to hit , and you wear protected gloves. this sounds like a fun idea. but i'm just worried it will take up too much time and money. mountain biking, however, i can do for free since i already have a bike collecting dust in my basement.
