Burn Calories and Save the Galaxy

Man I hear what you're saying I was just practicing some flourishes in my house last night (I don't really have the room for actual saber combat training since I live in the city), and after about 30 minutes my forearms were not very happy with me. Now I just need to find a space to practice in that's big enough so I can actually do more of a real workout. I need to lose a few pounds anyways.

        well well well...i guess i'm not the only one doing this yeah i incorterated it into a 3 part every other day exercise i'm sure nero does it mav is probably more of the boxer type, yeah my advice to add to imps point is get a two hand style i use my redemption the dsi is way too smooth                               great job knight point for you

I need to start doing my hour of blade work on top of my workout routine... My shoulders and wrists thank me for it.

with saber spinning, long sweeping slashes, and stopping blades, it really does a workout on the wrists, forearms, shoulders, upper back, and chest.  you start to feel it after a while.  ouch

I do it until I hurt then stop, wait till it goes away, then start again.

The muscle memory that builds up IDK it just feels so fluid.

Yea i'm starting to get a feel for dual wielding.  But the spinning i'm still gettin used to.  That space between my thumb and my index on my right hand, the bone is getting worked from all the spinning.

Exactly!

Make an O with your Index and Thumb and grip the saber.

Then just do your spinning and let the saber just roll around in there.

Forget about griping the hilt with a full hand, when spinning all you need to focus on is that O spot.

My wife said doing it like that really helped.

gettin a little off topic, but, i dont exactly do it that way.  i do the open hand style of spinning.  i'm thinkin about wrapping those common spinning points with some leather wrap or something padded, like tennis wrap, or bat wrap.  I am adverse to it cause i dont want to make any "permanent" alterations to my saber.

Remember friends, exercise is only half the battle to weight loss/maintenance.  Good diet is the other half
