Thai boxing and Youn Wha Ryu or "What have I gotten myself into?"

[McTahr]

So I'm an average build gimpy heart/lung out of shape gamer/physicist.

I decided it would be a fucking fantastic idea to sign up for Muay Thai boxing and Youn Wha Ryu martial arts in the same semester. For the next six weeks I'll spend four days a week slowly dying.

What I would like to know is a few pointers and tips for making my downtime more productive, as well as if it's possible to shorten the recovery time through special dieting / stretching or whatever.

Mind you I am mostly vegan. I'll do dairy/whatever will help but meat/fish/poultry is still out of the question.

Also suggestions in general for fitness because I don't own this thread. It is a collective clusterfuck of collaborative communication careening carefully close to complete candy because there's no way I can finish that.

(HIKYM because FIST! rar)

(Oh, and I'm also doing daily pilates because I get bitched at by my friend if I skip on her. Yes I do pilates, yes my initials are J. D., no I am not a doctor, but feel welcome to call me girl names anyway.)
