^^ I'm not really sure what you mean Eric. How is running on the treadmill in the fashion we have discussed not going to improve my aerobic capacity?

As far as conditioning, I'm sure you would agree that my aerobic capacity, if not up to snuff, would be a limiting factor to any specific martial arts conditioning, so we start from the ground up, increase aerobic capacity, then move on.

As for my goals, I don't think they are all over the place at all. I simply want to be back in fighting shape, that means dropping excess fat, increasing overall endurance, and I would like to stave off any muscle loss. Doesn't seem that complicated to me.
