Hi all,

I am new to the Rules of Lifting for Women and to the forum. I'm just starting week 1, in fact.

My question, which may be answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it, is whether the lifting program (2x/week) combined with my 2-3 times/week martial arts training will be enough to see results. How do you all combine lifting and martial arts? I have always enjoyed lifting as a supplement to my karate, but I've had enough of a lay off and do not want to get into the "over-use" injury territory.

As of now, my schedule will likely be: Mon, Thur, Sat- martial arts and alternating Workouts A & B through the program on Tue & Fri. My schedule for karate is somewhat limited by the days I need to be there to assist in teaching, kobudo class, etc. I also didn't want to do a lifting workout on Tue and then another on Wed, so I chose that as an off day. Does this seem workable without being too little?

Thanks for any input!

Leslie
