I have not hit a weight room in over three years, in MMA we primarily focus on our core and work it into each session. As with MMA Triathletes focus on the core as well, I found a nice quick video via <a title="http://triathlon.competitor.com/" href="http://triathlon.competitor.com/" target="_blank">triathlon.competitor.com</a> which show three easy exercise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes I just started training and a newbie somehow I fell into the Multisport trance via another Multisport or should I say Mixed Martial Art. In an effort to improve my cardio I decided I needed to run more, once I started running I thought I should throw in a few days of biking, hey I just moved to <a class="zem_slink" title="Oahu" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=21.4666666667,-157.983333333&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=21.4666666667,-157.983333333%20%28Oahu%29&amp;t=h">Oahu</a>, HI no better way to see the island then the method of self propulsion.  Then there is the water that surrounds 100% of the island, my wife and I are at the beach enjoying it so why not swim in it.</p>
<p>In the quest to increase my cardio for my <a class="zem_slink" title="Mixed martial arts" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_martial_arts">MMA</a> training has now lead me to the pursuit to become a <a class="zem_slink" title="Triathlon" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triathlon">Triathlete</a>.  After reading Ben Greenfield’s September 2009 article “<strong>What Really Motivates You?</strong>” in <a title="TRI MAG" href="http://triathlon.competitor.com/" target="_blank">Triathletemag.com</a>. I thought what is it that has pulled me into this sport and why? My answer:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Of course I want to say “yes I finished a Triathlon” although deep down inside I am thinking “I am a Triathlete” sounds so superior, so renaissance.  Those who are humble and say “I like the sport, I like to compete, it keeps me healthy” are either part-timers who will fall off, or just not being straight up.</strong><strong> You don&#8217;t do Triathlon&#8217;s to stay healthy, running alone will do that. This is sport for headstrong competitors.  Who doesn’t want to say “Fuck ya I finished a Triathlon this weekend, what the fuck did you do?”  I am brash in your face, maybe not what the sport needs, although I need the sport! I am Jack’s fierce sense of competition.</strong></p></blockquote>
