Depending on your club and/or instructor(s) you should be building that lot up with training.

yeah started jogging and going to the gym twice a week between my ju jitsu classes. the problem is the gym where i go is full of body builders who throw roids down their necks as if there smarties.

How about getting your own set of weights?

if it helps i mainly want to tone and build strength. i'm not really that sure about what sort of weight i should be lifting and the amount of reps i should be doing.

If you want tone and lean load on medium weight, say if you can bench 185, use 135. Do strip sets from that. Low weight, high reps is how you get strong and ripped, without getting big. Running will also keep your weight and size down. Look at cross country runners. We lift that way and run, and a ripped as hell.

I do jujitsu and i find these are good training methods to improve overall fitness:
Light weight lifting every day except training for strength Small amount of pushups/situps every day for strength Squats every day (improves leg muscles - good for jujitsu reaps) Jogging every day for fitness Stretches every day to improve agility Also i recommend skipping. It is one of the fastest ways to get fit (commonly used by boxers) :-) Only the dead see the end of w
