Kendo: Strength and conditioning at home 

Eliptical has been the biggest force multiplier for me. 40 min interval training 2 times a week. I am shodan and we beginners put enormous amounnts of energy into our movements. As we settle down and relax it makes 4 or 5 rounds of ji geiko at the end of practice no problem.

Do you guys and gals do strength training outside of Kendo? If so what sort of exercises do you feel most benefit you as a Kendoka ?
