if you tried to pick up the girls that you sleep with that would be a workout....they are LARGE!!!!

I also just started BJJ last week. Also, I went to a Muai Thai class and kicked more in a 1.5 hour session than i did my entire life. That nights sleep was filled with horrible cramps and tossing and turning.
Just curious, how many people are in your class? and how much you paying a month? Mine is 75 and there have been like 6-10 people in each class.

plyometrics

jump...touch floor with fingers...jump high as you can while reachin up...keep head up,back straight and repeat till legs become rubber

You want to work out your hip flexors a lot, as this will help with hip strength, and leg squeezing (used a lot in keeping a closed guard, as well as escaping side control back to guard).

Here are some good ones I do:

Lay on your back with your hands under your bum.

Then:

1.  Do leg scissors, side to side, for 1 minute.

2.  Immediately switch to holding your legs at a 45* angle for 1 minute.

3.  Back to scissors for a minute.

4.  Break

Repeat this same exercise, but instead of holding at 45*, do leg raises for the middle minute.  Then do it again but do egg beaters with your knees up for the middle minute.

It really works your lower abs a lot too, but is also good for your hip strength.
