muay thai hiit
What to get in shape like Muay Thai fighters? Not interested in sparring or all that contact? Don’t worry, we have a Muay Thai HIIT (high intensity interval training) program that will give you an amazing strength & conditioning workout!
KETTLEBELL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING WITH MUAY THAI HIIT CLASSES
It’s no secret that Muay Thai fighters are in great shape! Muay Thai fighters lift weights to improve strength and conditioning, but also to change the fighting style, increase the power of the strike, and to boost footwork/movement. Muay Thai HIIT provides both aerobic and anaerobic workouts, dedicating 60 minutes on Muay Thai training can give you 1,000 to 1,200 calories burned in just one session. This explains why Muay Thai is a perfect way to get rid of stubborn fat and tone your muscles while improving flexibility and having a stronger core.
