Ok back in July I signed up for Boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing classes but this month (first week of August) I had a serious rib injury and was out for the whole month and I’ll be out during the month of September as well since school has started and my mom really doesn’t want me to go to my gym (it’s an hour away but an easy trip). I’m a Senior now and I have athletics 5th period and we run a lot, lift weights, and do agility but what are some other exercises I can do at home? I want to be in good shape and like seriously fell in love with these sports and hate not going.

Push Ups?
Ab Workouts? Rib is totally fine now?
Plus I do drink lots of water and bought Whey Protein this past weekend to drink while I do my workouts at home or go life weights?

Thanks!

If you want to practice martial arts you should train every part of your body. pushups, squats, ab workout, stretching, weight lifting, and for the ribs you can do twisting sit ups.

Muay thai kick-boxing (not cardio kick boxing)

I’ve never done anything like this before.

I workout on a regular basis, but I’m still pretty skinny. I also run cross country so my endurance is good.

What can I do to get an edge on all the other beginners? (classes start this fall)

Any exercises? Stretches? Things I should know?

your endurance will help you with the pads because i have been doing muay thai for the last year and i have had to start running everyday for my fitness because im out of breath after the second round do not try any streches yourself you could end up hurting yourself just do pushups and situps you will do alot of them in your sessions you will never have much of an edge on the beginners
if you havent done anything before

hope this helps good luck muay thai is a brilliant sport

I’m planning a workout routine I’m going to do everyday with my friend:
30 push-ups
50 sit-ups
30 mountain climbers
20 burpees
15 leg lifts
3 five minute rounds of shadow boxing (1 minute rest between rounds)
4 minutes of padwork (punches)
4 minutes of padwork (kicks)
4 minutes of padwork (punch/kick combination)
5 wind sprints non-stop

We’re both 13 BTW and we’ll improve the exercises every time we improve.
Yeah thanks Kimbo. I needed some more workouts also.

meh..

12 minutes of padwork in total? that’s way too little.. I usually do 30 minutes. It seems pretty easy and too short.. what’s wrong with the one I gave you?

You’re skinny even though you work out because you ran/jog. You’re burning way too many muscle mass. Instead, you need to increase your carbo intake like rice or pasta. Make that a habit 3 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and do the weights, you’ll gain weight.

With regards to your MT class, just train, they won’t let you spar because you’re a beginner. If they do, leave the school and find another one. Just train, hydrate your body and rest. Everything will be taught in class.

Push ups
Ab workouts
shadow boxing
Stretching

Are these good workouts for MMA? Mostly Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and boxing. I started about a month ago and want to stay physically fit.

Thanks.

Any cardio workout would be beneficial for any sport.

Also, you need to find something that would target the sports you are currently training (muay thai, kickboxing and boxing), since you have not done MMA.

Ok I’ve started training in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and boxing not long ago and even want to compete in MMA cage fighting but I only go like 3 times a week (fits my schedule) and while I’m not training when I’m at home I was wondering if these exercises would be ok:

1. Running and Jogging. On the track and around my town
2. Push ups
3. Ab work outs
4. Shadow Boxing
5. Maybe weights.
Any other suggestions?

All of those are thigns you should be doing everyday if you consider being a cage fighter, jump rope is really good as well. Try investing in a heavy bag to put in your house and or outside it is very useful when you are not at the gym and helps me stay sharp and is a great workout since hitting the bag is working the muscles you would be using in a real match just try getting some heavier gloves

I am looking to take up either one of these when school starts. Which is better to get fit and lose some weight ? What if someone attacked you, which would be more practical ?

Thanks !

They each have pros and cons; neither is better or worse than the other. The major difference would be that in jiu-jitsu, much of the emphasis is on flexibility and agility; Muay Thai is a about pure brute force, getting as much strength behind a fist, knee, or elbow as possible. Both are great for getting fit and losing weight and would help you to hold your own in a fight. However, if you feel like you want to focus more on increasing agility and whatnot, jiu-jitsu would trump it; if you want to build muscles faster, Muay Thai would be better. Have fun!

Muay thai kick-boxing to be specific.

I’ve never done anything like this before.

I workout on a regular basis, but I’m still pretty skinny. I also run cross country so my endurance is good.

hands behind your head or back….. and do frog hop around a football field sitting down

then stretch and stretch and stretch

kick about 300 times each leg everyday

learning how to box would make you a better fighter

This is strange to me… I do Muay Thai, and during the workout, I feel great, but a day or so later, I start to get weird soreness. People say this is lactic acid buildup? What should I do to lessen the effect? Also they say it is a function of diet? I eat only healthy foods and lean protein. Do I need more protein?

Thanks for any help?

There is a lot you can do for a post workout recovery. One is to stretch after working out. Then later take a hot shower and then switch the water to cold and keep repeating until you’ve done each twice. That will force the blood in your limbs to circulate better. Next your diet doesn’t matter. You are sore because your muscles are not used to being exerted so much. For me what I found to work the best was Tiger Balm lotion that I bought from GNC. You smear it on your limbs after showering and it seeps into your skin and forces more blood circulation in your limbs. I never would have survived my Muay Thai workouts without it. I went to Thailand to learn my Thai Boxing and in Thailand they have a substance called Namman Muay. It does what the Tiger Balm I just mentioned does and is used by all the Thai fighters. But for some reason it isn’t available in the U.S.
