A Quick and Simple Workout to Add to your Repertoire of Workouts!

With this one, you’ll need to find a large open area. Preferably a field of some sort. A football field, soccer field, etc. With this workout, you’ll take your medicine ball and throw it far as you can using a two handed basketball pass. Sprint after the ball, pick it up and do the same thing in the other direction. Continue this process for how ever many minutes the rounds are in your particular sport.  For example, if your matches in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament are 7 minutes long, then go for 7 minutes.  As far as how many times or rounds you do, that will all depend on you.  If you body and cardio can handle more than 1 then go for it. Don’t over train and over exert yourself on this one. Use the first round and a gauge or a guide to see where your fitness level is at.

Train Safe, Train Hard, and Have Fun!

Great Leg Blasting, Cardio Pumping MMA/Kickboxing Workout

This is a great workout to help get you ready for your fight.  This drill will help you in so many ways, you won’t beleive it!  You get a great upper body workout, a great leg blasting, lactic acid building workout, and it’s great work for your explosive endurance.

1st: Find out how many round max you will have to fight if it goes to decision.
2nd: Find out how many minutes each round is.
3rd: Once that is all found, you will then know how long you will be doing this drill.  For example, if your fight can go as long as 5 rounds for 3 minutes each, then you will go for 6 rounds at 3 minutes each.  Throwing in the extra round for sudden death, tie breaker, etc.

Now for the workout!  You need a partner to hold a set of This Pads!

1. Standing in front of your trainer, perform a burpee with a push up. When you come back down and kick the pad with your right leg.
2. Perform the same thing in step one, except this time when you come back down, kick with the left leg.
3. Go back and forth alternating legs for the duration of the round.
4. Rest only one minute inbetween rounds.

Have fun with this one!

Drop Weight, Gain Stamina, Last Longer

This is just a quick tip!  To loose weight, gain stamina, and last longer in physical activities, do a 1/2 hout of cardio work a week!  Stair climber, treadmill/road work, rope skipping, etc.!  Obviously the higher the intesity the better the results.  In oreder to loose the weight, gain the stamina, and last longer, you also need to follow a proper diet condusive to proper weight management for your body type.

Kettlebell vs. Dumbbell

Over the past few years, kettlebell’s have grown in popularity as an effective means of strength development and conditioning.  However, just as any popular item goes, the price on kettlebells comes with a steep cost that will most definately dent your wallet.  Through my reasearch on kettlebell’s, I’ve come across individuals utilizing cheaper alternatives such as making their own kettlebell’s or buying kettlebell handles such as the kettlestack.  I’ve came to the conclusion that theirs an even cheaper solution to the kettlebell that the handles do not exactly offer.  A good ole fashion dumbbell!  I know there are a few differences but not enough to warrant the purchase of, in my opinion, a way over priced peice of equipment.  For the most part, you can perform any move with a dumbbell that you can with a kettlebell short of throwing the thing!  The difference between using the kettlebell handle and a dumbbell is the push up/one arm rows that is done with kettlebells.  I personally feel that having a kettlebell is So, don’t break the bank and pick up a dumbell!

My Favorite Squat Thrust Complex

For this squat thrust workout, you will need a pair of dumbbells. Preferably hex dumbbells. I love this one because you get a full body workout and if you perform the moves at a good pace you’ll not only get a great strength workout but a cardiovascular workout as well! Enjoy!

1. While standing with the dumbbells held to your sides, squat down placing both dumbbells by you r feet.
2. Thrust your feet backwards into a push up position.
3. Complete one push up then a one arm row with your left arm while balancing your weight on the other arm.
4. Complete one push up then a one arm row with your right arm this time while balancing your weight on the other arm.
5. Complete one push up then hop your feet back to its original starting position when you first squat down.
6. Now stand up, perform a bicep curl to an over head press, back down, and now you are finished with the rotation.

Steps 1 – 6 equates to only one rep! Let the pain begin! Enjoy!
