WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

Muay Thai, often called the Art of 8 Limbs for its use of punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, is a dynamic striking sport originating from Thailand.

It evolved from ancient combat techniques used on the battlefields of Asia, later developing into a refined ring sport that blends power, precision, and endurance.

EVER FEEL IN A RUT FROM THE SAME OLD WORKOUTS AT THE GYM?

There are plenty of workouts you could try, but it can be difficult choosing the one that’s going to give you the greatest health benefits and best results. If you want to lose weight, you’ll also want to choose a workout that will help you burn a large number of calories and tone your muscles at the same time.

The workout you choose should do everything you want it to do – from toning your muscles to improving your cardiovascular health and reducing stress.

GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT FROM YOUR WORKOUTS

We all have times when we fall into a workout rut. We go to the gym, but we aren’t getting the same results we used to see.

One problem may be that you’re doing a workout that doesn’t challenge your entire body. Muay Thai workouts require students to use every major muscle group – and that means it delivers a great workout every time.

In addition to providing an intense workout, Muay Thai builds muscles and tones your entire body. It’s the workout you’ve been looking for.

MUAY THAI BURNS CALORIES AND FAT

The secret to losing weight is finding a way to burn more calories each day than you take in. For most people, that means getting regular exercise to burn some of what they eat.

A single Muay Thai workout can burn as much as a thousand calories. That means that your body will easily burn more calories than you take in, leading to a net loss of weight.

And, Muay Thai increases muscle mass. Since muscle burns more calories than fat does, regular Muay Thai workouts can boost your metabolism, making it easy to lose weight.

MUAY THAI BANISHES STRESS AND ANXIETY

Stress is a part of modern life. It can have a negative impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health if you don’t find ways to minimize it.

Working out regularly releases feel-good hormones called endorphins.

Muay Thai workouts will help you maintain the proper hormonal balance so you can cope with stress as it arises.

At the same time, Muay Thai can also make you feel better about yourself and your body, which contributes to good mental health and makes it less likely that stress will affect you
