MMA(Mixed Martial Arts)..It's Amazing...

MMA workouts are far better for you than any kind of other stuff out there.And today i am going to explain      
           you that what is so amazing about this MMA stuff.....Here we go......

1.MMA provides you a variety of full body movements for which human body is made.e.g:-squats,lunges,push-ups,pull-ups,dips,handstand....i know, you do it in the gym also, so here are some more:-
Bear crawl,Monkey hogs,chicken walk,rolling forward and backward(remember the last time when you did it..?),Trade mill(not your gym equipment, its a kind of exercise like sprinters lunges),Jumping jacks,High knee tucks and here is the best part:-Various strikes(kicks,punches,knees,elbows,blocks),Grappling techniques,Chokes,Self defense techniques which could be very useful for ladies in today's world.

2.Muscles:-It helps you build lean muscles as it puts so much stimulus on muscles.A muscle grows when
    you use that,, like doing cycling on high levels builds leg muscles and so do leg presses..but the point
    is that,if you can build legs and improve your cardio vascular health with increasing your endurance and
    power....by doing cycling ..so why do leg press...?

3.Fat burning and Weight loss:- Fat = Energy stored and a session of MMA pushes you to burn aprox:1200
   calories.So within two to three sessions per week,you can burn 3600 to 4000 calories.And remember
    that 1pound of fat=3500 calories.As i think it is one of the toughest sports in the world, so workouts are
    very challenging.(In a typical gym workout,you burn approx:-300 to 400 calories).

4.Results:-You don't have to cry in front of your trainer for not getting results i f you do MMA.You will see
   the results from your very first class(felling light effect)....and after your two to three sessions you will see
   your weight going down.

5.Good for ladies:-A few days back,it was in news that in Saudi a U.S navy seal lady choked out a man
   to sleep who was trying to rape her.
Now you must be thinking to join a MMA club.....right..?So don't waste your time,go and join one.

MMA(mixed martial arts)For Weight Loss and Muscle Gain

Recently i had an amazing experience regarding my weight loss and muscle gain.Every time in my posts i talk      about caloric intake and caloric out put and i have a long list of guys and girls,men and women who dont want to change their lifestyles but still wants to lose weight(fat).What i have found is that working out at weekends is a good way to increase your caloric out put.And what if i say that you can loose upto one pound of fat just in two to three days...sounds amazing isn't it...?And this time i will not tell you to cut on your diet...that also sounds amazing.....?Wait ..wait..if i am not telling you to cut on your diet doesn't mean you can eat anything..just keep your diet same as it is now these days but add two to three classes of mixed martial arts in your workout routine.Do your normal workout at gym for two to three days and do mma for two to three days....and you would see the difference within one or two weeks.
Let's share my results of doing mma for three weeks:-
1.As most of you know me as a gym rat..i used to workout 6 days a week which included heavy weights                    
   and some cardio and caloric restriction.At that time(three weeks ago)i was putting on some weight
   because of some bad habits  and i turned to 80 kgs.
2.As i am a huge fan of UFC(ultimate fighting championship)i decided to join a mma gym..
3.I limited my workout at gym from 6 to 3 days a week and joined mma gym for two days a week.
4.I didn't change anything in my diet.
5.Saturdays were my jiu-jitsu classes and sundays were Muay-thai...both for two hours.
6.After completing my 10 sessions i have  lost 5 kgs..and my muscles are always pumped up.
7.Learning new things for self defence and enjoying my martial arts workouts, as i am a black belt in Karate
   i really know the benefits of martial arts..
8.My legs and core muscles are getting stronger after each session..
9.My posture is better now..not having that lower back pain anymore..
10.Best part of this kind of workout is that i can burn upto 1200-1500 calories in one session that means
     2500-3000 calories at weekends...dude that almost equals to one pound of fat as 1pound of fat=3500
     calories...isn't that amazing...?
So do not waste your time and make a smart choice by joining a MMA Gym....
