The Circuit Breaker period in Singapore has kept us all indoors for some time now. And while we’ve definitely discovered some creative ways to keep in shape by working out at home, we do certainly miss the Muay Thai gym.
We’ve come up with a short list of reasons why you should seriously consider Muay Thai training as your primary form of exercise, especially as soon this society imposed lockdown period ends. Today, Evolve Daily shares five reasons why Muay Thai is the perfect activity to get you back in shape post-circuit breaker.
This is in stark contrast to, let’s say, spending an hour on the treadmill each day just aimlessly jogging about. Muay Thai is fun and accessible to people of all ages, no matter the gender, body type, or fitness level. Many people turn to Muay Thai as their go-to cardio workout. Muay Thai is especially popular with women, because it empowers women with the knowledge of self-defence. The learning curve for Muay Thai is not steep at all. Training is very efficient, and streamlined. You obviously start with the basic punching and kicking combinations, and then you learn a little bit of defence. The techniques are simple yet very effective.
Punching and kicking the pads, practicing your combinations in sparring, and performing the strength and conditioning exercises, helps give people an outlet for their frustrations.
