Suwitmuaythai in Phuket for Muay Thai and Weight Loss program

When we picture Martial arts, we are probably thinking about fists and kicks, beating the opponent, and bleeding. But what does it have to do with losing weight? However, that’s a common misconception because martial arts and Muay Thai are not meant to be violent sports. All of the contrary, we are taught about self-control and respecting your opponent. We should not mistake competitiveness with aggressiveness. And in the meantime, as we practice for a championship or in the comfort of our house, we are reaping thousands of health benefits, including weight loss. How does it work?
Muay Thai is a boxing sport native from Thailand. It is known as the art of the eight limbs, because it teaches how to use your entire body in a succession of kicks and fists. You will be using parts of your body you didn’t even know you could use to strike your opponent. And in the process, you will be moving and working out every aspect and every muscle group in your anatomy. All of this movement has two different effects. One of them is that your muscles will be correctly toned and worked up, all of them. You won’t need anything else, no gym, nothing. Second, you will be moving a lot, and burning a lot of calories as you do. It is estimated that you will be burning around 700 calories in one session of Muay Thai, which is usually more than the number of calories you eat in a single meal.
Additionally, Muay Thai also combines aerobic and anaerobic exercises. You will be performing bodyweight exercises as a part of your training. That is according to the fitness recommendations for adults, that says we should do a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of aerobic physical activity, and at least 2 sessions a week of anaerobic physical activity. This combination is the best to lose weight, because your body gets what it needs to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.
Your entire metabolism will change, become more rapid and effective. And in turn, your levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose will drop dramatically in case you have problems in that regard. All of these changes are part of the heath benefits you’re giving your body by practicing Muay Thai.
