To really get in shape it's important to train several hours a day at least 4-5 times a week. Of course this doesn't necessarily mean you have to train in only Thai boxing. Does the school you train at offer anything besides Muay Thai? I have gotten into the habit of training 3-4 hours a day in different disciplines, JKD, Muai Thai, and Kali,each one helps to develop different muscles. By cross training you'll be able to shock your muscles into shape by working them in different ways. Training outside of classes is always helpful, light jogging and weightlifting; especially on days when your not training helps a lot. Bruce Lee always said that after 2 days of inactivity you start to lose some of the progress you made from the last time you trained.
