![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | If you are a beginning MT practioner, running may hurt your flexibility. I would suggest stretching and kicking. Hundreds and hundreds of kicks on a heavy bag, even thousands of kicks. If you don't have access to a heavy bag kick the air but be sure to wear knee support when kicking the air.

![]() | stretching not only improves your overall health but can help you add 20% more muscle to your body. and it will be functional muscle not just for show. 190 is not that bad, how tall are you? the best way to improve your muay thai is to just do it. if you want to be a good swimmer then you swim running will not improve your swimming, it will help you with the cardio but the time you spent running you could have swam improving cardio and techniques. same with fighting, if you want to be a fighter then you fight. sure running will help but it is a different type of stamina you are building. listen to what your coaches say and spend alot of time training to fight, even when away from the gym. |
