A lot of women from all over the world are obsesses about health, wellness, losing weight and staying fit. However, with the demands of current times and having to deal with daily busy schedules, many hope that they can just spend their free time to relax, head to the beach, or travel to other cities and other parts of the world. Good thing, there are forms of fitness training that can be done easily even when you’re on-the-go or when you’re planning to go away for the weekend.
One of the most popular forms of fitness regimes to lose weight is Muay Thai. Because of its popularity, training camps are found just about anywhere in the world. Alternatively, you can already learn the techniques and moves in a camp or gym close to your home, and you can just practice on your own as you travel.
Muay Thai is a form of boxing that originated in Thailand. As a matter of fact, this combat sport is also known as Thai Boxing and is considered as a cultural martial art of the said country. It has actually been around for several hundred years but only developed to what it is today—as a weapon, the entire body is used in close-combat action.
Not only will Muay Thai be an effective fitness practice in losing weight, it is also has several other benefits including an improved conditioning of the physical body and mental health, more energy and managed stress for daily living and increased motivation and self-discipline. More than that, Muay Thai teaches individuals self-defense techniques that are more effective than other forms of martial arts. Especially for women who travel all the time, knowledge in self-defense could be very useful.
However, there are some women who would resist learning Muay Thai for several reasons such as not wanting to gain muscles that are too large, or the moves are just too masculine. However, the growing number of women who go on Muay Thai training camps have proven that this resistance is actually dying down. Not only does a fit body look good, this training really does help lose weight. It also improves flexibility and reflexes, which make a person become more functional at home or at work.
Next time you travel, there wouldn’t even be a need to find a training camp for you to practice Muay Thai. Simply do some stretches and practice a few moves such as kicks here and there and a few minutes of shadow boxing. Muscles would look great on you. Just talk to your trainer and say in advance that you don’t want to look too bulky so other forms of exercise and training may be offered to you to focus on other parts of the body. But hey, next time you travel and head to the beach, you’d look great with those abs and firm body, thanks to Muay Thai!
