There are so many ways to lose weight. Everyone has their own methods, but today I will talk about Muay Thai, an ancient martial art that has gained global popularity. Not just for its incredible self-defense or fighting techniques, but also for its incredible health benefits. Lots of people from different countries go to Thailand to just learn this form of art and get in the best shape of their lives. So let me tell you how Muay Thai can help you shed those extra pounds and transform your body.

Hight-intensity full-body workout

Muay Thai is often referred to as the art of eight limbs due to its fists, elbow, knees and shins. This means you are engaging your every muscle group in your body. Each session involves intense cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises. The combination of striking (punching), kicking and clinching ensures that you are consistently moving, which maximizes calories burn between 600-900 calories per hour, making it one of the highest calories burning workout available.

Boost metabolism

The high-intensity workouts in Muay Thai can significantly boost your metabolism. This means you continue to burn calories even after your workout has ended, which is called afterburn effect. Your body becomes more efficient at metabolizing fat and converting into energy.

Enhance cardiovascular health

Muay Thai is an excellent cardio workout, one of the best. The fast movements and intense training get your heart rate up, which improves your cardiovascular health. One thing that you need to know is that an improved cardiovascular system is more efficient at delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles, which can enhance your endurance and performance during physical activity. An improved heart also means a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Build lean muscles

Building lean muscles through Muay Thai training can be incredibly beneficial for weight loss. Just so you know, muscle tissue burns more calories at rest compared to fat tissue. So, having more muscle mass increases your basal metabolic rate. The combination of resistance training, also called weight training, and aerobic training in muay Thai helps in building and maintaining lean muscle, leading you to more toned and lean physique.

Stress relief

Stress can be significant barrier to your weight loss and can often lead to emotional eating, also known as binge eating, and a sedentary lifestyle. Muay Thai can be your biggest stress relief because your body release endorphins which are the body’s own natural mood lifters. All the training sessions can also serve as a form of meditation, helping you focus, clear your mind and reduce your stress levels.

Incorporating Muay Thai into your fitness schedule can be a big game changer for your weight loss journey, whether you are a beginner or advance in your fitness game. The world of muay Thai offers you a dynamic and engaging way to achieve your weight loss goals, and it’s always good to try something new in life.
