Bodyweight exercises are a staple in MMA workouts.
I’m sure you’ve done your fair share of pushups, situps, chinups, squats etc… I know I have!
But we often get stuck doing these same exercises over and over and over, often because our instructors don’t know any better!
There are these 2 old kickboxing instructors at the club I train at and no word of a lie, these guys do the exact same warmup routine, which lasts about 25 minutes, EVERY CLASS.
And these guys have been teaching since at least the early 90’s!
That’s why when I first met my buddy Adam Steer and we started talking shop and he showed me a few new exercises, I was like a kid in a candy store.
They made my body move like only happens by accident when you’re rolling and you have to scramble out of some awkward position.
There’s no doubt that these exercises will improve your MMA game.
Find out why by watching the video and then giving them a shot:
Bodyweight training is also great because you can do the exercises anywhere, any time.
That’s why it worked out perfectly for my vacation in Costa Rica, which is where all of the new bodyweight exercises I learned were filmed.
I also filmed an absolutely KILLER circuit that I call the 10×10 MMA Bodyweight Circuit, details to come…
