What are some good exercises for Muay Thai training?

I%26#039;m talking about stuff like push ups,running,sit ups,jump roping,or just working with a punching bag.P.S. give me all the suggestions you got the more the better.|||Hahaha you have a lot there. I%26#039;m sure you have even better imagination than that.





Just work it all very hard and you won%26#039;t really have so much time or room for more.|||Running for your stamina. jump rope (this is done in class), push ups and sit ups for overall conditioning.





This will get you somewhat fit when you start muay thai training.|||Clap pushups, jumping squats, and kickboxing drills on the heavy bag will help you build power.





Also remember to stretch out those hips every day. Condition your knuckles every day by pressing against a wall with your fists (don%26#039;t punch it). Condition your shins by rolling a smooth wood stick over them while applying pressure.|||Do push ups in sets, alternating with bicycle crunches. Do the pushups looking forwards, as you use more muscles this way.





Bridges/planks are also an excellent core workout.





Running up stairs and slowly jogging down them will help your legs significantly. Find a stadium for this.





Pull ups are also excellent, and hit many of the arm muscles that you will miss with pushups, but you need to find a pull-up bar to do them.





End with a set of knuckle push ups- useful for any martial art which involves punching.





Aside from that, drill your techniques over and over. You want them to be practically reflexive.
