Muay Thai Training Exercises

(Ben Green) #1

Strengthening:


++ Chest muscles
+ Lower arms, front shoulders, lower back,
stomach, rear upper-arm muscles

Starting Position
Rest with your hands on the ɻoor and your toes or lower
legs on an exercise ball. Hold your hands apart at
shoulder width with your ɹngers pointing up. Tense your
abdominal muscles and the muscles of your buttocks to
stabilize your back, and pull your shoulder back and
down. Your head and eyes point to the floor.


Execution
Bend your arms until your upper body nearly touches the
ɻoor. Your elbows stay close to your body. Next, stretch
your arms and move back into the starting position. Keep
your entire body tensed, and make sure that your back
stays straight.


Variants
If you don’t have an exercise ball, you can rest your toes
on an object of medium height, but this will reduce the
intensity of training.
