The question is can you do MMA workouts at home?
The answer is that there is a lot of MMA training that can be done at home. However, certain aspects of training require the use of an MMA gym.
Things like grappling, learning technique, and sparring require a partner and a trainer who can teach you these types of skills. In addition to these factors, you can do an MMA workout at home, if you have the determination and discipline to work hard.
At the end of the day, training for MMA requires high levels of fitness, and fitness can always be increased no matter where you are, and you know what you have to do. Home training can be done if you have a certain type of equipment.
A set of weights that includes dumbbells can greatly increase your stamina, strength, and fitness levels. You can pick up a used set of dumbbells pretty cheap in the used ad section of your local newspaper. You don’t have to buy new equipment if you don’t want to. Let’s face it, a used weight will weigh the same as a new one.
Your MMA workouts must be hard and heavy. Forget doing small drills, you should use your time and training skills wisely on drills that will provide you the most value.
What MMA workouts at home should you do?
You need to do exercises that target many muscles in one movement. These exercises are called compound exercises and include exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, shoulder presses, bent-over rows, dips, and pull-ups. All of these exercises have an impact on the vast majority of muscles.
To get stronger you need to focus on lower reps, something between 5 and 10 is ideal.
To help get your MMA conditioning up to par, you can do your MMA exercises with very little rest between sets. This is a tough training method, but extremely valuable. Simply because in a contest they would not allow you to rest to catch your breath. So you need to train in a way that mimics a fight.
This will not only help your conditioning, but it will do wonders for your stamina and stamina, which are very important parts of MMA training.
I have to tell you, training this way is not for the faint hearted, but no MMA fighter could be accused of being a faint hearted. However, his strength, stamina, and conditioning levels will increase dramatically. He just needs the will and determination to stick with MMA training.
As you can see, MMA workouts can be done at home, but at some point you may need to consider joining an MMA school.
