Hence you use almost your whole body while Muay Thai training, you burn your fats from your upper body as well as your lower body.

2. BOXING / KICKBOXING

Boxing and Kickboxing are almost the same combat sports and the main difference between Boxing & Kickboxing is that ‘we can use only punches or can block punches in Boxing whereas in Kickboxing we can use legs and punches both’. Boxing is a game of mind and body as well. It is the most technical sport in all combat sports. Boxing is a wonderful sport that anyone can start practicing even if they have never ever heard about it before. A beginner can start with just bag work while using proper training and protection equipment including Boxing Training Gloves, handwraps, and a Training Punching bag. You can even start your basic training for personal fitness with your home gym (you can order your home gym equipment by clicking here).

Eating natural foods, on time and proper intake of water is the most important part of our healthy life. Whether we are looking for losing weight or our goal is to keep healthy, properly taking care of our food and water intake is crucial for living a balanced life. Even sometimes we properly take care of our workouts but we still can misbalance our good health by ignoring the importance of a healthy natural diet.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

When we talk about a healthy lifestyle the number 1 thing we got into our minds is the sleeping routine. Nighttime sleep is also as important as food and workouts. If you want to know more in detail, I would recommend you read a book by Mathew Walker with the title, “Why We Sleep”. Sleep is foundational to health, and without enough of it, your risk of disease increases significantly.
