When you think of the ultimate workout, you can't help but think of the way ultimate fighters train. Ultimate fighting is a type of fighting which incorporates mixed martial arts, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and whatever else you can bring to the table!
If you ever watch a match, it is very intense and requires amazing strength and stamina from the fighters. A winner is declared after one fighter is either knocked out or "taps out" of the fight. Tapping out means that one fighter is usually in a compromised position such as a choke hold and taps their opponent or the mat to signal that they can no longer fight.
So how does an ultimate fighter train?
There is no definite answer because each fighter trains differently. Ultimate fighter Chuck Liddell works out with items such as sledgehammers, wheelbarrows, and wooden beams. Frank Shamrock has a program made up of calisthenics, weight training, cardio, wrestling, and plyometrics. One thing I have noticed from what I have researched is that many ultimate fighting programs revolve around a typical boxer's training program. Exercises such as running, jumping rope, sit-ups, push-ups, and footwork are typically in most workouts. This is of no surprise since boxing is a main part of an ultimate fighting match.
How Can You Train Like An Ultimate Fighter?
Your best bet is to locate a gym in your area that specializes in it. Now a days, these types of gyms are sprouting up more often than not. Another alternative are gyms that train in kickboxing or boxing. Finally, you can always take up some form of martial arts. Personally, I would probably start off with training like a boxer. I like more of the cardio stuff like running and jumping rope.
Training in any of these areas are sure to get you in shape while teaching you discipline and self-defense all at the same time. As with any training, getting the ok from your doctor is always a good idea, particularly for such advanced training as these programs provide.
