Page 106 - Muay Thai Training Exercises

When you compare your training plan with the plans of
professional athletes, bear in mind that they have been
building up the performance level of their bodies in a
continuous process. If you regularly overexert your body,
your performance will stagnate and you will face a greater
risk of injury.
Saiyok and Kem pay close attention to their bodies.
They endure a heavy training workload to be in top form
for their competitions. Both athletes are careful to get
enough sleep: six to eight hours at night and two to three
hours at midday. They don’t go out partying and don’t
participate in extensive leisure-time activities. To
accelerate the regeneration of their bodies, they treat
themselves to nuat, Thai therapeutic massage. Kem also
takes care of his body using warm herbal balls.
