One of the great "unintended consequences" of learning about combat-based martial arts and self defense are the almost staggering fitness consequences. In fact, short bouts of intense sparring -- even if for just 15 minutes -- is one of the single best workouts you'll ever get and can sometimes do wonders for your sex drive. The reason why is because, when you spar, you are forced to focus on quick bursts of compound movements that work everything in your body at once. And not just your arms, legs, back, neck. But your internal organs -- like your heart, lungs, and kidneys. And during these short, intense sparring sessions...you naturally and scientifically turn on your body's "built-in" fat-burning, muscle-toning and anti-aging systems. It's absolutely true. In fact, your metabolism speeds up, your muscles burn unwanted fat and your body releases "human growth hormones" -- which many experts believe not only boost your sex drive, but can also stop, slow down and even turn back your body's "age clock." The result? Within weeks -- and I see this all the time in my street-fighting classes -- you automatically drop weight, gain new flexibility and stamina, and look and feel like you're "aging backwards." All from just 15-minutes a day of intense sparring 4 or 5 times per week. And that's why if you are not involved in some sort of self defense or martial arts program -- whether it be in a classroom or even at home with a good home study course -- then you are missing out on some truly spectacular health benefits you won't find at the gym or by doing traditional exercising. |
