Changing Your Mixed Martial Arts Cardio Routines

To get the most effective cardio workout results change your routine up on a regular basis. On day 1 jog as you would normally do. On day 2 jog while wearing a weighted pack back on. You can stuff your backpack with anything such as weight plates, rocks etc just make sure the back pack is strong enough to hold all that weight. Day 3 run on an incline backwards this can be done on a treadmill or up a slope/hill.

On day 4 hit the track jog 1/4 of the way then sprint full speed another 1/4 then drop squat and duck another 1/4 then run backwards for the 1/4 and do it again. Day 5 you can swim and run in the pool. Day 6 skip rope changing variations of the timing for 3 minutes immediately after that start shadow boxing for another 3 minutes then hit the mat with a partner for another 3 minutes for a sparring match. This type of training will give you well rounded cardio endurance for your next mixed martial arts match.
