George St. Pierre’s RushFit and the MMA Family of Workouts

I love any workout program or regimen that gives you the opportunity to get the equivalent experience of the pros or make the fans feel like they are part of the experience.

In the area of workouts, we are have basically two primary ways we can create this for the user. One way is to take the people through the preparation process by having them train like their favorite MMA combatant. In this way the person can see the finished product out there making it happen and how great that person looks. I think strategy has been a huge factor in the rise of George St. Pierre’s RushFit. When you can take a guy who looks like George St. Pierre, and you can sort of duplicate what it takes to make you look like George. The other approach that is favored is one where the creators of the workout have you actually do the sport as part of the workout. They take the moves that you are required to do in the actual game (not the conditioning preparation) and build a workout around it. The hope is that you will lose the fact you are working out in a certain level of fun.  I call this the non-workout workout.

You see this to some degree in not only George St. Pierre’s RushFit but also it’s major competitor TapOut.  I refer to these as being members of the MMA family of workouts. The genius of the concept rested initially on the amazing and fast rising popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championships or Mixed Martial Arts sport. The fans are very loyal and will line up outside local bars to see a pay per view feed of the latest championship match. The leap for them wanting that raw power and physique of men like George St. Pierre.

George St. Pierre’s RushFit is the one workout that people talk about when they say that it gets you the P90X results only quicker, but you still get a lot of the weight loss benefits you aren’t accustomed to as much with P90X. This comes with P90X but you get even more whenever you take on the newer workouts which are total body focused. Whenever you are required to use your body in a high-intensity manner.  This is the hidden value of the MMA family of workouts. It will give you more weight loss benefits faster and sculpt your whole body. It doesn’t really matter if we are talking about a gym workout, George St. Pierre’s RushFit or TapOut. They all can get you there.
