Three Reasons MMA Type Workouts are Catching On

Workouts are like fashion in that they are very much trend driven with many copy cats to follow all looking to perhaps get in on the money on the way up to the peak. 

A few years ago, when Tae Bo was hot, you saw the cardio kicking boxing market come into fruition. You also see this trend and follower pattern at work in the ab market. A few years ago you had ad machines that rolled you on the ground and almost instantly it seemed like you had 4 choices from different companies, each more exotic than the last.   It’s a trend business and it’s a tweak and improve what has come before you business.

You won’t go wrong taking what’s hot and making it a little better by taking the things that people are complaining about and making it an advantage in your marketing.  This has been a dominant trend in the approach of launching the GSP RushFit Workout. This workout was conceived as a counterweight to the P90X phenomenon but also a way to take two highly popular pop movements and make them into a home workout. The first is the MMA or “cross fit” style gym workout. This is basically about using weights and total body movements done at high intensity and ultimately to exhaustion.  What we must realize is that you must have proper supervision and expertise so you don’t work too hard or not hard enough.

Basically the GSP RushFit Workoutis a way to capitalize on the growing sport of MMA and the undeniable trend in working out towards grueling full body work with weights.  Basically these MMA type workouts are catching on because they serve three needs.

First, they make excellent use of the participant’s time without sacrificing results. This is why I continuously harp on adding high intensity interval work into your yearly regimen. You get more return on your time and see visible results much faster.

Second, you inevitably are forced to work with excellent form to not only see results but to prevent injury. I can’t tell you how often I see people try to exercise without having a firm grasp of form and do damage which means they end up quitting or worse. MMA type workouts that are properly supervised generally get such great results that there is no reason to try and make it too hard and break form.

Third, the MMA style workouts fly by. GSP RushFit Workout for instance is 40 minutes, but the level of consistent movement is such that it seems much quicker. Less boredom means less chance of burning out.
