Muay Thai and Ballet
I tried out some Muay Thai kickboxing today. It was great. I saw right away where I needed to work on technique and where I need more flexbility. One of the things that many people underestimate is how important it is to have perfect form in any physical activity including strength training. Think of it like doing ballet. Obviously, if you didn’t work on technique and on flexibility, you would be horrible if tried out the range of movements. This is the same thing in strength training – if you don’t practice technique and you don’t have the adequate flexibility, you will not get the benefit you really need. Here is an example: If a person is so tight in their upper thighs (aka hip flexors), and they squat, they will be unlikely to engage the glutes at the top of the movement. What’s the consequence? You promote greater tightness of the hip flexors while promoting greater glute inactivation! This can promote low back tightness and pain, tight hamstrings, and anterior hip pain (aka femoral anterior glide syndrome). What do you do then? Stretch the hip flexors, do some glute activation work, and make sure you are standing up fully straight and squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
