• Prepare your body
• Before starting doing exercises whether they are
  MMA workouts or other types of exercises that you
  do, you have first to prepare your body which
  means that you must do some exercises or moves
  that help you to increase heart rate and to
  prepare the muscles of the body for the strong
  and tough moves that you are going to perform.

Preparing muscles which is known as warming up
takes from 5 to 10 minutes and this will help the
body to be flexible and the muscles will respond
easily to the fast and sudden moves without
causing injuries. Sprints, squats, stretching,
walking, jumping rope and arm circles are
examples for warm-up exercises

is useful and substantial for raising your heart
rate which in return helps you to burn fat and
lose weight

miles in just 20 or 30 minutes, so try to exceed
this limit and run the same distance in a shorter
period of time.
