If you’re looking for a new innovative and HARD workout to try, sign up for Budokon. Developed by Cameron Shayne, Budokon is a fusion of martial arts and yoga that’s designed to create a healthy body and a sound mind which rings true to the JivaFit motto. And celebrities like Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston have been fans for awhile.
It’s a workout that requires you to use every inch of your body and every single muscle from head to toe. This class will help you get stronger without lifting a single dumbell–it’s all about using your body. The class starts with a yoga session, though you’ll do dancing dogs in addition to your downward dogs and classic Vinyasa movements will be modified to the rolling wave. The moves get progressively more challenging as the class gears up for the martial arts set. The crocodile for example requires you to jump to a fighting stance from lying flat on the ground. The practice finishes with kicking, punching, blocking and so on in a martial arts series.
If you want to give it a try, search the site for an instructor near you or watch one of Shayne’s workout DVDs. I tried a couple of them and unlike some fitness videos that aren’t don’t even compare to taking an actual class, these were pretty challenging.
Hey I just subscribed to your feed. Great blog! I have done yoga and martial arts for crosstraining and this class seems like an incredible workout! Not sure if I can propel myself from the floor to a fight stance but it’s worth a shot. I could be ripped in no time! Thanks for the great find!
You’re so right about Budokon! After my first class I was dripping with sweat and absolutely exhausted – but in a good way.
The next day I was sore in places I didn’t know I could get sore. I would highly recommend it!
