Athletes at all levels have been cross training in mixed martial arts for years now, reaping the art’s strengthening and fat-burning benefits. It was only a matter of time before Muay Thai would be brought to both Milan and Paris's fashion runways and Cabo and St. Croix's pristine beaches—thanks to swimsuit models.
Brazilian supermodel Renata Kuerten is weaving Muay Thai into her meticulous workout regime.
Kuerten is keen to document the sweat equity that she invests in her vocation.
Surveyors can already see the improvement in Kuerten's technique from the Twitpic from June and the video from yesterday.
MMA's benefits are already showing.
Her fellow models are going to want to dial up Randy Couture, Jon "Bones" Jones, and Ronda Rousey for workout tips.
Striking isn't the only exercise the Brazilian dabbles in. She grinds it out on the treadmill. Interval training on treadmills is a proven method of fat loss.
Resistance training is key for toning the trophy muscles.
Who said MMA is all work and no play?
