The 'Hurricane' metabolic conditioning workout routine to get an MMA body

Face it: If you want to be lean and ripped, then you’ll need to work hard. Reaching new heights in any aspect of life usually doesn't happen in your comfort zone.

We can't promise you that it will be easy, but if you’re consistent, progress will follow. It’s time to train smart! If you’re currently in your comfort zone or want to take your results to the next level then you need to try some different forms of metabolic training. One option? Hurricane training.

The Hurricane, the main form of metabolic training used in the Training for Warriors system, and was developed over 12 years ago to train some of the top fighters in mixed martial arts. A Hurricane workout is short and challenging, but worth it.

Try incorporating the Hurricane into your routine twice a week—Tuesday and Thursday is ideal—to start training smart. Just be prepared to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
