Step 1
Find out where you are weakest and spend time with that skill in training. If your endurance is short, work on your heart rate. If your takedown skills are short, find a trainer skilled in takedowns to work with you. Ask your trainer to point out your weakest spots if you are not aware of them.
-
Step 2
Work on strength exercises that do not build bulk. If you gain too much muscle, it could put you into a higher weight category where you may have a harder time gaining dominance. When weight lifting, go for rapid repetitions with lighter weights rather than higher weights that will build you up.
-
Step 3
Practice anaerobic activities to build your stamina. It doesn't matter how skillful an opponent is, if he is tired out, he will not perform at peak levels. Jog, run or use machines such as the elliptical or treadmill to build your endurance.
-
Step 4
Include range-of-motion exercises in your workout routine to keep you flexible and avoid injuries. If you have been kicking a lot in a training session, include some cycling to get your legs going in the opposite direction.
-
Step 5
Avoid exercise that can cause injury, such as skateboarding or mountain biking, especially if you are nearing an important MMA competition. It doesn't matter how well conditioned you've gotten, if you are injured, you won't be competing at all.
