The new craze hitting the thailand gap year scene, unlike anything else in the gap year industry. It appears that people are growing tired of bunny cuddling voluntarism holidays and deciding to spend their thailand gap year improving their fitness and becoming experts in the Thai national sport, Muay thai Kick boxing thanks to a gap year company called Xtreme Gap.

When you consider a Thailand gap year, 9 out of 10 people would not think about serious fitness training and getting into shape with some tough work outs. Most people think beaches, sunshine and lots of culture, but in the main they think about relaxing. Sure they may break a sweat, but that is usually due to the heat coming out of a delicious red curry, not from the hands of a Muay Thai training.

A Thailand gap year is a great time to improve your health. When you think about it there is no better place to go to if you want to get fit. Everything, well almost everything is in your favour, helping your motivation to actually do some exercise and get fit. The food in thailand is very healthy and delicious, and if you are hitting the beach you want to look good anyway.

Fitness experts say that the recovery period is equally important as the physical training, during a work out regime. Your body needs time to rebuild and become stronger. You would be hard pressed to find a better place to chill out than Koh Tao, with many gorgeous sandy beaches, it is the perfect companion to a serious fitness holiday and Thailand gap year combined.

Muay thai training is a great way to get into shape, you can burn up to 800 calories in an hour, and because the training is one to one and interactive with your trainer, you are pushed hard to perform. The level of personal training is immense, the equivalent costing several thousand pounds in the UK. With the xtreme gap year muay thai training programme, you will not break the bank either.

Like all good adventures, the xtreme gap muay thai training programme has a great twist at the end. If you are fit enough and brave enough, you can actually take part in a fight at the end of your programme. Imagine finishing up your Thailand gap year fighting in a ring against a professional Thai Boxer in front of 200 people!

If Muay Thai Training every day is not enough, there are also a lot of complimentary add ons that you upgrade your programme with, like yoga, Diving courses and freediving. All of these work well with an intensive muay thai fitness regime. Freediving is great for your cardio, and yoga great for your flexibility. Diving is also surprisingly good for your fitness, and not as high impact as Muay Thai Training.

Many people are very pleasantly surprised at just how quickly they see noticeable gains in their health and fitness after starting a Muay Thai fitness course. The first few sessions are no doubt the toughest, but then that is what a gap year should all about: a challenge. After a week or so they get into their new lifestyle and never look back, returning from their Thailand gap year fitter, happier and healthier than before.
