Alas, fitness is a journey and requires constant commitment. You can’t expect your results to last a lifetime if you stop putting in the work. Not to mention that aging can do a…

Strength and conditioning is crucial for Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) students as they can improve your overall performance and reduce the risk of injury.⚠️
Strength training exercises like squats, deadlifts, and chest/shoulder presses can increase your overall strength and power, allowing you to execute techniques with force and control on the mat. Conditioning exercises like interval training, cardio, and circuit training can improve your endurance, allowing you to sustain a high level of effort for longer periods of time. 🏋🏼♀️
Practice functional movements: BJJ involves a lot of dynamic, multi-planar movements, so it's important to incorporate exercises that mimic these movements in your training. For example, if you are looking to improve your explosiveness and power, you may want to focus on exercises that involve explosive movements like plyometrics. If you are looking to improve your stability and balance, you may want to focus on exercises that involve balance and single leg training agility on the mat.
Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are a type of exercise that involves explosive, high-intensity movements. These exercises are designed to improve power, speed, and explosiveness, and they can be a valuable addition to the training program.🤸🏼♀️
Some examples of plyometrics include box jumps, depth jumps, jump squats, and bounding. These exercises can help to improve your power and explosiveness, allowing you to execute techniques with more force and speed. Plyometrics can also help to improve your coordination, balance, and agility, which are beneficial for BJJ.
Interval training can help to increase speed and power by challenging your body to produce maximum force in a short amount of time. By performing exercises like sprints or plyometrics at a high intensity for short periods of time, followed by periods of rest, you can train your body to produce maximum force quickly and efficiently. This can help to improve your reaction time and explosiveness on the mat.🏃🏼♀️
To incorporate interval training, you can try adding exercises like sprints, burpees, jump squats, or mountain climbers to your routine. Start with shorter intervals and gradually increase the length and intensity as you progress. You can also try using cardio machines like a treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical for interval training.
Flexibility is also important in BJJ, as it allows you to move freely and easily execute techniques. Incorporating stretching into your training routine can improve your flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.🧘🏼♀️
Lastly, proper strength and conditioning can also help to reduce the risk of injury by strengthening your muscles and improving your endurance. This can better prepare your body for the demands of BJJ training and competition and reduce the risk of common injuries like strains, sprains, and overuse injuries.🤕
