Cage Fitness Next Big Thing
Time to take down the stripper pole – 
if you actually jumped on that strange bandwagon – because the fad is over. The next big thing in faddy fitness could be “Cage Fitness,” as in the type of training down for Mixed Martial Arts. And even if you’re not about to climb into the ring and/or cage to pummel your opponent, this type of workout probably has more benefits than the pole dancing craze that swept the nation.
For one thing, would you rather be toned and fit like an “ultimate fighter” or able to swing on a pole? But in all seriousness the Cage Fitness workout, such as the one being endorsed and tested by nine-time welterweight champion Matt Hughes, replicates the actual routines that the MMA competitors regularly go through. This includes a full body, muscle toning and cardio workout, and according to those promoting this workout, can be done in about 30 minutes.
While we’ve heard that hype before, this one does work endurance, strength, power and core, and is done through five rounds that are broken into warm-up, upper body, lower body, combo round and core/cool down. The catch is that you can’t really do this at home, so look for Cage Fitness facilities to pop up, and for MMA classes to be taught at the gym soon.
But if you want to give it a test on your own, Men’s Fitness offers a routine that you can test out.

I really enjoyed your article and would like to know if I provide a link back to your site if I can use your article on one of my sites?
I joined a gym, actually a number of gyms, over the years. Turns out if I have to drive wherever to workout I can easily talk myself out of it. I was so self motivated, Im not certain what changed. So now I prefer to do workouts at home! These have been very helpful in keeping ideas and routines new, great blog, Cheers!!!
