00:00What's up, guys? This is Jalen Brown, and today I'm going to show you what my typical
00:12workout routine looks like. My typical workout depends, but today is going to be a combination
00:20of four things, weight training, court work, a little pool session, and then also Muay
00:26Thai. The reason why I implement different disciplines into my training is because it
00:33helps me challenge my body in ways that normal versions of training can't. I just started
00:41doing Muay Thai for about a year now. I just wanted to challenge myself in a different
00:45way, challenge my body. It's been great for opening up my hips, which is great for defense,
00:51but also being able to stay low, have greater balance, being able to stay into certain positions
00:56for longer periods of time. Muay Thai, the flexibility of it, and also fighters train
01:01harder. Being able to incorporate that into my mind and my body has been great. This is
01:07my Muay Thai trainer and instructor, Lionel Buggs. I mean, let me do it again. What's
01:14your last name again? Young. Lionel, the bookie man. I like the Buggs. That actually sounded
01:21pretty good. I'm here with Buggs, my Muay Thai instructor. Muay Thai helps his hip stability,
01:27rounding himself, especially in a very conflict and physical sport where basketball, where
01:33he's going to get bigger guys, it's going to try and push him over. He wants to stay
01:36grounded. He wants to be low to the ground, control his center of body, control his balance
01:41of where he gets moved to or how he moves people. So Muay Thai helps a lot with that.
01:45In the defensive aspect, I noticed that he sits down a lot lower. His spring is a lot
01:50better. His mobility is affected tremendously. And as far as Muay Thai goes, he loves it.
01:57He listens. He's very directive, very driven when he goes. We don't do it as much as you
02:02would think, but in the little bit of time that we did it, I could see improvements and
02:06I could see how he got a lot better and built strong rapport for the sport.
02:15Court judges are great just to stay on top of your craft. It's not about how long you
02:20go. It's really about how focused you can be when you're doing it.
02:25A lot of the drills that I do is around trying to increase my focus level so I can just continue
02:31to challenge my mind because the focus and things like that are extremely important.
02:38Everybody has their own philosophy, how they want to train. Usually I just attack the things
02:41that I want to get better at or improve. And then I try to focus my mind on harnessing
02:47in on the details. And my trainers and stuff like that do a great job of pointing stuff
02:51out. And then we just get after it.
02:54Weight training is great for protecting your joints. Building muscles can help prevent
02:59injury. So weight training is a great injury preventative method for me. I do a lot of
03:05stuff to make sure I protect my body from the bumps and bruises and stuff like that.
03:11This is my trainer, Drew Moore.
03:13JB in the past had some hamstring injuries and we just wanted to really focus on hamstring
03:19strength. He's an explosive athlete and his game is all stop and go. So hamstrings being
03:28a deceleration muscle, we emphasize on that strength so he can be on top.
03:34Pool is great for cardio, breath work, explosion training, taking the weights down into the
03:40water. And then also it's a recovery component as well. The more you float, you just kind
03:45of like relax your body.
03:53One of the workouts I like to do is pretty simple. I wouldn't do without any supervision,
03:57of course. I would just take these weights and do some bounds, do some leaps, do some
04:02jumps. Sometimes sets of 50, sometimes more. Or I'll have a vest on. I take the vest, put
04:09the vest on, and I'll tread water for 10, 15 minutes. It'll do some recovery, but also
04:15work some other muscles and things like that. It's been pretty good for my body.
04:19There's so many different components to the element of water that I could talk to you
04:23guys all day about, but being able to work on explosion, being able to work on breathing,
04:29recovery, has been super beneficial on a daily basis.
04:33Work starts when you get tired. Everybody can do anything when they're feeling well
04:38or when they're feeling good about themselves or they're fresh. What someone can do under
04:42pressure is what you can tell about them. Continue to be active, continue to challenge
04:48yourself, continue to challenge yourself mentally, and don't take no for an answer. It's a faith,
04:53consistency, hard work pays off mentality. I look forward to running into you guys in
04:58the near future.
