By: Jonathan Quartuccio Published May 21, 2009 - Westchester Magazine@ While hybrid cars may be the latest trend on the road, hybrid workouts are becoming the latest fashion in the gym. Some creative trainers have mixed and matched various components of staid, traditional exercises to give gym goers a refreshing challenge, with some interesting results. Which are best? Here’s what the pros selected. KickFit Circuit Want to burn 800 calories an hour while learning how to fight? Try Muay Thai kickboxing taught by Peter Belmar of Belmars Martial Arts and Fitness in White Plains. Muay Thai, a martial art, is referred to as “the science of eight limbs” because you use each of your shins, elbows, hands, and knees, which differs from American kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do where the moves and kicks are usually done above the waist. “In Muay Thai, you punch, kick, knee, and elbow the kickboxing pads,” Belmar says. The Muay Thai kickboxing circuit is a 60-minute training session followed by 15 to 20 minute floor exercises. Belmar recommends training two to three times a week. There is a six-week-long beginner’s course for $160, or you can sign up for three months for $280.

On behalf of Belmars Martial Arts and Fitness, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated and/or contributed to the Martial Arts for St. Jude event on Saturday April 25th. This event would not have been a success without your commitment and dedication to helping St. Jude continue their work to finding cures and saving children with special needs. We are happy to report that your donations to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital totaled $4,527 Thank you again to everyone who pitched in, your generosity is greatly appreciated.
