The low-down: This martial art developed by the Israeli military is based
around hand-to-hand combat. The principles are about self-defence – never
attacking – with the emphasis on speed, endurance, strength and
coordination. Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats and crunches build
strong arms, shoulders, back, abdominals and legs, while grappling
strengthens the heart and lungs and burns calories.
Calories burned: 400-600 per hour.
