From Angel Losin<\/strong> to Liza Soberano<\/strong> to Jane de Leon<\/strong> and now to you<\/strong>, it’s time to prove that any Filipina can be Darna<\/strong> and be real-life a superhero! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since it was just revealed that Jane de Leon landed the role last week, her exact superhero regimen isn’t set in stone yet, but early interviews<\/a> indicate that she plans on doing Muay Thai<\/strong>, functional fitness training<\/strong>, and even putting on a few pounds of muscle<\/strong> for the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from these workouts, Jane also has a history of dance<\/strong>, which is sure to have kept her fit and active<\/strong> throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Muay Thai is a great choice if you want to train to look, act, and feel like an action hero<\/strong>. It’s a combat sport similar to boxing in that it focuses on striking, but unlike boxing Muay Thai uses your fists, feet, elbows, and knees<\/strong>. So it won’t just look like you can beat up bad guys- you actually can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to Muay Thai, you’ve got a lot of options as most places that offer boxing lessons will most likely also have Muay Thai classes<\/strong>. Regardless of where you workout, it’s important to find an experienced Muay Thai coach<\/strong> who can not only teach you the basics, but also guide you to the fitness level that you want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to strength training, “functional fitness” can mean a lot of things. You have classic weight lifting<\/strong> programs, circuit training and CrossFit<\/strong> studios, and even yoga<\/strong> classes- any single one of these workout methods will help you become stronger, leaner, and more in control of your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our guess is that to achieve that strong and slender look<\/strong> that Darna is known for, Jane will focus more on bodyweight than heavy weights- and you should, too! This probably means a lot of planks, burpees, and overall circuit training<\/strong> that builds on strength and conditioning without getting too <\/em>bulky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But you shouldn’t cut out lifting weights from your workouts entirely! You should still be lifting but at a lighter weight and higher reps<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, dance practice is a great exercise to round out your Darna superhero super-workouts. Though it may seem out of place for an action-heavy look, dancing offers a lot of underappreciated benefits<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from keeping you light on your feet and teaching you how to have expert body control and graceful movement<\/strong>, dancing is also just plain fun<\/strong>. It’s a great way to recharge and shake off all the fatigue from all the strenuous and difficult Muay Thai and strength and condition training that this Darna-based workout will have you doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Zumba classes<\/strong> to pole dancing<\/strong> and even aerobic sessions that suspend you in the air<\/strong>, there isn’t one single, best dance class- so it’s important to look for the one that allows you to be loose, comfortable, and relaxed<\/strong>. Take your time and find the class that’s best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\nMuay Thai <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
