This makes your body mobile too and gaining strength becomes easier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 Practice with your 1st Mudgar for 3months atleast<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mudgar or Kai Karlai helps in body conditioning and builds the initial strength(tendons become stronger). Once you practice for 3 months, you become good at multiple swings, making you stronger and boosts confidence too<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 Do Mudgar Marathons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mudgar marathons are where you do 1 swing for at least 1000 reps. You need to do this along with Kshatriya Pranayama. The goal is to have more energy after the workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: Do Mudgar marathon with 3 different swings. One swing per session of 1000 reps. This gives confidence to go for the Heavy one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do all 3 steps, you are ready for the Heavy Mudgar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> \u2060The question of how much heavy should you go &#8211; If your using 3-3.5kg, don\u2019t go more than 5kg. Even 1 kg Mudgar difference feels a lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Want to Start Mudgar the Right Way?<\/h4>\n<a href=\"\/#calculator\">Find Your Perfect Mudgar Weight<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most common query every Mudgar student asks is &#8211; When can I go for a Heavy Mudgar?
