WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER, Thai boxer Sandy Holt would think nothing of doing 5,000 sit-ups a day and once did nearly 3,000 press-ups in an hour. Even now, in his 50s, he can do 300 pull-ups at a breeze.

Muscle&Fitness: How important has fitness been in your life? 

Sandy Holt: Fitness has been a way of life since I started martial arts at 15. That was 40 years ago, and, before that, I enjoyed athletics and PT/gym classes at school. Fitness also helps me win fights and competitions. I’ve always said that stamina is the king of all attributes.

What conditioning exercises helped you get fit when you were fighting?
