Aerobic/Cardio Kickboxing
Cardio-kickboxingis a cardiovascular workout that throws martial arts techniques in to the mix. Unsurprisingly, cardio-kickboxing is one of the most popular workouts across the country. It has many health benefits including improving heart function, kicking calories, and a total lower and upper body workout. Plus, it is an amazing stress buster!
Everyone needs a little cardio.
Health professionals will tell you that it’s important to get at least 20 minutes of high intensity exercise a day. Cardio-kickboxing certainly does that. Every body has different needs and different levels of stamina. Our program suits all different types of fitness levels. So don’t worry about if you can do it! You can! Our instructors are here to help!
Shreds Calories
You can burn as many as 450 calories in a single hour with kickboxing and more if you add in some high intensity intervals. Plus, it’s a whole body workout. The “kick” in kickboxing works your legs while punching works your upper body, especially your arms, and builds muscle endurance. Moves like roundhouse kicks work your core muscles, and kickboxing keeps your abdominal muscles constantly engaged. Cardio-kickboxing also builds endurance and stamina, but there are other benefits of kickboxing you may not know.
1. Tone Your Entire Body
A good Cardio-kickboxing class combines kickboxing and interval drills and core training. To increase resistance our school uses kickboxing pads and bags, as opposed to simply air boxing, so you’ll burn even more calories. You’ll work your back and trim your waist because each move requires a lot of core power behind it.
2. Mental Benefits
Sometimes the best way to release stress after a hard day of work is not to collapse on the couch, but with some intense physical activity. It’s an excellent release to be able to relieve your stress on the pads. The workout also increases the release of endorphins, which can diminish stress. It lets you work out your frustrations in a safe environment, where you will learn the proper movement techniques. What better way to let go of the day’s irritations? Kickboxing offers a healthy way to release the day’s challenges, which can also help you get a better night’s sleep and improve mental clarity. The group atmosphere of kickboxing is even more effective in releasing endorphins.
3. Get Fit, Go Home Safe
While the majority of students come to cardio kickboxing for the physical workout, the self-defense aspect is a plus for many people. We teach with an emphasis on “This is why you are learning this combination.” and “This is what you would use this for.” It’s important for people to know why they are doing certain moves and engaging certain parts of their body, as well as maintaining proper form and body alignment. While the goal of the class is not to teach self-defense as you might find in our K.I. Kajukenpo karate class, knowing you can throw a gut wrenching kick, and a fight ending punch is empowering.
4. The Take Away
Cardio Kickboxing is a high energy group class that will challenge you both mentally and physically. It brings together the best of cardio training with interval and resistance training. It’s a great stress reliever and you can learn some self-defense too. So, if you’re looking for something new, something that will shake up your workout, try our Cardio Kickboxing Class.
