Cardio Kickboxing Videos To Kick Start Your Fitness

You know cardio kick  boxing is always that one thing that specifically jazz up a workout and take you to the next level.

The more you workout the better you feel and are able to do more physical things that you used to do. With the new year in full swing and I am sure you are wanting to get in shape before summer time. Than there is no time to waste.

So if you’re bored with your workout routine or you’re looking for a fitness program that really kicks your rear, consider kickboxing.  Cardio Kickboxing is a fantastic sport for everyone but it’s particularly great for women.

Here’s why.

Well What is Kickboxing?

Kickboxing is a form of martial arts. Actually developed in the 1950’s, it is a blend of Karate and Muay Thai. It’s a sport that involves kicking and punching. It’s a standing sport, unlike some martial arts like Jiujutsu which also involves wrestling. Kickboxing was originated as a form of self defense but it’s such a great program it’s been adopted as a fitness program and a competitive sport.

So you might want to know why kickboxing is something you should consider.

Well kickboxing is an exhausting sport to say the very least. In addition to a great cardio workout, you’re also working your arm, leg, core and gluteus muscles. And you’ll work them until they burn. So it’s a great combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise.

Additionally, because range of motion is important for form, you’ll also become more flexible.

Kickboxing is also a wonderful emotional release. It takes great focus to strike and kick and complete the exercises and motions correctly. And when your foot or hand strike the punching bag or pad, it feels great. And despite what you might imagine, women’s kickboxing classes are generally extremely friendly, supportive and can be a nice social outlet.

Kickboxing is a super fat burning workout. Fat burning happens when calories are burned. And kickboxing burns a lot of calories – 545 per hour. Additionally, you build muscle during kickboxing and a pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat.

Well How Can You Get Started Kickboxing

Kickboxing in general is a low gear sport. You’ll need gloves for your hands and some padded shin guards. Other than that, you need to wear loose fitting comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting sweaty. They should allow for movement. Shorts and a tank top with a sports bra underneath are great. Some kickboxing gyms require you to wear kickboxing shorts.

When looking for a kickboxing class there are two general ways to go. You can take an aerobic kickboxing course at your local gym or fitness center. These are generally very aerobically focused and you will probably not focus on form. It’ll have the look and feel of an aerobics class with punching bags. Complete with the dance track in the background.
