Weights and resistance training will also be incorporated into this well-rounded class.Ī dynamic and explosive class that incorporates kickboxing techniques with an intense cardio workout. This cardio conditioning class could include HIIT, plyometrics, step, kickboxing, and other innovative cross-training techniques.
Plyometric exercises that may be combined with cycle conditioning to get you burning 500 plus calories per class-it’s a must-try to build your stamina and endurance! Take your ride indoors as an instructor guides you on an all-terrain journey that will get your heart pumping and challenge you to give a little more.
I can not tell you the number of times that I have had clients over the years fight me on trying new exercises because they are too focused on thinking they look weird doing it or they don’t think they are good at it. It is doubly important to not shy away from a style of exercise just because you don’t like it especially if you don’t like it because, it makes you feel like you are struggling, uncoordinated, weak or silly. By constantly challenging yourself with different movements, pace, intervals, and intensity you not only make sure that your body can handle whatever life throws at it but it can also help you to avoid injury, and even burn more calories during your exercise sessions. This is always a good reminder of why it is important to train in a multitude of different styles.
Not only is it a nice mental exercise of trying to remember the movement combinations (especially as you get tired) but it targets your muscles in such a unique way, that traditional cardio and strength training just don’t quite match. However, I am always pleasantly reminded of how challenging and how much fun cardio kickboxing can be.
I have to be honest that I often forget about cardio kickboxing workouts as I tend to lean towards traditional strength and/or HIIT in my personal workouts.
