Here’s why Kick boxing can flay that final tiny weeny bit of love handle of body fat, that other cardio activities cannot…
1. Metabolism through the roof!
The cardio-conditioning element of kickboxing is one of the most effective ways to burn fat-especially that stubborn belly fat that’s associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. It is more efficient at reducing belly fat than resistance training, or long distance running, by burning an average of 67 percent more calories!
2. Tones while it burns..
Using not just your arms, but your legs, core and entire body to jump, kick and punch.. there’s no better all-rounder exercise than kick boxing. Those flabby under arm fat will be gone faster than you can say, jack robinson! Engaging your core improves coordination, while the constant movement in kickboxing improves flexibility and reflexes.
3. Self defence for women
Let’s face it women, knowing how to throw a punch, or to dodge one, is better than not knowing how to throw a punch, or to dodge one, innit?
Yes indeed – keeping your wits about you in a harassing or threatening situation is key, but being strong and having some self-defense knowledge and maneuvers is important too. Learn the skills for survival at kick boxing class so when the time comes, you are well equipped to defend yourself.
4. De-stress
Women of today wear so many hats. Daughter, Wife, Mother and career woman. How on earth do we de-stress? well, sometimes the best way to release stress after a tough day is not to booze or binge eat, rather to take it out on some serious physical activity! Kickboxing is super effective in releasing endorphins. Kick and punch and release them feel good factors, in a safe environment.. can’t think of better release!
5. Bringing Sexy back
There’s nothing sexier than a woman who thinks she is sexy. And as your body changes and your confidence grows(with the returning 6 pack) believe me, you will be bringing sexy back in no time. Stay motivated and keep at it.. change is on the way!
I’m glad that you talked about how important self-defense knowledge for women like us. I think women should aim this to protect themselves if they encounter any vulnerable situation. I still can’t find time to enroll in a self-defense class but, I will definitely find time in the next few days.
I find it awesome when you said that a woman who does kickboxing can help burn off excess body fat in order to prevent heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Learning about this convinced me to hire an in-home coach for my wife and buy a boxing ring for her in our spare room. That way, she can get the right body just in time for her high school homecoming.
