KICKBOXING VS EVERYBODY

If you’ve been thinking about trying kickboxing but something is holding you back, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for. 

For some, kickboxing can be super intimidating but we’re here to assure you that these workouts are fun, fast, and empowering - so there’s nothing to be afraid of. We’re convinced that kickboxing can beat any other workout out there. Here’s why.

Kickboxing Has Major Health Benefits

  • Improved heart health
  • Increased muscular strength
  • Better balance
  • Higher confidence and self-esteem

Kickboxing really gets your heart pumping and since, after all, your heart is a muscle, the more it pumps, the stronger it gets. So, that’s one example of why kickboxing rocks. But, more on that later.

In terms of the physical benefits of kickboxing, you’ll also notice increased muscular strength and better balance. 

As you kick, punch, and move around the floor, you’re training your muscles throughout the entire body. It’s truly a full-body workout. And since the power from your extremities comes from your core, you’ll be improving your balance as well. Not to mention the strength that will form in the tiny muscles of your joints which keeps everything stable and strong.

You’ll find that all these gradual improvements also improve your mood and self-esteem, too. So, don’t be surprised if others notice an extra pep in your step thanks to kickboxing. 

Now, let’s circle back to how kickboxing improves heart health and explain a little about the science behind it.

Kickboxing is More Effective than Other Workouts

When a workout is effective, it means that you’re getting maximum results in a short amount of time. Kickboxing is considered a HIIT workout that switches back and forth from your maximum effort to short periods of rest. 

It’s the most effective kind of workout because you can burn a huge amount of calories really quickly. During HIIT workouts like kickboxing, your body learns to recover more efficiently and your heart gets stronger as it pumps more blood. 

HIIT workouts are incredibly for your heart health because it keeps your body in an anaerobic state. Essentially, it keeps your body guessing by constantly spiking the amount of energy required and this kind of interval training does wonders for your fitness.

FUN

Well, chances are, you got sick of doing mundane reps or running on a treadmill. It gets real old, real quick and eventually, you couldn’t convince yourself to stick with it. Kickboxing is a totally different story because it’s actually fun. You won’t even know you’re working out!
