  • 3 Reasons Why Kickboxing Gets People in Amazing Shapef

    General

    In addition to being one of the most effective and proven methods for self defense, kickboxing has become one of the hottest forms of exercise in America! People looking for an enjoyable, exciting, fast-paced workout are seeing awesome results by ditching the treadmill and lacing up the gloves.

     

    Let’s look at 3 reasons why the people of Straight Blast Gym’s kickboxing program are seeing such awesome results:

    1. It’s FUN!: One of the top reasons people fall out of favor with the gym is because they become bored of the same old routine. They lift some weights, do some sit ups, and peddle away on a stationary bike. Not very motivating, right? Kickboxing offers an up-tempo workout under the guidance or an experienced and motivating coach. By creating a lively atmosphere and teaching real life kickboxing, the participants actually look forward to exercising!

    2. Get a great, full body workout: Ever hit pads for 3 straight minutes? Man, is it a workout! Kickboxing involves dozens of muscles, including your shoulders, arms, back, thighs, butt, and even your calves. Kickboxing is meant to be done with live resistance, meaning you get to throw real punches and kicks with a pad holder. By incorporating real life resistance your muscles are being set up to become lean and strong. No wonder kickboxers are in such great shape!

    3. Learn real life, practical self defense: So wait, you’re telling me that kickboxing can get me in great shape AND teach me how to throw down? Absolutely! Kickboxing classes will show you how to properly and effectively throw punches and kicks to deliver maximum impact using proper form. Head work, footwork, and proper distance are some of the things you’ll learn to utilize while working different kickboxing combinations with your coach and fellow kickboxers.
