Kickboxing for Fun and Fitness

More and more people are joining martial arts gyms to get in shape, and there’s a few reasons for that. If you’ve ever watched MMA fighters, these guys are in great physical shape and they are ripped. Most of them practice Kickboxing/Muay Thai. If you’re someone who would like to break out of the monotony of traditional workouts, and want something that is fun, that will engage every part of your body, then Kickboxing might be for you.

Why Kickboxing?

Kickboxing training is an intense full body workout, that incorporates high intensity interval training, explosive plyometric exercises, and strength training all in one. Here’s a few reasons why you should do kickboxing:

1)     It engages the whole body. Contrary to popular belief, kickboxing is not just about throwing punches and kicks it activates the entire body. The power of a kick and a punch starts from the ground up, you must have strong legs and a strong core to throw a powerful punch as well as a powerful. Kickboxing training activates muscles that often get neglected in traditional workouts. kickboxing trains cardiovascular strength and endurance more effectively than most of the workouts available today. It has the power to condition the body into being more energy efficient. Take one look at the body of a professional fighter, and you’ll see an incredibly lean and cut athlete that is in prime condition.

2)     Burn fat and build lean muscle. After a few sessions, you’ll notice incredible weight loss. Each one-hour session in kickboxing can burn up to 1,000 calories. That’s a huge amount, and combine that with proper diet, it can really have a positive effect on your physique.

3)     It’s a fun workout. We are creatures of habit and exercising is no exception to that fact. We can fall into a workout routine very easily, after a while we stop getting the results we want, and eventually it gets boring. That’s why I love South Beach Boxing so much they have this thing called R.I.T.E fitness (Routine Is the Enemy). So, you never get bored and you’re always getting challenged. Their kickboxing class is super intense, and their trainers are professional trainers, and ex pro fighters. It’s almost like being in a bootcamp the way they drill you, and the techniques I’ve learned from them have self-defense applications which is extremely fun for me. It’s probably the best place to get real Kickboxing training if you live in Miami Beach.

The reality is, most of us aren’t trying to become the next MMA phenomenon or the next great athlete, but we do admire their ability and their physique. Specially in our health-conscious society where everyone wants to look and feel their best, it’s important to find something that will get you the results you want, and you can enjoy. I believe that kickboxing is the way to go because it offers something for everyone.
