Should I try kickboxing?
Kickboxing workouts are challenging, but so much fun! Kickboxing will raise your energy levels through the roof. Kickboxing includes four basic punches: jabs, hooks, crosses and uppercuts. The basic kicks are the front kick and the side kick.
Proper form is critical to avoid any injuries. Keep your knees bent slightly and when throwing a punch or kick, throw your weight into it by pivoting your waist, feet and knees.
If you are looking for a fat-burning, fun workout, kick and punch yourself to a kickboxing class or check out a cardio kickboxing video. Remember: as with any new exercise program, check with your physician first.
