Cardio Kickboxing at Stronger You


These two words seem to grab people's attention like nothing else in the fitness world. Apparently people love to hit and kick things to loud music with a fast beat. In our high stress world, perhaps this should not come as a surprise. People are looking for an outlet and this is not only a healthy one but it is a lot of fun too. You don't have to think, just follow, and do. By the time the class is over, you've had a serious workout and you didn't even realize it. Well, maybe you noticed there was effort required, but the time flies by and you are having so much fun, you don't notice the minutes ticking by.

This month at Stronger You Martial Arts, we've kicked off our new fitness program, calling it Cardio Kickboxing. This new name has gained and is gaining increasing attention. But unlike other programs of the same name, this program is truly a well-rounded fitness regime. It includes the two cardio classes, two strength training classes which emphasize core and grip strength, and one circuit training class that combines strength and conditioning in one workout.

This class includes a series of workout stations using a variety of equipment to challenge every muscle in your body. There is the mighty battle rope for cardio, climbing rope for building grip, arm and back strength, clubbells for shoulder strength and mobility, kettlebells for cardio and muscles in the posterior chain, parallettes for progressing to full pushups, rings for variety of exercises, and the list goes on. You won't get bored with this program. There is so much variety: some of it you will like, but all of it will benefit you beyond your expections.

This is what makes our program unique: variety. And we the strength element, which is crucial, is not overlooked. Cardio is great but strength training is equally important, to build lean muscle mass as we get older.

As well, we warm up with joint mobility, preparing the body for the work ahead. This step should not be overlooked before any workout. It is necessary to staying healthy and injury-free.

If all this sounds like too much for the shape you in at this moment, or if you feel that you don't have the skills required to do these movements, don't worry. All these programs can be adjusted for your particular fitness level. And you will learn the skills as you go. Many of those who sign up have not had any previous experience. We are here to help everyone.

If you read all this and think to yourself, that's great but I do not like to work out with a group of people around. Perhaps you feel self-conscious or have other reasons for preferring one-on-one sessions. No problem, you can contact me for personal training. I can train you privately or with friends or family members of your choosing. Get a custom program suited to your specific needs.

On the other hand, if you are already in pretty good shape and are looking for a program to stay in shape for the winter months, look no further than our Kickboxing Program. You will not be disappointed.

And the best part is the people at Stronger You are the most warm and welcoming people that you will ever meet anywhere. We have a strong social community that is infectious. So beware, once you arrive, you will want to keep coming back.
