In this workout we will do a quick warm up followed by 4 groups 2 cardio kickboxing and two abs sections, with different combinations and exercises in each group. This on top of adding in specific core sections to really exhaust those trunk muscles, builds a routine that is sure to please both in calorie burn and in improving your physical fitness. In this particular workout we will be using cardio kickboxing to challenge your muscle endurance, speed and control, especially focusing on the upper body and core but also taxing the lower body’s supporting-muscles ability to maintain balance with your constantly changing center of gravity. Did you know that some NFL teams have their players do ballet and pilates training to improve their agility and control? Long story short if it improves your health, physical ability, or mind body connection don’t shy away from it, challenge yourself with it, learn from it, take the parts that help you improve and ignore the parts that don’t. Those are the exact styles of training you need to do not only for the mental benefit of learning something new but for the physical benefit of filling in holes that your current training might be lacking. I can not tell you the number of times that I have had clients over the years fight me on trying new exercises because they are too focused on thinking they look weird doing it or they don’t think they are good at it. It is doubly important to not shy away from a style of exercise just because you don’t like it especially if you don’t like it because, it makes you feel like you are struggling, uncoordinated, weak or silly. By constantly challenging yourself with different movements, pace, intervals, and intensity you not only make sure that your body can handle whatever life throws at it but it can also help you to avoid injury, and even burn more calories during your exercise sessions. This is always a good reminder of why it is important to train in a multitude of different styles. Not only is it a nice mental exercise of trying to remember the movement combinations (especially as you get tired) but it targets your muscles in such a unique way, that traditional cardio and strength training just don’t quite match.
However, I am always pleasantly reminded of how challenging and how much fun cardio kickboxing can be. I have to be honest that I often forget about cardio kickboxing workouts as I tend to lean towards traditional strength and/or HIIT in my personal workouts.
