Motor skill improvement – This is probably the most underrated benefit of kickboxing yet the most beneficial to one’s quality of life. What other form of exercise can you achieve these results from only working out 3 – 4 hours per week? Even the busiest of us can spare 3 – 4 hours a week! When a person can commit to kickboxing 3 -4 times a week they will begin to see noticeable results in their body composition in as little as three weeks. In fact women can burn up to 1200 calories in an hour. Well, you are in luck! Cardio kickboxing gives you a complete total body workout. When it feels like every minute of every day is accounted for, wouldn’t it be nice if you did not need to spend multiple hours in the gym in order to lose weight.

A little muscle ALWAYS looks better than zero muscle (skinny fat). This is important because not only do we want to lose weight but we also want to look good. HIT is the most effective way to help women lose weight and build muscle simultaneously. High intensity training gives an individual the most bang for their “fitness buck”. Don’t believe me, Google the images of sprinter versus marathoner. HIT has been proven to be a superior form of training when compared to long slow cardio. Weight loss – Cardio Kickboxing is a form of High Intensity Training better known as HIT. Other kickboxing benefits include weight loss, time efficiency, motor skill improvement, increased bone density, muscle growth, and increased confidence.

Want tone arms and legs? Want that sexy flat mid-section? Well, cardio kickboxing will help you reach your ideal body quicker than most other fitness methods. Believe me getting punched in the face is extremely overrated.
