Last week was the last week of classes at my University, and after finals and just being so stressed out about last minute assignments and all that jazz, my friends and I decided to blow off a little steam. My friend Amber called a few of the girls who were still in town together, and signed us up for a Kick boxing class.
I was super excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because I have taken a kickboxing class before and I know how good it is for you, especially for relieving stress. I was nervous because I have not been active in a while, so I knew I was going to be super sore, but we have to start somewhere right?
We went on the first day of the class, so we chimed right in doing all the beginner moves, which included: working on our jabs and knock outs, footwork, balance and kicks. This was a complete body workout for me since every aspect of my body was being used. I felt amazing afterwards, kick boxing offers so many benefits and I believe that I will be going back in the future to stay toned.
A few benefits that Kick Boxing offers are:
- The obvious reason of Reducing Stress: witch all the kicking and punching during this workout, you will find that you are unconsciously reducing your stress levels.
- Boost your Confidence: According to Dr. Rose Windale of Healthzine.org, kickboxing helps you release endorphins which will give your mood a boost and help you feel more confident. Endorphins will also make you feel happier and more positive for several hours after the workout.
- Energy Boost: No doubt that after I worked out I was energized to the max, I felt like I could kick butt all day long.
- Burn More Calories: You can burn over 800 calories/hr during a fitness kickboxing session
So go out...get fit, and STAY FIT!!!
Stay Wrighteous.
