Kickboxing Fitness can be done by almost anyone. We have programmes to suit a wide range of needs and interests, from juniors and teenagers to adults, senior citizens and even athletes looking to improve their performance.
A typical Kickboxing Training class works all parts of the body and covers all the major objectives of fitness training:
• Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning (Speed and Power Training) • Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Stamina) • Fat Loss • Muscular Strength and Endurance • Flexibility • Agility • Balance • Motor Skills and Co-ordination • Reaction Time (Reflexes)
Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning (Speed and Power Training) Punching and kicking handheld pads and bags at various intensities allows for: • Aerobic conditioning (speed training), achieved by working on handheld pads/bags at high reps with 30-40% maximum strength. • Anaerobic conditioning (power training) obtained by working on shields/heavy bags at 80-100% maximum strength
Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Stamina) Continuous punching and kicking on handheld pads and heavy bags at various speed and intensities over a period of time (e.g. 2 minutes) improves cardiorespiratory endurance.
Fat Loss The intensity of these workouts will keep your heart rate up and the calories burning for a few hours after every class.
Muscular Strength and Endurance The handheld pads/bags act help replicate the effects of resistance training experienced in weight training — so you can also expect to reap the benefits of weight training.
Flexibility Our stretching sessions — before and after each class — will improve your flexibility and help you better execute your kickboxing moves.
Agility, Balance, Improving Motor Skills, Co-ordination and Reflexes Accurately hitting and kickboxing handheld pads/bags will help you achieve better balance, hand-eye co-ordination, agility and reflexes.
