Some of you may have done some kickboxing, or Tae-bo, but I'm sure some of you have not. Kickboxing is a great cardio and total body workout. Kickboxing will, to put it bluntly, kick your butt!
It's also a great stress reliever. If you ever get the chance to kick or punch a bag like she is in the picture, it's awesome! It's a healthy way to let go of your stress and frustration of the day, rather than keep it bottled inside.
The most important thing to remember when kickboxing is to not snap out your joints. So watch your elbows when you punch, and your knees when you kick. You want to fully extend the limb, but not to the point of locking out the joint--even if it's just for a second. Think of your punches coming from your shoulder and upper back (not your elbow) and your kicks coming from your thighs and glutes (not your knees).
Today's video is a 45 minute Cardio Kick and Burn Kickboxing class from RealFitTV. A warm up and cool down are included. No additional equipment is needed.
