Everyone wants to know what the best way is to lose body fat. There are lots of great ways to do that but one of the fastest ways to lose body fat, shed pounds and to gain additional benefits is to participate in kickboxing.
When you incorporate a good kickboxing workout into your fitness training plan you can:
Burn a high amount of calories
Get the benefits of both an aerobic and anaerobic workout
Increase your strength
Build confidence and lose stress
Kickboxing Burns Lots of Calories
A good kickboxing workout can burn up-to 800 calories per hour according to a past Muscle and Fitness article. The more calories you burn, the quicker you'll lose weight and get into great shape. If you want to lose body fat fast, why participate in something that will take you twice as long to burn the same amount of calories? Ask your fitness trainer about adding kickboxing into your workout and give extra calories a kick.
Kickboxing is both Aerobic and Anaerobic
Get the benefits of both aerobic and anaerobic exercise to lose body fat. A good kickboxing lesson will sometimes have your body working hard enough to be an anaerobic, strength building workout. Especially when resistance drills, target training, or heavy bag hitting is incorporated. You can lose body fat faster then performing aerobic workouts alone by adding strength and resistance training like kickboxing to your fitness program. Your body will burn more overall calories on a regular basis to support muscle.
Kickboxing Helps You Get Stronger As mentioned before, a good kickboxing lesson will help you get stronger as you lose body fat. In addition to working just about every muscle in your body as you kick, punch and weave your way into great shape, you will build strength through the resistance training a good kickboxing workout supplies. Striking a target rather than just punching the air will give you an added bonus and help you build fast twitch muscle fiber so you look fit to fight over.
Kickboxing Builds Confidence and Helps You Get Rid of Stress
As you learn more kickboxing techniques and get to strike targets harder and harder, your confidence will go up and your stress will go down. Even though you'd never want to find yourself in a physical fight having a little kickboxing training can help you feel more confident, just in case. It's a great way to reduce daily stress and if you take it out on a target and pretend it's a co-worker or your boss, no one will ever know.
To get the maximum benefit from your kickboxing training, choose an instructor or fitness coach who has real "in the ring" fight experience who can teach you a few strategies just in case you need them one day.
If your goal is to lose body fat, then train in kickboxing two-to-three times a week. In addition, calculate how many calories you need eat each day to achieve your goal in the desired amount of time. Either way, kickboxing is fun, exciting to learn and can help you achieve your fitness goals.
