Watch out, there is a new fitness fad out there, kickboxing. Now I know what some of you girls are thinking, “sounds manly” or “I’m not very violent”. These are two myths that are associated with fitness kickboxing.
Everyone knows the beautiful Adriana Lima, how do you think she gets in shape for her Victoria Secret fashion shows? The answer kickboxing! Celebrities all over are getting into this new fitness fad and I think it’s time you should to!
Fun facts about kickboxing:
- You can burn anywhere from 500-750 calories in one one-hour workout
- It’s a full body workout even if you don’t realize it
- It’s a major stress reliever; think of how much better your feel once you punch the stress away.
- It encompasses both cardio and strength training, the ultimate workout
