Cardio-Kick is a fusion of boxing, martial arts and aerobics usually done rhythmically to music. Offering an intense cross-training and total-body workout it utilizes the training routines used by combat athletes in martial arts, boxing and kickboxing. The objective of cardio kickboxing is not to make a “fighter” out of you, but rather to give you a holistic, total-body training program that combines an aerobic workout with the movements and techniques of martial arts. In addition the class provides strength training benefits because of the “resistance” when punching or kicking. However, unlike training in combat sports, there is no physical contact as in sparring. Cardio kick is offered as a fun and functional alternative to conventional aerobics training for fitness buffs who want a great workout with equally great results
