Kickboxing!

I never really saw myself doing a kickboxing class, but I’m really glad they had this special of $30 for unlimited classes in the month of November!

It’s a fairly intense workout but it doesn’t feel difficult.

This sounds counterintuitive I always thought a workout like this would be hard to do as well as intense. It’s really not though, it’s actually pretty simple and you can put as much energy into it as you have.

You get a few simple instructions for five types of upper-body hits, and for types of lower-body kicks. These are given in different combinations throughout the 45-minute workout, along with cardio bursts. You really go at your own pace though, the instructor gives you the combo and you move through them with as much energy and power as you have that day.

Some days my heart rate spikes up high, and some days I’m in a comfortable range, but I still feel like I’ve gotten a good workout.

I highly recommend checking out a CKO gym to see if it could be good for you because I believe it’s good for any fitness level. At the CKO in Warwick, the instructor Mel has created a very comfortable atmosphere that really makes you feel comfortable learning but also still gives an intense workout to those who have been coming for a long time.

I’m a bit worried about what’s going to happen come December, I would like to keep going to these classes but between the gas it takes to get there, the cost of the classes, and the potential for snow, I’m a bit worried about my ability to continue. I would really like to keep it up but I guess we’ll see what happens with the winter!

Oh, I have to go it’s time for some Kickboxing!
