Fitness kickboxing aims for the same goals as all the other exercise
opportunities: maintaining a healthy weight, decreasing health risks, and contributing
to the enjoyment of a healthy lifestyle. Also similar to other sports is the
community formed amongst kickboxers. Once someone joins a studio, suddenly a
support group exists. As all kickboxers and fitness gurus can relate, everyone
is trying to reach some goal – from weight loss, to toning muscle, and to
staying motivated.
Like all sports, fitness kickboxing used for body sculpting purposes has its
own flare when combining aerobic, anaerobic, and strength work outs. This
dynamic trio of goods results in a flawless fitness formula.
How It Works
For seven days a week, I Love Kickboxing Buckhead guides multiple groups through a variety of
workouts within one class. We know from experience that kickboxing can be a
love-hate relationship. It is a workout where someone is itching to stop midway
of a set of bicycle crunches but somehow finds the energy to force self to push
through, knowing it will be worth it. When results show after a couple of weeks
of hard work, the mind is convinced to keep going.
While engaging in cardio and toning work outs may not be so new to
individuals, learning the fundamentals of kicking and punching are new.
Kickboxers learn that it is not a job well done if only relying on the one fist
or the one foot to deliver a blow. They learn that the entire body has to be
behind every blow and jab. With constant training and understanding on how to
throw a jab or a punch, two amazing effects: 1) the mind engages with the body
on what to do, and 2) the body’s performance gradually becomes stronger. These
effects come from the time spent in kickboxing classes, as they build a
person’s confidence.
The Beauty of Fitness Kickboxing
Fitness kickboxing brings out the power people did not know they had. When
the mind sees the body’s capabilities, it changes the attitude of the actual
body performing. As the kickboxer watches the punching bag almost tip over with
a hard front kick, and realize that it was because of good technique, she/he
wants to do it again and again. Soon, the individual’s stamina is able to do a
minute’s worth of multiple hard front kicks in a row.
What to Look Forward to
Through the practice of persevering and the art of striking a body-sized
punching bag, kickboxing shows evidential progression. At the start of every
week, people in our Atlanta
studio come in and feel different. They approach our floor with a new kind of
determination compared to the previous week. A boost of power is added to their
strides. And with every day that kickboxing is attempted, the body and mind
become more aware of their capabilities.
Do you ever wonder what you should eat before going to exercise or when to eat before going? Many people make the same mistakes. It's a common mistake to eat right before going to exercise or they might not eat enough. So I am hear to help you to make better choices of what to eat and when you should eat.
When should you eat? A common question that our members have when coming to a lunch or evening class. If you want to eat before class you will want to eat at least an hour before. This way it gives your body time to digest. Also, you don't want to eat anything to heavy or greasy even if it is an hour before class. Once you start moving around you'll start to feel it and greasy heavy foods don't give you the energy that you need to make it through your workout. You can eat after your workout if you would prefer. It's actually really good to eat after your workout because you are still burning tons of calories an hour after you exercise.
What should you eat? Like I said before you shouldn't eat any real heavy or greasy. A big salad with grilled chicken with a light dressing is perfect to eat at least an hour before your workout. If you want a little snack before or after your workout, a banana is a great food to eat. It's not too filling. They're especially good for after exercising because they can prevent muscle cramps. You also want to make sure you drink plenty of water before and after your workout. You want to avoid dehydration and it helps you keep your energy up to make it through the kickboxing class.
Once you put all these things together you will feel amazing throughout the kickboxing workout and find yourself not feeling so tired. It will help you even outside of just your daily workout, you will feel better in your every day life.

living. It helps you mentally; you keep the stress out of your life. Keeping

"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible
into the visible.” - Tony Robbins
Goal setting is an important aspect of all areas of life. In
order to accomplish anything you have to figure out where you want to go, then
make a plan for how to get there. This is no less true when it comes to fitness
and living a healthy lifestyle. The American Council on Exercise recommends
setting goals the SMART way:
SPECIFIC: The fitness goals
must specifically state what is to be accomplished. They must be easily
understood and should not be ambiguous or subject to interpretation. For
example, rather than stating you would like to improve your fitness level, set
a specific fitness goal to be able to run a mile in 12 minutes.
MEASURABLE: The fitness
goals must be measureable so that there is no doubt about whether you achieved
them. Measurable fitness goals also allow you to evaluate your progress. Goals
can be measured objectively or subjectively (i.e., how you feel and look), or
both. For example, you could measure your percent body fat and body weight, but
also monitor how your pants fit.
ATTAINABLE: The fitness
goals must be attainable—not too difficult or too easy. Easy fitness goals do
not motivate, and overly difficult ones may frustrate you and lead to a
perception of failure.
RELEVANT: The fitness goals
must be relevant or pertinent to your particular interests, needs and abilities.
For example, when preparing for a 5K walk, running quarter-mile sprints would
not be the best approach.
TIME-BOUND: The
fitness goals must be time-bound by specific deadlines for completion.
Timelines can be both short-term and long-term and should help you stay focused
and on track.
Make sure you choose goals that are realistic. It is much healthier,
and much more easily maintained, to set a goal to lose 1-2 pounds per week than
10. Choosing fitness a goal that is unhealthy or unreasonable leads to burnout
and injury. Ultimately, you want to establish habits that will stay with you
for the rest of your life.
Measureable and attainable goals keep discouragement at bay.
Tangibly assessing how many pounds you have lost, either by stepping on the
scale or by seeing how your clothes fit differently, keeps you encouraged and
wanting to continue. Find the sweet spot between goals that are too easy or too
hard so you don’t get lazy or frustrated. You may need to set some short-term
goals along the way to your ultimate goal.
A good mix of goals that are either process oriented or
product oriented will keep you motivated. An example of a process goal would
be, “I am going to go to kickboxing three times this week.” A product goal
would be increasing the amount of weight you can bench press or losing an inch
off your thighs.
Have some activity or fitness workout routine that you enjoy
and grab someone to enjoy it with you. If you enjoy it you will tend to stick
with it. Be prepared to work through the times when it is just plain hard,
though. Establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes diligence and
self-discipline, but goal-setting can keep you on track.

Who doesn’t want to boost their metabolism? Well before I
get started, I want you to know the definition of metabolism. This will help make
more sense of all the things I talk about and how it will help you. Metabolism
is the process by which the body breaks down food to produce energy.
Well I
want to start off with the most important things to do, which are WORKING OUT
(of course!) and EATING A HEALTHY and NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST. Working out is
going to help get your heart rate going and get your energy up, which gets your
metabolism going. I like to start my day with a short simple 10 minute workout
to get the mind and body going. Specifically a high intensity workout is great (such
as KICKBOXING) because it makes your body work harder. Weight training is
important too especially once you get older as it helps build the muscle which
also gets metabolism going.
Now for
the importance of breakfast, you should NEVER skip breakfast. It is the MOST
important meal of the day. This is because it gets your body up and going for
your day. And it should be your biggest meal of the day because you have the
whole day to burn off all those calories. For example you could have lots of
fruit, make a fruit smoothie and some Greek yogurt. You could also have whole
grain cereal with soy milk if you’re in a hurry.
Drinking
a big glass of ice cold water is an important way to start your day. You want
to consistently drink water throughout the day, once again great for that metabolism.
It also keeps you from mistaking your thirst for hunger. This now brings me to
eating habits; you should graze all day long (2 healthy snacks a day such as fruits,
vegetables, or nuts). This helps your body have a consistency of burning
calories all day long helping the metabolism. You definitely do not want to starve
yourself because then your body will start to store the food and cause weight
gain. A good habit to form is you should have a cut off time at night that you
cannot eat anything else; 8pm is a good time. This is because if you’re eating
too late at night then your body doesn’t have the time it needs to break down
the food and burn the calories.
You
should always have protein in your diet. It’s great to have because your body
digests protein slower than it does carbs or fat, this makes you feel full for
longer (very important, helps to not over eat). By eating protein your body
burns twice as many calories by digesting protein than it does fat and carbs. Adding
spicy foods to your diet is great form boosting metabolism; it helps you drink
more water during your meal as well. Last but not least, eliminate Trans-fats
from your diet! They slow down your metabolism which cause weight gain (not
good).
I hope
after reading this you took from it that working out and what you put into your
body are crucial to having a healthy lifestyle and having a good metabolism. The
better food and liquids you put in your body, the better it will feel. And the more energy you put into working out,
the better your body will look and feel.
