7 Ways Womens Kickboxing Will Completely Transform Your Body

Taking women’s kickboxing workout classes can help you build muscle and blast fat in just one workout, especially if you’re looking to shed some weight before your upcoming summer vacation. It is an amazing complete body workout that targets all of the major muscle groups in your upper and lower body, plus your core, making it ideal if you’re on the lookout for ways to tone up, without bulking up.

Kickboxing training is effective as both a cardio workout and an all-around strength-building routine. Research has shown that women who practice kickboxing for 12 weeks are able to reduce their body fat percentage and improve their overall health. And, while you may be hesitant about putting on boxing gloves, research shows that even just taking a 45-minute-long class at least a few times per week provides these benefits. When you commit to taking classes several times per week, you will be able to improve your overall health and boost your self-esteem in the process. 

If you are looking for an effective full-body workout that will produce lasting results, read on to discover how you can completely transform your body with kickboxing.

Burn Hundreds of Calories

It’s no denying that kickboxing will leave you drenched in sweat. And it’s true that you can burn hundreds of calories in under an hour.  In fact, it’s not uncommon to burn 700 calories or more during the 45 minutes of class! 

Why does kickboxing burns so many calories and work so well for weight loss?

  • You’ll burn more calories than most other workouts because not only are you moving quickly throughout the class, but you’re constantly engaging multiple muscle groups at once which means more energy spent per minute. 
  • A high-intensity women’s kickboxing workout uses more energy in a short amount of time, which means you’ll continue to burn more calories after your session ends – for the rest of the day!  

Tone and Strengthen Your Whole Body

Adding kickboxing to your regimen is highly effective at toning muscles. Not only does it work out your arms, shoulders, and legs but it also helps burn off fat around your midsection and thighs. This type of exercise has been proven to increase muscle mass while at the same time reducing fat tissue in areas such as arms, abs, backside, chest, and legs.

A bonus: Because it strengthens muscles all over your body, regular kickboxing helps ward off injuries by strengthening connective tissue throughout your entire physique.

 

Increase Your Flexibility & Coordination

It’s no secret that kickboxing requires a lot of agility, but did you know it can also help improve your balance, flexibility, and coordination? When kicking and punching, you have to utilize all parts of your body—especially your core—to make sure each movement is precise.  You’ll even see an improvement in your flexibility and range of motion in your hips.

 

Improve Your Cardiovascular Health

Tired of running on the treadmill? The benefits from all the kicks and punches during your class provide an incredible cardio workout. Not only will you burn calories while working out but you’ll also see improvements in your blood pressure and heart rate when compared to other forms of exercise such as yoga or weightlifting. Regular, high-intensity exercise is one of the best things you can do for your heart.

 

Achieve a Great  Sense of Accomplishment

In addition to losing weight and toning up your body, you may also find yourself feeling happier and more confident. And when you feel good about yourself, it’s easier to make healthy choices for your body—including eating better and exercising regularly.

Taking your first kickboxing class can be intimidating, especially if you’re new to exercise. Many people mistakenly think kickboxing is simply about learning self-defense skills or getting fit in a fun way; however, it’s actually quite demanding and provides an effective full-body workout. 

After just one class you’ll know exactly why kickboxing isn’t just for fitness fanatics—it’s for anyone who wants to get leaner, stronger, and more agile. In fact, many women are flocking to kickboxing classes because they offer a unique opportunity to learn how to defend themselves while also burning calories and toning up all over. The sense of accomplishment you’ll feel after just one class will be unlike anything else!

 

Workout With Friends and Make New Ones

If you like to work out with other people, joining kickboxing classes is a great way to do so. Our women’s kickboxing classes offer the ability to train with other women on the same fitness journey as you and create friendships that can last for years.

Exercising with other people encourages you to push through the hard stuff. Not only will you enjoy their company, but you’ll likely have more fun than you would on your own. For example, if you’re having trouble sticking to your workout routine, try enrolling in a kickboxing class where you meet new people and break a sweat. In fact, studies show that women who take part in classes like these tend to lose weight faster than those who work out alone. 

 

Learn a Lifelong Skill

A great way to ensure your learning proper techniques is to regularly practice by attending women’s kickboxing classes in your area or 1:1 with a good trainer. Either way is a great way to get fit! At Seven Spears Martial Arts, we guide you through every step of kicking and punching correctly. During training sessions, you will work with your trainers to develop your skills and technique by hitting and kicking a heavy bag, pad, or another person. Our instructors will be able to help you feel comfortable while still pushing you to reach your potential. 

It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or if you have experience with martial arts; anyone can benefit from learning how to kickbox properly. And not to mention, a really fun workout. 

If you’re looking for an enjoyable way to get fit—and make new friends along the way—our women’s kickboxing classes might be just what you need for the perfect full-body workout!
