Well I have decided to take kickboxing at a karate studio ! I am a tad nervous. This is what I need for my last 20 lbs it is 3 times a week and the other days I will be running 3 miles ! Anyone taken this kind of kickboxing ?

Good for you!!!! I keep saying I'm going to do yoga... I really need to check into it and do that for ME!!!

I love kickboxing!! it really does tone your body and give you a sense of power! After each class, I felt like I could conquer the world. However, I over did it and developed planter fiscitis in my foot. Be sure to wear good shoes, take plenty of water, a towel for the ton of sweat and have fun!

I was thinking of doing something like this to get my last 25 lbs off. I will keep an eye on your progress or maybe jump on this trek with you. How did you decide where to go ?

I have thought about taking up boxing or kickboxing. Let us know how it goes!

I teach that type of kickboxing. It's great fun, a huge stress reliever and wonderful for your body!

ENJOY!!!

Years ago, I had the Billy Blanks kickboxing video. I really enjoyed it and used it frquently, but due to increasing arthritis (I was in my early 50's - I am 62 now) my doctor said to knock it off. Now that I am on this Sleeve journey, I work with a chair boxing video more appropriate to my physical challenges. I agree that boxing even without the kicking can give you quite a hearty workout. And yes, it is fun.

I used to do kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do. LOVE it! Have fun

I currently do kickboxing now and my surgery is probably going to be scheduled for the end of June. How long do you think I'll be away from that high intensity workouts?

I had to put my martial arts training and kickboxing on hold for three months. Falls are bad. Forceful kicking/punching/twisting = bad.

Low intensity if fine after a few weeks, but kickboxing doesn't generally fall into that category unless you aren't doing it right.

Thanks! That helps. I'll have to double up before the surgery to get in my fill before hand

Only one class and I loved it. Get to have gloves and get to do it in bare feet and look snazzy in my karate outfit. Hahha
