Pre-Workout and Post-Workout Nutrition

Engaging in physical activities like power workouts, boxing and kickboxing trainings burn unnecessary fats in the body apart from strengthening its cardiovascular and muscular components. But for you to be able to perform well in such fitness activities, you have to fuel up. And what better way to do that than to eat, right?

Eating Before Your Power Workout

Carbohydrates are your body's preferred fuel source. You need to fuel your body so it can train at its best. We are not saying though that you should load yourself with plates of mashed potatoes and food rich in carbs prior to your fitness classes. The rule is: do not eat more carbs than you need. You want every gram of carbohydrates you consume to be used as an immediate fuel source, not be stored as fat.

During Your Power Workout

Make sure you hydrate yourself in between fitness activities, especially if you are engaged in boxing and kickboxing since they make you sweat a lot. Proper hydration is necessary to keep your pace while working out. Just make sure you don’t drink above the appropriate level so as not to bloat yourself. Water is more recommended over power drinks or sports drinks. Some sports drinks load your body with unnecessary sugar content that can ruin your diet.

Eating After Your Power Workout

Your body’s fuel level after an intense workout will certainly be low.  You may have even tapped into reserves to complete your workout. The body's first priority is correcting blood sugar balance and replenishing glycogen. The best way to keep up with the changes your body undergoes after working out is by eating protein-rich foods. But do not underestimate what fast-acting carbohydrates can do. Also called simple carbohydrates, they are easy to digest and can supply you with a lot of energy in the soonest time possible. Examples of fast-acting carbs include fruits, potatoes, pasta, white rice, cereals, and even smoothies! They certainly make a fun way of cooling off after in intense power workout at your fitness club.

Personal Training: Making Kickboxing Comfortable and Easy

A popular choice of training for both men and women should be both a stress reliever and fitness workout. The benefits in taking on such a workout are plentiful and worth the sweaty aches. Kickboxing can transform your workout and lead to further toning of your body not to mention increase your endurance. Those two things are what everyone wants from a good workout. Personal training is a way of helping you create a workout at the training intensity level that suits your current fitness level. Having a personal trainer would also keep an undivided attention, extra motivation, and encouragement. For those who prefer to work out in the comfort and privacy of their home or work environment, personal training is the best program for you.

Kickboxing reduces stress as you can kick and punch your way to a stress-free zone within minutes. Plus, the movements in kickboxing challenge several core muscle groups and will give you a total body workout fast. Kickboxing improves coordination as it strengthens your ‘core’ and improves your reflexes and coordination skills. The speedy punches and kicks in the kickboxing routine will give you a chance to focus your energy to execute each movement successfully. Personal training usually emphasize on core training, which includes the abs and lower muscles, will get an unintentional workout just by performing the punching and kicking training. However, a full kickboxing workout should include strengthening the abdominal and back muscles through such exercise as crunches and side bends. Building one’s core is building one’s stamina.

Personal training needs one who is empowering and energetic; a trainer who incorporates the use of controlled kicks and punches in a mixed cardio-activity using bodyweight to tone and define the muscles. Personal training emphasizes on fun and self-development; not pain and injury, if you are tired of the monotony of treadmills and other gym equipment, kickboxing is a good choice for those who look for a workout that is refreshing, challenging and dynamic.

Kickboxing workouts offer several benefits for your body and mind, and are a great choice for getting out of a fitness rut. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just getting started with a workout routine, kickboxing can help burn and strengthen.

Kickboxing Workout for Fitness

Kickboxing is a sport that has been around for hundreds of years. It requires cardiovascular endurance and speed. Our kickboxing workout is not intended to train anyone for a fight. What it does, however, is to take the spirit and physical demands of kickboxing and channel it into a challenging and fun cardiovascular workout that is sure to help people like you burn calories like a professional kickboxer.

An average kickboxing workout burns an average of 500 calories an hour. It targets your arms, shoulders, abs, thighs, and buttocks in one workout through the following movements:

Punching

Punching is one of the usual components of any kickboxing workout and it involves the use of heavy bags or speed bags, and pads. Quick jabs and hook punches are the best combination if you want to tone your upper arms, shoulders, and chest.

Kicking

Leg motions are another aspect of our kickboxing workout. There are three primary kicks to start out with. They are front, side, and roundhouse kicks. We usually start with kicking at nothing just to help you stretching and increase your kicking range. As you go through your regular kickboxing workout, you will eventually kick bags, pads, or punching dummy. These help you quickly tone your leg muscles because you use your entire leg to maintain a strong balance and stance while doing multiple sets of kicks.

Core Training

Your “core” includes the abs and lower back muscles. And while these parts get unintentional workout when you perform the punches and kicks, our kickboxing workout still includes core strengthening exercises such as crunches and side bends. Building the core helps you grow your stamina as well as tone your body.

Our kickboxing workout is guaranteed to be not only an excellent cardiovascular workout, but also a positive and productive way to relieve stress.

Do not worry if you feel a little uncoordinated during your first class. It is completely normal. People react differently to the various moves included in the workout. We usually make our routines by combining basic movements that get better with practice. It usually takes at least three to five classes before our attendees feel like they know the movements. So don’t stress yourself too much and just enjoy our kickboxing workout!
