Who told you that your everyday workout has to be boring
and strict? Kickboxing and its various other forms can effectively keep your
energy levels going. It’s one of the most recommended and loved activity which
can completely change your outlook towards life in general.
Let’s further discuss its benefits on our overall mental
and physical health.
It boosts
your self esteem:
I believe that if you really want to look good, you need
to feel good first. Everything that we decide to do in our lives starts from
our mind and if we don’t feel confident enough we cannot entirely do anything
wholeheartedly. Kickboxing actually teaches you those confident stances to
arouse your inner true fighter eventually helping you in your daily lives.
It
helps develop co-ordination and balance:
Imagine standing on your one leg and kicking from the other leg. Yes! It totally helps you in finding the right kind of balance. Any good 20-25 minute kickboxing work out will help you engage your entire body in a set of much defined coordinated movements and positions.
It
releases stress:
This is the most promising advantages of opting
kickboxing in your daily work out choices. The four main types of punches
namely jab, cross, hook and uppercut and the 4 kinds of basic kicks such as
round kick, side kick, front kick and back kicks helps in releasing all the
stress from your body. Just imagine your biggest fear as your aim and then kick
and punch right at it. It will feel so good!
It
increases your basal metabolic rate
Those frequent hard and fast coordinated movements which kickboxing
offers ultimately works on your cardiovascular system elevating your heart rate
and your overall endurance. Kickboxing has variety of types but it mostly comes
under the umbrella of high intensity interval training (HIIT) which has its
benefits on the body throughout the day, working on your metabolic rate which
keeps your body in a sustained burning state the entire day.
If you are looking for one exercise form that can affect
your entire body and helps you in toning and shaping your back, arms, forearms,
legs and most importantly your core. Just opt for kickboxing! I believe the most
important aspect of our body is our spine, kickboxing stances helps in the
formation of correct posture which strengthens our spine and back.
It
stabilizes your core:
There’s no doubt that every sort of exercises whether
it’s power yoga, Pilates, running, swimming, cycling or any kind of functional
workouts all aim to engage your core. Kickboxing is the ‘powerhouse workout
form’ which engages your core to its maximum potential hence benefiting you in
your daily lives as well as helping in other forms of exercises.
It
makes you stronger
It helps in building your overall muscle strength and stability. The stronger the muscles the better it helps to carry out your daily chores without getting sprains and aches.
It’s
fun:
Once you start incorporating kickboxing in your daily
exercise routine then only you will realize that how much you are enjoying it.
Keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic situation you can
very easily find amazing range of kickboxing videos available on YouTube and if
you are feeling too enthusiastic then sign up for an online class and learn it
from the scratch.
Disclaimer: It
is always recommended to consult a physician before starting any form of
advance physical activity.
