Welcome to Maximum Kickboxing.

Our Cardio Kickboxing class is conducted in a high energy, group exercise enviroment. It's more than just your typical kick-punch-to-music type cardio kickboxing class. You'll burn up to 750 calories in just one class with our intense and fun workouts. You'll also gain flexibility and tone your muscles as you strike a bag or pads.

 

Cardio Kickboxing is a fusion of boxing, martial arts and aerobics usually done rhythmically to music. Offering an intense cross-training and total-body workout it utilizes the training routines used by combat athletes in martial arts, boxing and kickboxing. The objective of cardio kickboxing is not to make a "fighter" out of you, but rather to give you a holistic, total-body training program that combines an aerobic workout with the movements and techniques of martial arts. In addition the classes provides strength training benefits because of the "resistance" when punching or kicking the heavy bags and striking pads. However, unlike training in combat sports, there is no physical contact as in sparring.

 

Come join our kickboxing class and get rid of your stress! Our awesome kickboxing workouts are fun and intense.  The exercising releases endorphins, which in turn help you to feel happier and less stressed.  You'll also feel more confident about yourself and your body as you get stronger, gain more muscles and lose weight.  

 

Class times—Tuesdays and Thursdays—6:45–7:45

 

What should I expect in a cardio kickboxing class?

A typical class is 60 minutes. With everyone facing the mirror, the instructor leads the group through specific punches and kicks, to the beat of dance-club music. The class starts with a warm-up period, moves to fast shadowboxing and kicking drills, then to heavy bag work and striking pads, and ends with some core-strength building exercises and a cool-down stretch. Intermixed with this are aerobic conditioning drills such as high-knees, squat kicks and jumping jacks.

 

Be prepared to feel a little clumsy and lost at times - and don't get down on yourself for it. Even if you're a highly conditioned runner or you've been doing step aerobics for years, these moves may be new to your body. Pay attention to what feels right to you. Don't do a move that hurts, and take breaks if you feel tired. Your muscles need time to develop their "memory", and your reactions as the teacher calls out what to do ("jab, cross, hook, roundhouse") will be slow at first. By the second or third class, the awkwardness will start to dissipate. Come join the fun.
