At first glance, kickboxing can be intimidating. It’s easy to assume that if you don’t have a martial arts background or you’ve never even thrown a decent punch at an imaginary opponent, then it might not be for you.
But, you still might be a little bit intrigued. Especially if you’re searching for a workout option that’s fun, new, and anything but boring.
Here are a few reasons why women should try kickboxing:
1. Learn Self-Defense Techniques
Kickboxing is known for being a great option to increase your fitness. However, you’ll also pick up a few self-defense skills. Having even just a little knowledge of self-defense could help you if you ever find yourself in a threatening situation.
2. Burn Calories
Kickboxing is a high-intensity workout that burns a ton of calories. You’ll kick, punch, duck, pivot, and then do it all again while toning your arms, legs, and core.
3. Relieve Stress
After a tough day, it can be hard to talk yourself out of plopping down on the couch. Kickboxing is a healthier option that allows you to relieve quite a bit of stress.
4. Improve Confidence
Not only will you notice the changes to your body after kickboxing for a few weeks, but you’ll also feel a difference. Kickboxing can be empowering and leads to a boost in self-confidence.
5. Get a Full-Body Workout
Kickboxing works almost every muscle in your body, including your heart. The power and rotation used in kickboxing make it an excellent core workout, as well.
