Cardio Kickboxing is a sport-specific fitness program created by Frank Thiboutot at The Bay Club in Portland Maine in 1992. The original circuit training format was developed to help promote the sport of kickboxing through kickboxing for fitness. The easy to learn techniques used during our one-hour cardio kick-boxing classes are a combination of aerobics, boxing and martial arts. They are based on authentic kickboxing techniques which provide both resistance training and cardio vascular benefits. This intense, total-body workout can improve strength, aerobic fitness, flexibility, coordination, and balance. The American Council on Exercise (ACE), which evaluates exercise products and programs, notes that, during a one-hour kickboxing workout, you can burn up to 800 calories. Kickboxing classes can be a great alternative for people who have become bored with weight-room cardiovascular activities, such as walking or jogging on a treadmill. They also provide an option for people who enjoy the dance-type movements found in aerobics or step classes. Cardio kickboxing is meant to be fun and is an effective program for achieving your fitness goals. Our classes are designed to be just that!
