What You Need to Know to Choose a Kickboxing Class

How to Choose a Kickboxing Class

Kickboxing isn’t just for martial arts warriors.  It provides fun with a fast-action cardio workout that builds muscles, confidence and burns a load of calories. It’s not complicated like some fitness programs. In fact, the moves are the least technical among all other martial arts according to some experts. If you have always been intimidated by kickboxing you should find a facility that allows a trial class.  Chances are you will have so much fun that you’ll sign up that day for a full program.
If you find yourself constantly trying new workout routines and never keep up with any of them, this may be because your lack of self-motivation. One way to stay motivated is to...

Which Routines Give You The Best Muscle Gains!

Best Muscle Gains: Compound vs Isolation Muscle Routines


During your workouts you’ll use both compound and isolation muscle routines.   A squat exercise is a compound muscle routine.  A bicep curl is an example of an isolation muscle routine.

Compound muscle routines are designed to work several muscles or a muscle group.  A squat exercise engages your core muscles and lower muscle groups like your calves, hamstrings and glutes. Isolation muscle routines work a single muscle or muscle group.  The bicep curl works your bicep muscle.

In order to achieve your best muscle gains you need to focus on the compound exercise routines.  When you use more muscle groups you burn more calories.  You’ll also get a faster workout for all your major muscle groups than if you do a lot of isolation muscle routines. Compound muscle workouts keep your heart rate higher 
for longer period of time too.

You may resort to isolation exercises if you have an injury or if you need to balance out your muscle profile.  For example, it’s very common for one arm to have larger muscles and better definition than the other.  You may have to work on the opposite arm to ‘catch it up’ to the other arm.  Bicep curls and tricep kickbacks are a couple of examples of isolation exercise to correct that imbalance.

The reason compound routines work for best muscle gains is because more of your body is forced to work. Your body adapts by building larger muscles within the muscle groups you are training.

The bench press is a fundamental exercise for your upper body. Not only does it grow your chest muscles but your deltoids and triceps benefit too. The standing military press is a shoulder exercise, but the fact that you are standing tests your coordination and offers more muscular involvement.

Lifting a heavy weight off the floor and pushing it overhead is pure strength as is found when you do a deadlift routine.  When you execute a deadlift your lower back and leg muscle groups are worked but so are your lateral muscles, the rhomboids, erectors, and trapezoids.  Even your hand muscles get a workout. 

Be sure you use a grip and have your spotter nearby! 

One way to get in a great workout, either compond or isolation, is using simply your own bodyweight as the resistance that your muscles work against. If you have not workout in a while using your bodyweight is a great way to avoid injuring yourself as you are getting started. (It is also a great way to go if you are recovering from an injury!)

When parents ask me about their young people begining a consistant workout routine, I point them to the Body Weight Blitz program.

It will give you a great understanding as to why this system is great for anyone regardless of age or physical condition. Every thing can be modified so that you can start right where you are!
