Are you bored with your current fitness routine?
It may be time to kick your way to one of the hottest workouts around. Kickboxing, also referred to as boxing aerobics and cardio kickboxing, is a hybrid of boxing, martial arts and aerobics that offers an intense cross-training and total-body workout.
It blends a mixture of high-power exercise routines that strengthen the body and mind, decrease stress and hone reflexes, while also increasing endurance and cardiovascular power. While kickboxing’s roots are in full-contact fighting, it has found a safe and very effective niche in the fitness community.

Tip # 1 - STOP storing new body fat!
It amazes me how many people start an exercise program to lose weight yet end up just packing on some more new fat later that day or the next. So the number one goal should be to first stop storing new body fat. You can do this very easily by eating small, balanced meals or snacks every two to three hours. There are multiple reasons why frequent feedings not only boost metabolism but also prevent storing new fat. Here are just a few:
EAT HIGH FIBER CARBOHYDRATES: High fiber carbohydrates are harder to digest than simple carbohydrates and therefore have a greater thermic effect. On top of this foods that are high in fiber are generally lower in calories (because fiber itself contains zero calories), help suppress your appetite and provide you with many more fantastic benefits. High fiber foods include fruits, vegetables and wholemeal products so where possible make sure your dietary carbohydrates come from these sources. Not only will they help you burn slightly more calories but they will also make it easier for you to lose weight. However, you need to make sure that you do not go overboard on the fiber. Excessive fiber consumption has been linked with wind, diarrhea, constipation and more.
