Another big benefit that you can get from kickboxing is that it will help you burn calories and lose weight. Now, we don’t have an exact calorie count for how many you will burn during a class, but you can be sure that you’ll burn away more calories than if you sit on your couch watching TV.
Between sparring, fighting, punching the weight bag, doing weight training, and various cardiovascular exercises you can be sure that kickboxing will let you achieve and maintain a decent weight and body shape.
Of course, if your body does not have enough calories in it to turn into energy, or in other words, if you haven’t eaten that much, your body will use your excess fat stores for energy. Either way, kickboxing can definitely help you lose weight, plus it helps to rev up your metabolism too, so even when you aren’t in the middle of kickboxing your body will continue to burn calories once you are done working out.
