New to Kickboxing (need a little insight)

[KBwanabee]

Hi everyone, I have been reding the forums for the last couple of months and have now decided to participate. I have been studying Kickboxing for about 2 months twice a week. I am aiming to loose some weight as i am quite stocky (i used to do weights). I am 6ft tall and when I started i was 14st 9lb and i am now 14st 4lb. I was just wondering if you guys have any tips in getting fitter and routines i could use to ensure i up my strength and endurance. Anyway thanks for any replies I hope to be posting a lot more now so speak to you guys soon.

If possible try attending 3 classes a week if you cant do this, then it might be a good idea to get a heavy bag and practice the techniques that your learning in class. For now I would just stick to the routines that your getting in class and then down the road you can add some new ones to your training.

I would also suggest that you try to attend 3 times a week. If your class is only open twice then try and get a friend to train with you one night and then you start off by running (even only 10 minutes) and then you train. Even if you do the same things you did that week it is fine.

 

And like Shane said, stick to the current routines. If you can, run to the club and let someone pick you up after training or ride there with a bicycle. That will help with your fitness as well and will surely build stamina/endurance if you can pitch 5-10 minutes before you start class.

:-?Whats your schedule? Whats your budget? The best cardiovascular training is swimming because it exercises the whole body, controls your breathing and doesnt wear down joints and muscles (like) running? If your broke (like me ) then u should concentrate on your core ie abs and skip rope. For MT and Kickboxing core is essential and skipping helps footwork and stamina.
