2. Full Body Toning

 

Kickboxing allows you to engage all your muscle groups in the body, giving a full body workout. A typical kickboxing class in Abu Dhabi combines drills with ropes, circuit training and core conditioning exercises. For example, with each kick, you’ll be working your waist, belly, butt and legs. Key areas for all ladies and sometimes are hardest to keep in shape. If you use kickboxing pads, as opposed to air boxing, you’ll burn even more calories. And you’ll be working your back and waist this time.

 

3. Self-Defense Moves

 

Learning a new skill is an added bonus to a workout class, the ability to protect yourself can be valuable asset. It’s empowering to know that if you were in a dangerous situation, you have the knowledge to help get yourself out of it safely. Kickboxing has a number of moves that can help you defend yourself and with the confidence in your abilities whilst you remain calm and react with well-trained skills.

 

4. Take Out Stress and Aggression
