I wish I had just listened to everyone in the first place and tried it out as a beginner.An experienced instructor leads cardio kickboxing class by demonstrating choreographed movements of punches, kicks, and knee strikes set to fast-paced music. I was so red during my first intermediate aerobic boxing class that the instructor actually made me sit out because she thought I was going to die on her.
Over confidence with aerobic boxing can lead to injury and some pretty embarrassing time outs. If someone suggests you try the beginner class you should listen to them. My first time trying aerobic boxing didn't end well, as I nearly passed out from over exerting myself trying to keep up with the class around me.īefore you start aerobic boxing I think you need to be really honest with yourself about your fitness level and it may help to have your capabilities tested by a trainer.

I'm much happier bouncing around my own home with unlimited air conditioning, than sweating it out at the gym!Īugust 4, - You are so right to advise people against jumping straight into a mid or higher level aerobic boxing class. I find it quite easy to motivate myself and do a full workout about three or four times a week. Thank goodness for technology, which saved my sanity and my waistline! After watching a few videos on the Internet my sister bought me a game player with an aerobic boxing option.
