• It’s a high intense class. Look for an instructor that has both a high-level belt in martial arts and is certified as a fitness instructor by an organization such as the Y.M.C.A Focus Institute. Also, try to start at a level that suits you and slowly progress to a more intense, fast-paced kickboxing class. Many classes call for intermediate levels of fitness and meet two to three times a week.
• Comfort is the key. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows your arms and legs to move easily in all directions. The best shoes are cross-trainers – not tennis shoes – because cross-trainers allow for side-to-side movements. Gloves or hand wraps are sometimes used during classes – you will be able to purchase these at the facility where your class is held.
• Start slowly and don’t overdo it. The key to a good kickboxing workout is controlled movement. Overextending yourself by kicking too high or locking your arms and legs during movements can cause pulled muscles and tendons and sprained knee or ankle joints. Start with low kicks as you slowly learn proper kickboxing technique. This is very important for beginners, who are more prone to developing injuries while attempting quick, complicated kickboxing moves.
• Drink up. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your class to quench your thirst and keep yourself hydrated.
• Talk to your doctor. It’s always a good idea to see your doctor and have a complete physical exam before you begin any type of exercise program – especially one with a lot of aerobic activity like kickboxing. This is extremely important if you have any chronic medical conditions such as asthma or diabetes or are very overweight.
