Since it combines martial arts, boxing, and aerobic activity, kickboxing is an excellent way to exercise all of your muscles and give your heart a good workout. Kickboxers also note that the sport helps them to feel more confident as they master moves and strategies. The sport began in the 1970s when some karate instructors allowed certain kicking and punching moves in competitions. Its popularity has grown ever since. If you decide to try kickboxing, you should consult your doctor first to make sure this is a good activity for your fitness level. You will also need to find a good instructor and a class that meets your needs.
