- Check with your doctor before you begin aerobic kickboxing.
- Take a trial class first before you sign up for any aerobic kickboxing class so that you can gauge if your fitness level can take a strenuous workout like this.
- Wear something comfortable during your aerobic kickboxing session. Use stretchable shorts or workout pants to allow stretching and kicking movements. Wear well-made athletic shoes instead of running shoes because they are not built for side to side movements.
- Start by having an Interval Training Program to reduce your chances of exhaustion or fatigue.
- Start slow and go easy with kicks and jabs.
- DON'T: overextend kicks or lock your joints when throwing punches or kicking.
- Drink enough water before, during and after your cardio-kickboxing workout to keep you hydrated.
- Arrive a few minutes early to do warm-up exercises such as stretching the legs and shoulders.
- Perform this workout regularly to improve cardiovascular condition.
- Always keep a positive attitude. This is the best way to motivate yourself in reaching any fitness goal.
