I joined 9 Round which is a 30 minute kickboxing circuit. I love it...hard workout for sure.

Our weather is crappy here today so not much to do outdoors so I went this morning and will go back later this afternoon for another round.

While I was working out there was a very in shape gal working out as well...I thought I want to get in shape..I am tired of this chubby look:(

    We do jillan michaels kickboxing. Hubby teased me about it, but after doing circuits one and two he dropped to the floor. It hurts! Lol

    I know...when you watch someone box you think doesn't look that hard but it is amazing how fatigued your muscles get after a few minutes.

    I do krav maga, which has its share of kicking and boxing. I really enjoy it - what surprised me, when I first got started, was how much of a core workout it is. I love it! It leaves me drenched. I also enjoy the practical self-defense aspect.

    Kickboxing is a great cardio exercise. I do it along with Krav maga and Jiu Jitsu. Core workouts are a must also.

    In between the rounds they do what is called active rest...so plank or situps, etc. Today at the ab station it was full situps with a medicine ball...ironically for being weak core wise I find these relatively okay to do...I can do at least 40 or so in about 3 minutes. I find full sit ups easier than plank....

    We have a 9 Round here! But I'm moving, so I'll never get to try it. I've done a little bit of kickboxing in workout videos. Anybody know some good kickboxing videos? I'm on the lookout for new stuff to do!
