The Gleason’s Gym Total Body Boxing Workout for Women: A 4-Week Head-to-Toe Makeover

Posted by admin on Jan 18, 2010 in Books, Workouts | 0 comments

I must have at least 2 dozen books on martial arts fitness/boxing/kick boxing workout books. There are several I just read and never go back to. There are a few that are like my Bible that I go back to every so often to improve on my offering for clients and martial arts students.

The Gleason’s Gym Total Body Boxing Workout for Women: A 4-Week Head-to-Toe Makeover is one of these books that I go back to every so often. I don’t agree with all their stances and footwork but there are lot of good nuggets in that book that I culled into my Cardio Kick Boxing Class.

Check out chapter 3 on how to “Live Right” by following sensible food plan. If you are interested in working out just like a boxing you came to the right place. Check out The Ultimate Focus Mitt Workout Personal Training Session

Not surprising this book receive 5 out 5 stars from 6 reviewers @ Amazon.com

World-renowned trainer Hector Roca and owner of Gleason’s Gym (an icon in the world of boxing), Bruce Silverglade, have published boxing secrets for women in The Gleason’s Gym Total Body Boxing Workout for Women. This book outlines a step-by-step program that promises to get any woman into knockout shape in just four weeks.

I found this book to be well done. It has a 4-week workout schedule with three workouts per week. I am on the third week and not only are my arm muscles developing, but they glow when I finish a workout and I feel great. This is a full-body workout – you don’t stand still and push your arms around. In addition to 3-minute round-style combo punches and defense, you jump rope and do strength exercises (push ups, crunches, flutter kicks). The instruction is well-illustrated and the book does a great job of motivating you. This can be an intense workout, but you’ll feel stronger after each one. You really need to put your all into the workout – no half-hearted punches, and no cheating!

Guide to Cardio Kickboxing

Posted by admin on Jan 26, 2009 in Workouts | 0 comments

Now, many training centers offer the kickboxing classes, which attract more and more people. Kickboxing has recently surged in popularity and many people sign up for a class.

Before you decide to sign up for a class, it is better for you to keep a few guidelines in mind. There are quite a different variety of styles of kickboxing classes offered. One of the more popular one right now is cardio kickboxing class because this not only increases your strength and flexibility but will also provide a great cardiovascular workout and help you burn a good amount of calories in the process.

Sit in and observe a class at your chosen training facility before you sign up. Get a feel for the way the class is conducted, and whether or not you feel comfortable with the methods the instructors are using. You should 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. Kickboxing requires high-intensity, so you would better not plunge in after a long stint as a couch potato.

You should know well your current fitness level and prepare yourself by first taking a low-impact aerobics course and working up to a higher level of endurance. When you begin kickboxing, you should practice at your own pace and not overexerting yourself. Never feel pressured to push yourself beyond your limits. If you feel that a routine is too difficult or tiring, avoid injury and slow down your pace. Overexerting such as kicking too high and locking your arms and legs during movements can cause pulled muscles and tendons and sprained knee or ankle joints. It is very important for beginners to start with low kicks. You are more prone to developing injuries if attempting quick, complicated kickboxing moves.

If you’ve been thinking of signing up for a kickboxing class lately, it’s a very good idea to look into the different options available to be sure you find one that meets your needs.
