I joined kickboxing way back in march, but was on and off just like my eating habits. This time I plan on going everyday. It's so much fun and gets a lot of stress and frustration out.

Anyone else do kickboxing?

I really want to!

I have done Tae bo in the past. Does it count? If so, I enjoyed it, but after watching the dvd so many times I got tired of it.

I used to do tae bo as well, but got sooo tired of looking at and listening to Billy Blanks lol. with a kickboxing class you can hit and kick the bag as hard as u can and man do u sweat. i have a different instructor each day so its a different routine so it doesnt get boring. My class also does toning. Different body area each day.

My mom does it, and it kinda inspired me to get more active. She's a 41 year old diabetic and a size 6. Granted, she's not diabetic from gaining weight, but from her pacreas shutting down.

She's amazingly fit and does so much, I took a class with her once and it killed me! But I'm stronger now that I lift weights so maybe I'd do better

I used to do it. I took a one month course in Thailand learning how to do Muay Thai boxing. It is even more intense than Kickboxing as it uses shoulders, elbows, and knees. I am starting to do kickboxing again after a very long hiatus. It is an amazing workout. I took the one month course to lose weight, and I really did, but I was boxing twice a day and doing weights three times a week. I am now only starting again at once a week, but kickboxing/MT a full body workout, and tones you all over. I really miss it.

Good luck, Jenniegirl and others. Perhaps you can let me know how it is going for you.
