Aerobics

     A combination of dance and calisthenics, aerobics focuses on toning, burning calories, and weight loss. There are many forms of aerobics, including step aerobics, slide aerobics, as well as many forms that borrow from martial arts. The best thing about aerobics is that no prior knowledge or experience is required. Most of the exercises and movements are extremely basic and easy to follow, unlike the more complex choreographed sequences of Tae Bo, for example. As with most fitness programs, you have the option of practicing aerobics from the comfort and privacy of your own home. If you prefer a group environment, almost all gyms, fitness centers, and community centers hold aerobics classes in many forms, for various levels.

     Cardio-kickboxing is known to be a popular form of aerobics. The combination and moves involve side kicks, front kicks, alternating double front kicks, squats, jabs, hooks, uppercuts and jumping robe. Cardio kickboxing programs are a fun and an excellent workout combining different moves to optimize your fitness workout.

     Kickboxing is also very popular. These combination and moves include jabs, triple jabs, cross punches, single and double roundhouses as well as hooks, uppercuts and back hands. A good kickboxing workout will also be coordinated in a program that is exciting and optimal to your fitness efforts.
