Tae Bo®

An intensive total body workout combining self-awareness, martial arts and boxing.

Kickboxing

What can you expect from a kickboxing class? You can expect an intense cardio workout that uses authentic boxing and kickboxing moves.

Kickboxing enthusiasts find that the series of movements allow them to build core and upper body muscles in a short amount of time. The interval training involved in kickboxing involves a series of low- to high-intensity workouts that are punctuated by periods of rest. As a result, you’ll burn a lot of calories efficiently.

Kickboxing is a very beginner-friendly fitness choice. As an added bonus, kickboxing has also been known to be a big confidence builder — and its martial arts ties help many people feel safer in emergency situations.

Try CA’s Cardio Kickboxing, or join a Tae Bo® class, which has a kickboxing format. CA is always adding new classes, so be sure to check back often for updates.
