Following on from the "Bodypump" post....

Has anyone ever done Cardiokick at the gym? I've been doing it for about a month now and I think it's reeeeaallly good! It's basically kickboxing, but with no contact. You do it to music and it's honestly one of the best exercises I've done. I work up such a sweat doing it.
I wish the done proper kickboxing at my gym though :twisted:
 
I did kickboxing for 2 years and it was easily the fittest I've ever been in my life. Good stress release too, just imagine kicking the crap out of your landlord / boss / etc :lol:

Trouble with 'proper' kickboxing is when you spar someone and you realise you don't know anything at all *ouchie* Kicking bags that don't kick back is much more fun ;) :lol:
 
I've done "proper" kickboxing before, I used to love sparring, entered competitions and everything! I had to give it up though because I started working in London and it just wasn't feasable to get home in time etc.

:evil:

Remind me not to upset you ;)
 
Sounds like Cardio Combo and Boxfit at my gym. Love them - do them every week. Definitely feel an improvement in the old thighs and upper arms.
 
I'm scared of kicking and punching. :oops: :lol:

I like the girly classes - went to a power stretch class then learnt a routine to Spinning Around by Kylie yesterday at Pop Video. Might try Ballet Fusion next. :lol:

We're doing Madonna next week - either Hung Up or Vogue, depending on which gets the most votes.

I sat on the fence coz I want to do both - I said I don't mind as long as we can do the other one another week. :lol:

I'm so sh*t though, I think I might get asked to stop going. :lol:

Have you tried it :lol: We went a few years ago at one of those lessons for a friends birthday, it's much harder than it looks, I thought I'd be spinning round a pole after 5 mins 8O :lol:

God no. With my clumsiness and lack of hand-eye co-ordination I'd knock myself out on the pole after 30 seconds.

To give you an idea of how accident prone I am, I walked into a wall at work last week and I've now got a huge bump on my forehead. :lol:

:lol: I don't know what I was thinking of actually, I'm surprised I didn't fall off and knock myself out :oops: :lol:

They're planning on starting pole dancing at my gym, but they're trying to engineer how they can safely hang the poles, so that a studio full of chubby office workers doesn't bring the whole place down. :lol:
 
I'd love to try pole dancing. Purely for exercise purposes, of course. ;)

Did a muscle tone class yesterday and am now walking like a kinky cowboy in work. People are wondering what on earth I got up to.
