CFP Kicboxing Program is for all fitness levels, undertaking a kickboxing workout at least once per week can help you feel energized and motivated. Here are some of the top benefits of kickboxing workouts:

Kickboxing Benefit #1:  Stress Reduction

Fight your way to a stress-free zone within minutes of a high impact kickboxing routine. The movements in kickboxing challenge several core muscle groups and will give you a total body workout, fast.

Kickboxing Benefit #2: Increased Confidence

Kickboxing helps you release endorphins which will change your mood for the better and help you feel more confident. Endorphins will also make you feel happier and more positive for several hours after the workout. Everyone knows a confident person is a happy person!

Kickboxing Benefit #3: Improved Coordination

If you really want to improve your coordination, you can strengthen your core and boost your reflexes through the fast paced punches and kicks in the kickboxing routine. This will give you a chance to focus your energy to execute each movement successfully.

Kickboxing Benefit #4: Burn Mega Calories

Kickboxing can burn up to 1000 calories per hour, and you'll be toning and strengthening your entire body as, you speed, up your metabolism. It's a high impact cardio routine that's great for weight loss and getting you in shape, fast.

Kickboxing Benefit #5: The Perfect Cross-Training Workout

Let’s face it the treadmill is boring and if you’ve been on one for several weeks (or years) and need a break from your mundane routine, kickboxing is the perfect cross-training workout. Just one or two sessions a week can help you break out of that boring old routine fast. Getting you the results you desire.

Kickboxing Benefit #6: Energy Boost

Kickboxing is a high impact cardio workout that will give your body and mind a boost, and will increase your energy levels. You'll be breathing hard and heavy. Sweating out toxins, pumping those endorphins and this process will give your energy levels a much-needed boost, better than any energy drink!

Kickboxing Benefit #7: Better Posture

Stuck behind a desk all day? Sitting and starring at a computer screen wishing that lower back pain would just subside. Well kickboxing workouts will challenge many muscle groups that don't get enough attention throughout the day, and you'll start to build up your core. Core muscles in around your abdominal wall are targeted with kickboxing routines because you need to use your waist and abs for balance, and to execute each carefully coordinated move. Say goodbye to those love handles and achy back for good.
