Do drink plenty of water before, during and after the workout. Stay hydrated. Try to drink half of your body weight in water ounces per day. Maintaining a proper hydration will help your body work more efficiently.
Do make sure you stretch before the workout. Stretching and warming up are good ways to prevent injuries and muscle soreness.
Do wear wrist and ankle supports if need, because this workout involves a lot of kicking and moving around, you need good support for your body. Shoes that are higher on the ankle
are ideal because they give the ankle area more support. Just make sure they are soft on the bottoms for the mats. Make sure bottoms are clean
Do release stress. Kickboxing is a great way to get out all of that frustration and stress from the week. Punch and kick it away! But do not hit your partners!
Don’ts
Don’t exercise beyond what you can handle. Kickboxing is a high intensity workout. Do not feel pressured to complete an entire hour long class initially. Make your workout goal to
get up to that amount of time.
Don’t overextend or lock your kicks or punches into any position. Locking into a position can create problems with your joints.
Don’t forget to warm up or cool down. Doing a slow warm up gets those muscles ready for the fight. In a class, they typically incorporate a warm up at the beginning of the class
and cool down at the end of the workout. These usually last a few minutes but they are extremely beneficial to the muscles.
Don’t over train. Overexertion can cause many problems. If you are completing a workout and cannot breath, take a few minutes to rest. Do not be afraid to stop and get a drink
of water. You should be able to carry on a conversation during this exercise. If you are not able to, then you are training too hard. Slow the pace.
Don’t forget to take a rest day when your body needs it. A few days a week are best when first starting. Your muscles have worked hard and they deserve a day to repair and rest.
Initially start kickboxing about three to four days a week. Do not over do it.
Don’t ever try punching too hard with your partners using focus mitts. Hitting to hard while using focus mitts leads to injuries in the hands, arms, and shoulders, so be a great partner
that everyone wants to workout with. If you feel the need to show off or just want to hit hard go to the heavy bags and bang all day!
Don’t be negative when working with others. Always encourage your partner in a positive way to do their best, because you have a hand in keeping your partners coming back
in to train with you! Always be the one everyone wants to train with! Make that your goal and you will always get a great workout!
