Kickboxing
for Women
by Debz Buller, Jennifer Lawler
Paperback from Wish Publishing
ISBN: 193054653X
Each year, thousands of people begin kickboxing, and - not so surprisingly
- the vast majority of these people are women. It's a great time for this
sport, reflected in the number of women of all ages who show up for training
classes at gyms throughout the country. With virtually every popular woman's
character in movies in television shows exhibiting some sort of kickboxing
or martial arts prowess, the trend will probably continue for some time.In
addition, thousands more women join related classes, such as aerobox, cardio-kickboxing,
Tae Bo and the like. Once these women start learning some of the techniques
of kickboxing, they often want to learn more. Whether they attempt to learn
on their own or through classes offered by experienced instructors, most
kickboxers eventually feel the need to have a skills book to help them
with their practice. Most women, however, must purchase books intended
for men, since little traditional kickboxing information is directed toward
a female audience. While women can, of course, benefit from material written
for men, they find it more useful to have information written with them
in mind. Some of the challenges that women face are not faced by men, and
many of the inherent skills that many women have (speed, agility, flexibility)
are often overlooked in traditional reference books. This book covers all
the essentials of learning kickboxing, plus tips especially for women.
It contains information helpful to beginning, intermediate and advanced
kickboxers. The book also includes principles, techniques and drills for
fitness kickboxer as well as the professional. |

The
Ultimate Fitness Boxing & Kickboxing Workout
by Ross O'Donnell
Paperback from Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412064511
Welcome to the 21st Century, where we have become a society of "multi-taskers"
and can incorporate that mind set into our fitness training. Over the last
few years boxing and kickboxing have become popular forms of fitness training
in North America for those looking to progress beyond the Tae-Bo, aerobic-kickboxing
and boxercise type format. This book details how to get a calorie burning
cardiovascular & resistance workout combined with learning valuable
self-defense skills. The routine is also a dynamite way to build self-confidence,
agility, coordination, stamina and relieve stress.
Complete with a wide variety of topical information on both general
and specific components of fitness, it is professionally detailed with
over 300 photographs depicting every punch and kick technique combination.
From the warm-up, strength exercises, abs routine and cool down stretches
it is designed to ensure safety and efficiency in planning your fitness
regiment.
The exercises are fully explained, and sample workouts are provided
allowing you to determine the intensity of your workout based on your fitness
and skill level. Tailored to your goals, it makes an ideal, fresh, innovative
and personalized workout. The training can be structured into 2 or 3 minute
rounds with 30-60 second rests to replicate actual boxing & kickboxing
rounds. Concentrating on the various challenging and stress relieving kick
& punch combinations enhances mental focus and discipline. It can also
be implemented as the warm-up or cardio portion of your regular routine
or as an additional alternate session format tailored to your goals and
needs. All the equipment required, like boxing gloves, heavy bags and focus
pads are portable and the initial expenditure is fairly modest compared
to some elaborate home gyms. The additional strength and resistance exercises
incorporating the stability ball, medicine ball, resistance tubing and
free body exercises keeps the program unique, easy to modify and can be
taken with you when traveling or at work. |
