Today is my first time and first class for kickboxing. I am getting older now. Afraid that might break my bone. Still would like to give it a try. Really need to do a lot of stretching might get cramp. I wonder any guy today will wear leotard.. especially yellow color. Looks very damn cool. Would love to see one. So far I know only three guys join this class. By the time I finish kickboxing, I guess I will be 3/4 dead.

So what is kickboxing?

Kickboxing, which combines elements of boxing, martial arts, and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning. Unlike other types of kickboxing, cardio kickboxing does not involve physical contact between competitors - it's a cardiovascular workout that's done because of its many benefits to the body. Cardio kickboxing classes are usually comprised of 10 to 15 minutes of warm-ups, which may include stretching and traditional exercises such as jumping jacks and push-ups, followed by a 30-minute kickboxing session that includes movements such as knee strikes, kicks, and punches. Some instructors may use equipment like punching bags or jump ropes. After this, at least 5 minutes should be devoted to cooling down, followed by about 10 minutes of stretching and muscle conditioning. Stretching is really important because beginners can strain ("pull") their muscles, and slow, proper stretching helps relax muscles and prevent injury.

So dont play play, after I learn kick boxing ,I can kick ass...
