Caloric Burn and Health Benefits of Krav Maga and Fitness Kickboxing

Engaging in regular physical activity is a powerful way to improve your health, boost fitness levels, and aid in weight loss. Research indicates that increasing energy expenditure by 1,000 calories per week through physical activity can reduce mortality risk by about 20%*.

At our self-defense academy, our Fitness Kickboxing and Krav Maga classes are designed to maximize caloric burn and enhance overall fitness. Each Fitness Kickboxing class can help you burn between 350-450 calories, while our Krav Maga sessions can burn up to 800 calories per class. This means that participating in just two classes per week can significantly contribute to weight loss and improved fitness.

Physical activity not only helps in shedding pounds but also increases your metabolism, enhancing your body's ability to burn calories even at rest. According to the American Council on Exercise, high-intensity workouts like kickboxing and martial arts can lead to substantial caloric expenditure and improved cardiovascular health**. Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases***.

By incorporating our Krav Maga or Fitness Kickboxing programs into your routine, you can achieve your fitness goals, enhance your health, and potentially extend your life expectancy. Join us to experience the transformative power of these high-energy workouts.
