Cardio Kickbox
The Cardio Kickbox classes offered at O'Wellness combine martial arts movements with cardio for a high-tempo workout. While developing strength, speed and coordination, they also help release stress. They offer an energetic and dynamic experience.
Cardio Kickbox is a 45-minute martial arts-based fitness class that combines boxing and kickboxing techniques (jab, cross, hook, uppercut, front kick, roundhouse) with high-tempo cardio patterns. There is no contact; movements are applied to the air or to pads/a punching bag.
Session structure: dynamic warm-up and shadow boxing, combination blocks (series of 2 to 6 on the instructor's command), footwork and defence work, interval finisher and stretching. With the high tempo, the shoulder, core and leg muscles stay constantly active.
Cardio Kickbox is a fun, high-calorie-burn alternative for members who want to release stress, improve coordination or are bored with classic cardio.
