With locations spanning the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, iLoveKickboxing.com has trimmed the waistlines of thousands of students while bolstering their confidence levels with engaging and varied total-body workouts. The program, which is endorsed by Tara Costa from the seventh season of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, blends elements of boxing, muay thai, and san da/san shou kickboxing into a fat-burning, muscle-toning, and endurance-enhancing regimen. Limbs warm up with a quick jog before taking down imaginary opponents with a set of practice kicks and punches to drive home proper technique. The pummeling then switches to the one of many freestanding heavy bags, and incorporates ducking and weaving to boost heart rates. Light sparring and teamwork drills help students tone up while cultivating camaraderie, which could lead to a partnership inspiring future buddy-cop-movie sensations.
