Fitness Kickboxing

yomchi

Hi guys,

For those that may be interested we started to run a fitness kickboxing class on a Wednesday and Friday at our training place.
It started off as an idea brought to me by a few 'mammies' who wanted to get fit. The class quickly expanded to nearly 20 at the moment. All 'mammies' and 2 'daddies'
The classes are aerobically based and are worked on the concepts of kickboxing. There is no sparring or competition, just plenty of sweat, plenty of burn and plenty of 'oh jesus'es.
So if you would like to come along at any stage drop me a PM or email.

We have put together diet plans and specific weight goals for those who are interested in shifting a bit of fat.

Just thought i'd givemyself a shamless plug. Tomorrow i'l be having chocolate

hi Jon - where exactly is Roper's gym? Sounds really good, wouldn't mind doing something like that - have been doing boxercise since January but would like a new challenge!

Thank you! That might be do-able - I work in Smithfield, is there a bus going out that way? What are the costs?:o

Buses from the city centre 120 121 and 122 stop around the corner from the hall.
Cost is 40 euro a month! Classes twice a week, each class lasting about 50 mins with stretching and plenty of laughing in between.
The fitness levels for most of the gang is quite low but we're on the way up!

Class structure;
-10 mins of static stretching and light dynamic.
-20 mins of aerobic activity (like what Mr Motivator used to do - except I don't wear spandex :eek::o) Each session of aerobics is broken down for water and towel breaks, or stretcher breaks depending on your fitness .
-15 mins Punching and kicking drills - sometimes with kick shields and focus mitts. We have gloves but you're always safer using your own.
- Finish off with nice stretch and warm down.

Sometimes If the class is small due to mammy duties, I work some self defence into it.

Of course! Any age or fitness level is welcome at any time.

We start at 6.30pm on each Wednesday and Friday. We stretch out for a good 10 to 15 mins so you can join in at any point during the warm up.

Great thanks

I fully endorse this event or product, so long as nobody who attends leaves one of the tiny little plastic caps from sports drinks around. You know the ones, about 2cm in diameter. I'm on a crusade to eradicate them from my gym!

John, when the wolf finds out you've taken his space on Google maps he'll get all territorial!

That is perfect timing!! I can get in a bit of overtime before I leave and then head straight over!!
