Below
is a rough break down of Energy (
KCal ) for various Sporting Activities.
This Guide cannot be used as an exact reference
as there will always be slight variances between
individuals.
However the comparisons are approximations based
on the average energy used ( KCal ) for a 70 kg
(11 Stone) person.
If a person is lighter then the 'KCal' used will
be less, however if the person is heavier then
the 'KCal' will be even higher, see bottom section
of the Chart ' KCal per
hour'.
If you trained
at Warrington Kickboxing just once weekly for
a year, and stayed the same weight, then your
training would have been burning off excess Weight/Fat
that you would have otherwise gained.
For
example, if you were 7 Stone and burned approximately
500 Kcal per week ( With just one lesson weekly
), this would equate to ( 500 Kcal x 50 Weeks
) 25'000 Calories per year.
There are 3500 calories to a pound of Bodyfat.
So an individual would have gained 7 pounds (
1/2 Stone ), of Fat if they had not trained Kickboxing.
Incidentally, this is about the average at which
the current population that do not exercise, are
gaining in weight every year! Quit ridiculous
when you consider that there are 168 hours in
a week, and it would take
just 1 hour out of a persons week to train
Kickboxing.
Whilst on the
subject of the health benefits of Kickboxing.
One of the biggest killers around today is Stress.
Medical studies have shown that the"physical
release of negative emotions has a great psychological
benefit to an individual".
In simple terms, serious and focused Kickboxing training, striking the Pads &
Bags with Kicks & Punches, is
excellent for stress release!
Basically
through Kickboxing training, you will Burn more Calories, Exercise a Greater range of muscle groups,
and vastly reduce Stress
much more than you would with other activities.
Also, something that is not shown on this chart,
but that you should seriously consider. Your Kickboxing
training as well as increasing your self-confidence,
could one day, if you were in a situation, possibly
save your life. Something
that Football or Aerobics are not likely to do!
