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
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. This is about the
average at which the current population that do
not exercise, are gaining in weight every year!
Absolutely Ridiculous when you consider that there
are 168 hours in a week, and it would take
just 1 hour out of a persons week
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!
To put it in simple
terms. With Kickboxing 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!
