Getting a Jump on the Holiday

     Here we go again, closing out another year.  I don’t know about everyone else, but 2009 flew by pretty fast.  But as we head towards the Holidays and all the huge meals, treats, and parties that are associated with this time of the year, we all need to start flipping the switch now.

What do I mean by flipping the switch?  What I mean by that is everyone that is worried about putting on all the extra weight of the holidays has two choices right now.

1.  Don’t eat anything! !  Run and hide.  Stay away from all your favorite parties.  Now that doesn’t sound like any fun does it?  Okay. I’m kidding.   Option 1. should read: Use extreme caution when you eat, what you eat, and how much you eat at these special events.

2.  Get down to Ocala Karate & Fitness and register for our Cardio Kickboxing class!  www.ocalakaratefitness.com 

  This exciting fast paced workout is just what you need to keep those extra pounds off.  Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing/Circuit Fitness class has been a huge hit this year.  If you want to:

• Increase your metabolism
• Lose weight
• Tone up those flabby areas
• Increase your energy level
• Stay in control of your body
• Stay younger
• Keep your heart healthy

These are just a few of the benefits that our active members are getting from Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing class.  So if your asking yourself: I know I need to do this, but can I do this class? 

The answer is YES !  This class has been designed to accommodate all fitness levels.  Beginners and advanced.

    If you are asking yourself: I’m not very athletic, I wonder if I can do those drills?

The answer is: YES !  These drills are not complicated and only takes a few time of doing the drills before they feel like second nature.

  If your asking yourself:  I wonder if I can do the whole class?

 The answer is YES !    That’s what makes this class so great.  Every drill is designed for each person to push themselves at their own pace.  Where one person might be able to do 20 reps in a minute the next might be able to do 40, or only 10.  The main thing to remember is that it doesn’t matter.  All that matters is that YOU are out on the FLOOR pushing YOURSELF, and getting stronger.

   On top of that the routine changes up every 3 weeks, so no one gets bored or tired of the same ol same ol, grind that we have all felt at one time by going to the big box gyms.  So don’t waste anymore time!  Pick up the phone and call Jaime or Robby for more information on this, or one of our many other classes we have available at Ocala Karate & Fitness. 

   Remember: It’s up to you to take the first step to a healthier fitter you.

    Well our Cardio Kickboxing classes are filling up fast now.  These super intense high calorie workouts are giving all of our members exactly what they are looking for.  50 minutes of fast paced hard core drills that are toning everyone up.  Everyone is talking about how good they feel and how happy they are to be back after summer.  From the opening 12 minutes of punching combinations to the last 40 minutes of cardio, the end result is putting a smile on every one’s face.  These fast paced workouts are exactly what everyone needs.  The key is to continuously keep the heart rate spiking up and down.  By actively engaging the large muscle groups and smaller muscle groups in the right sequence, our bodies naturally respond by elevating our metabolism.  This leads to a higher total calorie expenditure through out the rest of the day.  Even long after the work out is over, our bodies will continue to burn more calories than before.  This is due to the increase in lean muscle tissue.  Lean muscle tissue uses more calories.  So the more lean muscle tissue we can build, the more calories our bodies naturally burn.  Even at rest.  This is where these workouts really come into play.  Not only our we toning our bodies, but we’re training them to burn more calories just doing regular daily activities.  The end result is a leaner, toner, more defined body that will enable us to live longer and healthier lives.  Cardio fitness is one of the most important things we can do to protect our bodies from heart disease, diabetes, and so many other ailments that plague our bodies as we age.  So get on the floor with the rest of us on Mon, Wed, and Friday mornings, or Tuesday and Thursday evenings and start building your new body now.  All visitors are welcome to stop by and watch or even jump in and try a class.  So don’t wait any longer.  Come to class tomorrow and start getting all the benefits that are current members are already enjoying.  NO MORE EXCUSES.  It’s up to you to take charge in your life and start making a difference.  All you have to do now is show up.
