is it??I do not know I have not done it for a long time but I really enjoy kick boxing iam doing it 3 times a week. I feel the time pass very quickly, I really hate the gym and I find it repetitive but kickboxing so far it has been fun.

trust me you are not alone, i do not have beer belly but i have put on weight while been stressed with my studies and sitting in the pc for over 16hr a day. kickboxing put me in great shape in no time. i start doing karate few years ago but i got bored easily and i gave it up. i know i will stick to kick boxing, because it is great fun, espcially if some one is in your mind to kick then what best way taking it out in the punch bag :lol:

another one which seem fun but iam not that flexible for it yet is capoeira ? it is amazing brazlian martial art, a fight ??a dance!!!

Ditto. I enrolled for three months and I just went in twice only. What a waste of money!


Now, Im enjoying my kickboxing classes - though it's very tiring. But it is very good exercise and self defense too. I think Im gonna give up smoking soon.
