Diet and exercise (Kickboxing) Kickboxing + Boxing class is a high energy class that allows minimal breaks between sets. This type of workout releases endorphins which give you that natural “fitness high” that a lot of my clients talk about after class. During some point of your workout you are likely to experience a feeling of euphoria after the intensity of the workout settles. This wonderful feeling is due to endorphins.
What are endorphins exactly? Endorphins are chemicals produced in the brain, which bind to neuro-receptors to give relief from pain. Discovered in 1975, endorphins are believed to relieve pain, enhance the immune system, reduce stress and delay the aging process. Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins sending these chemicals throughout the body. Endorphin release varies from person to person; some people will feel an endorphin rush, or second wind, after jogging for 10 minutes. Others will jog for half an hour before their second wind kicks in.

Kickboxing + Boxing is a great way to experience the natural “fitness high” and not only do you get the physical benefit from working out but the mental benefits too. Studies show that regular physical activity appears as effective as psychotherapy for treating mild to moderate depression. Therapists also report that patients who exercise regularly simply feel better and are less likely to overeat or abuse alcohol and drugs.
