Happy Friday ๐โผ๏ธ I wanted to share a little bit about the history of kickboxing and how it became what it is today! If itโs one of your hobbies as well you may enjoy a fascinating little deep dive! ๐
This is a dynamic sport and a hybrid sport that emerged in the 1960s as a combination of traditional karate, Muay Thai, and Western boxing. ๐๐ผ Originating in Japan and popularized in the USA ๐บ๐ธ it evolved from the need to create a full-contact sport that allowed practitioners of different styles to compete under a common set of rules. Throughout the decades, it gained global recognition through various contests and the establishment of organizations. Today, kickboxing is both a competitive sport and a popular and pretty tough fitness regimen, known for its rigorous training and emphasis on striking techniques. Not to mention it is a great way for women like myself to feel a little safer and a little more confident in defending themselves!๐คฉ๐ฅ

Getting a deep stretch in and having my trainer help me by pushing my knees to the ground in the butterfly stretch. ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ Having someone else push my knees down can make all the difference! Partner stretching can enhance flexibility and range of motion more effectively than solo stretching. It helps ensure much better form and and provides that extra little bit of encouragement. ๐ช๐ผ This always is helpful before a warmup for my flexibility and injury prevention. ๐๐ป

If you want a little bit of a challenge the next time you try your splits, try them against the wall. ๐ This helps you achieve greater flexibility, balance, and strength.๐ช๐ผ The wall forces your body into a more precise alignment, engaging muscles more intensely, especially in the hips, hamstrings, and inner thighs. It also demands a stronger core stability to control and maintain the position without support. ๐ฅ

Have you ever tried doing a kickboxing or even just a workout session on the beach?? ๐ฅต It is a much more intense workout due to the heat and uneven sand surfaces. The resistance the sand gives you while executing the same workout you would indoors, engages more of your muscles especially in your legs and core. It can also improve your balance and stability. And you canโt forget about the scenery!!๐ ๐

Have you ever tried lifting your back leg up at the knee while in a split stretch? You can even do this position if you donโt yet have a full split.This is really great for enhancing the stretch in your hip flexors, quads, and hamstrings and promotes greater flexibility! It also does ensure proper hip alignment and can improve your balance and stability! ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐

Rise And Grind ๐ช๐ผ๐ This morning I chose to add deadlifts with the barbell into my lower body routine because it is a vital component to combat sports helping you build strength, power and stability in key muscle groups helping you generate force explosively ๐งจ and helping you maneuver a lot more effectively while reducing your injury risk. ๐ฅ
Tips for your perfect form
โข Make sure your feet are about shoulder width apart
โข Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body while keeping your back straight and chest up.
โข Grip the barbell and engage your core and drive through your heels lifting the barbell off of the floor.
โข Once standing, push your hips backward and lower the barbell by bending at your hips and knees until it touches the floor again.
โข Repeat for your desired number of reps ensuring proper form throughout your exercise, with your back straight and core engaged. ๐ช๐ผ
