Bon Jovi is the extent of the rock music I used to listen to. I still enjoy his music and still prefer the dance beats of the top 40’s.
Harder rock music has never been my thing until now, but it has its place. We call it “angry music” in Kickboxing.
Honestly, I recommend kickboxing for anyone.
There is something to be said about taking stress or frustrations out on a bag versus keeping it inside or venting elsewhere. Even if you don’t feel stressed, punching a bag makes you feel stronger and more empowered.
Punching and kicking a bag for one hour will zap everything out of you.
Half way through the class when our energy levels are decreasing, our instructor, Julie, turns the music up and begins SHOUTING! It works! Angry music played LOUD enough will numb your burning muscles and put the extra fire back into your mind and body that will allow you to press on further.
One day at the end of class, Julie asked if the music offended anyone? This would have been the moment for whomever to stand on their personal platform, protest and feel holy.
Do not be easy to offend. Be hard to offend and quick to forgive.

Like a good step aerobics class when you’re exhausted and a beat to a favorite song begins to play, mind and body kick into high gear again.
Health and fitness is a lifestyle.
Move more, eat less … summer is coming!
