Kickboxing for Seniors
The thought of Seniors engaging in Kickboxing classes may seem daunting at first, but we assure you that it’s not as scary as it may seem! This is because of the non-combative nature of Kickboxing sessions here, so the only “opponents” they’ll practice against are equipment found in our studio like round shields, thai pads and and punching bags. Hence, no sparring is involved throughout the entire class duration, so their safety is well taken care of here! Allowing Seniors to learn Kickboxing also provides them with more alternatives compared to the usual exercises they do, which adds a “fun” element and spices up their usual workout routine. After all, there’s no age limit when it comes to learning Kickboxing!
Safety
If you’re wondering about the safety of Seniors when it comes to them learning Kickboxing, rest assured that they’re being trained by highly qualified professional trainers here at Active Zone. With full on supervision and guidance to ensure proper form throughout the session, they’ll no longer have to worry about getting injured here. Additionally, along with the non-combative nature of Kickboxing classes conducted at Active Zone, the lesson pace is slower to allow for better understanding, which reduces the risk of any injuries in future.
Health Benefits
Often, Seniors are required to balance on one feet when performing Kickboxing moves like Kicks and Roundhouses. This trains both their coordination as well as balance, which in turn lowers any potential fall risk in the future. As one gets older with age, they’ll also have a prolonged recovery time when it comes to sustaining any injury from falls, so Kickboxing actually helps to prevent that from occurring. Also, their strength and power also improves with training, allowing them to build more muscles which lowers the risk of any ligament or muscle tears and injury caused by possible overexertion in future.
