IS IT FOR ME?
Group Fight is for anyone wanting a challenging, athletic, and motivating workout in a realistic time frame. Group Fight would be ideal for:
- New exercisers, because the class is a blast and you have the ability to adjust the level of the class to suit yourself
- Anyone wanting to add variety to his or her training and improve timing, precision, and focus
- Women that want great shoulder and arm definition while punching and kicking the stress out of their lives
- Men that want to get a great cardiovascular workout while getting as far away from “aerobics” as possible
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO IT?
Group Fight is a cardiovascular training class, so you can do it once a week in conjunction with other workouts or you can do it most every day as your primary exercise routine. A beginner to exercise would not want to do too much too soon, but as fitness levels and the ability to recover improve, workout volume and intensity can increase. How you feel is the best gauge of your body’s recovery needs between workouts.
