Burn Up to 800 Calories in a Single Hour
A Cardio Kickboxing format that has people dropping pounds with a smile.
Chehalis, WA, March 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Turbo Kick™ participants can burn up to 800 Calories in a one hour, energy packed Turbo party, according to studies conducted by the American Council on Exercise and a team of researchers from the University of Mississippi.
Created in 1997 by Chalene Johnson, Turbo Kick™ is the hottest kickboxing class around! This format will have you kicking, punching and grooving away the calories in this action-packed, super fun, safe and effective cardiovascular workout.
Obviously, a broad range of calorie burn exists due to the mere fact of individuality. Take a look around the room the next time you’re in a class. By examining the participants, this exposes a wide variety of body shapes and sizes, varying energy levels as well as varying skill levels. Consider that the following will affect caloric expenditure from person to person:
• Intensity
• Extending punches and kicks
• Combined upper an lower body exercises
• BMI
To determine caloric expenditure during a one hour Turbo Kick™ class, consideration of recent studies conducted by the American Council on Exercise and a team of researchers from the University of Mississippi are essential. Both studies measured heart rate, caloric consumption, oxygen consumption and ratings of perceived exertion for each of four kickboxing concentrations: upper-body predominant (e.g., upper cuts, jabs); lower-body predominant (e.g.,kicks); and combination of upper and lower body; and conditioning (e.g., jumping jacks, simulated rope jumping). Based on the most recent data collected, specific class structure and adjustments for anaerobic/aerobic conditioning vs. steady-state conditioning, professionals have estimated Turbo Kick™ to burn between 500 and 800 calories per hour, with an average of 750 calories per hour! Some recent findings indicate a caloric expenditure of over 900 calories! Bottom line is that it’s a fun way to burn up last nights pizza!
