Wednesday, August 12th, 2009I have taught group exercise for 25 years. Not that I am one to be shy, but I am an awesome instructor of all types of classes including spinning, AthleKinetix total body conditioning, power yoga, and kickboxing. I love teaching all of them, but I really enjoy kickboxing the way that I teach it. Kickboxing [...]
Tae Bo Started It All
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009I teach a kickboxing class every Tuesday morning to a standing room only group at a mega cub in Weston, Florida. I have been teaching in the same time slot, same day of the week since 2001. I know this because I was teaching this class when the planes hit the World Trade Center on [...]
Kickboxing Circuits
Friday, May 8th, 2009I have been teaching kickboxing for a few years now and I can honestly say, besides AthleKinetix, this is the hardest class I teach. To change things up I have started adding weight lifting segments during the Cardio Kickbox. We start with the standard warm up, add a few punching combinations – jab, cross, hook, [...]
Here is a great kickbox routine for your next high intensity class

I am confused about the cues I hear in kickboxing, can you review the punches and kicks?
Monday, September 15th, 2008If you are new to cardio kickboxing you may have found some of the instructors cues or calls confusing. What is the difference between a hook, a jab and an upper cut? How many kicks are there? If these questions have gone through your mind, this blog is for you.
Tomorrow I will attempt cardio kickboxing with my Cable Organizer Boot Camp
Monday, July 21st, 2008Although my Tuesday and Thursday boot campers are now fairly conditioned, some more than others, they still lack flexibility and coordination. This is in part my own fault as we have not worked on flexibility or coordination thus far. After a year of exercises like running, sprinting, push ups, dumbbell curls and walking lunges, it [...]
I want more power in my kickboxing workout, what can I do?
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Kickboxing is a great, multi-muscle workout and a wonderful addition to any Group Exercise schedule. Kickboxing, or cardio kickbox, has been around for about approximately 15 years as a class format in gyms. Unlike Spinning or even Step aerobics, kickboxing incorporates flexibility, cardio and complete integration of all the muscles in the legs, arms and core. [...]
More drama in Spinning
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008After my Sunday morning Spinning class chaos (see previous blog) I was sure I would not see another flaring of tempers in a class for a while. Of course, I was wrong. Tuesday morning I walk into my 830am Spin class and find all the bikes have a towel on them – this indicates that someone has [...]
