Cho's Tae Kwon Do Wexford also offer high impact fitness classes which incorporate many components, depending on the strengths of the class. So every class is different and exciting. One of the favourite class formats is a circuit style class including boxing style stations, such as the Focus Pads, Punch Bag, Skipping Ropes, Medicine Ball and other more general exercises found in a good circuit class.
Focus Pads are the closest you'll ever get to hitting your partner for real, often used by personal trainers as the intensity of the workout can be varied from beginner to advanced.
Working the punchbag, a major component of any boxer's regimen, combines cardio work, strength training, timing, balance and boxing skills into one fitness activity. Hitting the bag is a fast high rep workout that builds muscular endurance as well as strength. Hitting a heavy bag is similar to weight training in principle, because it offers resistance.
Another favourite is the Aerobics format. This uses power moves to punch up your heart rate. Every hook and jab puts your rectus abdominis, obliques and lower back to work. Simply punching works the biceps, triceps and deltoids to give that upper body a toned look.
The workout uses the entire body. Cardiovascularly you burn more calories in an hour than using a stairclimber. We combines use of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems with the systematic recruitment of both fast and slow twitch muscle fibres in a manner that not only ensures a diverse workout, but also enhances sports specific senses, including hand-eye co-ordination, balance and timing. Our classes are always fun, energetic and addictive.
