Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	DH and I decided to join the Y. They just built a brand new one not far away that has a nice gym/excercise room. Ashley already does some programs through the Y, so what we would save on her fees just about pays for membership. So, I am thinking about taking some of their classes. I want to try either kick boxing or the aerobics class? Does anyone have a recommendation.. can't decide which one to register for. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

It's just the type of workout I like because it has a lot of fun dance moves and they typically play fun music IMO. Aerobics can be a bit slow sometimes. The difference IMO is that kickboxing feels like an all over workout, lots of ab work without even knowing you're doing it. Where regular aerobics seems to only work your legs and glutes, nothing for arms. So it just depends what you like. I would suggest trying one of each...do you have to pay and stick with the class if you register? At ours, it's just show up when you want. Your membership covers it all. Good luck! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

You have to be really careful and make sure you do it correctly so you don't hurt your joints. Anyway, a lot of people love it and are very successful with it. I say just try out a bunch of classes until you find one that works for you. Good luck!

However, I know kick boxing is now very popular and effective from what I hear. I guess its just a preferential thing. Inquire at the Y if you can "try" a class of each. I know they let me do that with Yoga. -------------------- Bria, Wife to Bruce Mom to Ryan (10), Aliyah (8), and Mason (5)

Platinum Member Group: Moderators Posts: 8,629 Member No.: 800 Joined: 5-October 04	As said before, kickboxing is a bit more high impact than standard aerobics training. I like kickboxing, but that's just right for me. As far as I'm concerned any type of exercise is good, and I'd say try them both and see what you prefer.
