Fitness kickboxing, the new fitness trend taking over Oxford, is far from easy and it will leave you questioning your sanity by the end of the first class. No worries, though, you will soon be addicted! 

Fitness kickboxing is pulling in sorority girls and fitness gurus, alike. The class is far from easy, but you can burn between 600 to 1000 calories in one class! Don't worry, you feel every single calorie melt away! 

So, you've got your new gloves and are ready to hit some stuff. Little do you know that fitness kickboxing has much more in store for you than just punching and kicking a bag. You are about to embark on a full hour that consists of anything from ab workout to burpees, running forward and backwards, pushups and kicks, punches, and hooks! 

While being surrounded by people of all different levels, these are a few things that went through my head during my first class.

1. I cannot wait to have a killer bod! Let's punch some stuff.

2. That was only the warm-up (jogging, shuffles,jumping jacks, pushups)? 

3.  I can kick as hard as the guy across the room! 

4. How is she using extra weight to do these ab exercises? 

5. This really helps me get all my frustrations out!

6. I don't feel bad, anymore, about eating dessert last night. 

7. A minute goes by really, really slowly (planks on planks on planks). 

8. That guy's bag went flying in the air! Mine has yet to move more than a few inches.

9. Spring break, bikinis, summer, date party, formal -- you can do this!  

10. I'll be back tomorrow for more! 

Fitness kickboxing will leave you sore and exhausted, but it is beyond worth it! Don't worry, you will become addicted after going only a few times since you can feel the difference in your body!
