Kickboxing (sometimes called aeroboxing or cardio kickboxing) is a class that combines elements of boxing, martial arts, and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning. Cardio kickboxing does not involve physical contact between competitors.

Cardio kickboxing classes typically start with a 10 minute warm-up, followed by a 30- 45 minute kickboxing session that includes movements such as knee strikes, kicks, and punches. Some instructors may use equipment like punching bags or jump ropes.

If you're interested in trying a cardio kickboxing routine at home, instructional kickboxing videos and DVDs are also available
