Fitness in the Park featuring Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing with Thomas Felder

On April 9, 2011 Master Felder woke the Lawton community with one of his dynamic Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing routines "Total Body" as part of the Fitness in the Park Lawton/Fort Sill community event. This training session consist of rigorous exercises targeting all the major muscles from the upper to lower body and topped off with a fears abdominal session that strengthens the total core of the abdominal area.  It was a good morning with the perfect atmospheric conditions for training, said Felder. The training session went on for 50 minutes with three 40 second pauses to check heart rates and water hydration. Felder is the founder of Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing, which he created in 1994 and introduced on his Time Warner Cable show.  Felder teaches a weekly free Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing class at Honeycut Gym, Fort Sill every Wednesday at 11:40 am.  Pictures of this event will be posted on the tenshogoju.com photo album and flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/masterfelder/sets/72157626351343557/.

How many calories are burned during my Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing sessions?

Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing engages upper and lower body, as well as the abdominal area for a high-intensity workout. Although the intensity levels vary with which target area I focus on for each session you will still feel the results of strength building, body toning and burning a significant amount of calories.

According to the American Council on Exercise, a person weighing 155 lbs. will burn 469 calories after 40 minutes of performing a martial art or cardio kick boxing session. By comparison, a person weighing 120 lbs. will burn 363 calories from the same amount of activity. Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average person, defined as weighing 154 lbs., will burn an estimated 150 calories for every 25 minutes of cardio kickboxing.

Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing

Wow... today was a very helpful workout and I really appreciate all those that take their time to join in on my weekly lunchtime Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing workout session.  As I mention in the training session... "You really motivate me"! I can easily recall training for many years on my own and when I was tired or reached a point of exhaustion my training period would end.  Granted, I would train at various intervals according to my-self motivation, which usually ranged from one to two hours at most.  However, as I began to increase in age and responsibilities of family life my private workout sessions declined from daily to a few times a week.  Therefore, when I open special aerobic training sessions for public participation, it is for me to help you look and feel your best and on the same token the sessions benefit me equally. After all… we are not getting any younger, so as we fuel our bodies with food we must also conduct maintenance to keep it functioning at its best. God bless! Thomas
