Where are those Abs?

A very common question the Trainers & Instructors at Knuckle Up Fitness are asked, "How do I get 6-pack abs?" While abdominal & core exercises will help you strengthen the muscles around your midsection & improve your posture, being able to actually SEE those ab muscles has to do with your overall percentage of body fat. Bottom line - IF YOU DON'T LOSE THE BELLY FAT, YOU WON'T SEE THE AB MUSCLES. Unfortunately, ab work alone, no matter how consistent or hard you work at it, will not help you lose that belly fat. This is because it's not possible to pick & choose areas where you’d like to burn fat, thus, ab work isn't going to target weight loss in that area.

In order to burn fat, you should engage in a workout that includes both cardiovascular and strength-training elements, such as our cardio kickboxing class. kickboxing class has it all & is the perfect combination of cardio, strength training, plyometrics, and ab/core strengthening. Come to class and let us motivate you to work hard & have fun. In the process you will decrease your overall body fat content, including the area around your midsection. 6-pack abs here you come!!!

Do you know your resting heart rate?

The lower the number, the less your heart has to work (that’s a good thing). Take your pulse in the morning, when you’re most relaxed. Measure the # of beats in 10 seconds, then multiply by 6. Your # should be 60-80 ...and even lower if you’re athletic. If you need help, come on in to KnuckleUp Fitness & a trainer will be happy to walk you through it and then we will work on lowering your heart rate with the best workout of your life in one of our Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, or Boxing classes!

KnuckleUp Fitness's own CJ Wilson going for the gold at NAGA. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is his thing for sure, but maybe MMA someday? We'll see. For sure there needs to be some more Muay Thai and Boxing classes before that day comes.
