If you are inspired by Vaani's intense gym session to counter those midweek blues, then here's all you need to know about the benefits of doing high kicks, jumping squats, side bends and more.
Jump squats have a variety of benefits including building lower body strength, improving explosive power, and enhancing cardiovascular fitness. They also help with weight loss and creates better balance. That is not all, it even strengthens the knees and ankles that leads to preventing injuries.
High kicks in martial arts offer a bunch of benefits including improved flexibility, increased leg strength and power, and creating a better balance and stability of the core. It is also an excellent warm-up exercise that increases one's heart rate and prepares the muscles for more intense activity.
Side bends have benefits including strengthening and stretching the muscles of the torso, which include the obliques, back and hips. They can improve flexibility, posture and even relieve any prevalent tension in the muscles. It also contributes to a sculpted waistline and increases core stability.
Boxing offers both physical and mental benefits by providing a full-body workout that can lead to weight loss, muscle toning and an improved cardiovascular health. It builds confidence, reduces stress and enhances mental resilience that equips one with self-defence skills.
