Losing weight means you need to burn more calories than you consume. Watching what you eat doesn’t cut it unless you do some calorie-burning workout as well. So, it is widely-known that doing kickboxing for an hour non-stop helps you to burn a great amount of calories.

How much calories are burned?
This would depend on the duration of the workout and the level of intensity for each kickboxing training session. An estimated 400-900 calories are burned during each kickboxing session. So, if you were to train 3 times a week, I’m sure you would shed plenty of weight within a few months.
