For those who embrace a healthy lifestyle, it is a must to incorporate workouts into the day even while on vacation. In Las Vegas, there is a tendency to overindulge a little more than you would anywhere else because this city is overflowing with drinks and food 24/7.

Although most hotels have their own gym you can use for a fee, the thought of walking or running on a treadmill while on vacation isn’t the most appealing. Incorporating a different form of exercise, such as kickboxing, into your workout may encourage one to stay on track while on holiday.  Here are the top 5 reasons to try kickboxing on your next Vegas trip.

It Burns Major Calories
Kickboxing is a total body workout where you can burn an upwards of 600 calories per hour. If you truly are getting the best out of your trip to Vegas, you have to eat at least one buffet, dine at one of our restaurants run by a celebrity chef and have a fair share of cocktails. With the high-intensity interval training that kickboxing provides, you will be able to burn those calories while on vacation rather than taking them home with you. You’ll thank yourself later.

It Saves You Time
No one wants to spend hours in the gym while in Vegas. There are too many shows to watch and slot machines to play! Kickboxing combines circuit training and core exercises, getting your whole body involved. In one kickboxing workout, all of your muscles are engaged, because it typically involves kicking, punching, side bends, jabbing and squatting. Because kickboxing is a total body workout, you can save precious vacation time by combining your workouts into one routine.

It is a Great Stress Reliever
Did you lose some money at the slots or tables, and are feeling a bit stressed out? What better way to release some of that stress than to kick, punch and kick a 300 pound bag? Because kickboxing is such a high-energy workout, it encourages the healthy flow of endorphins while shrinking your waistline. It sure beats punching the slot machine or table games dealer.

It is a Fun Social Activity
While you can probably go to the gym at your hotel, it will not be as fun as a kickboxing in a group setting. Everyone in the class is there kicking and boxing with you, which serves as a great motivator when you may feel like heading back to bed once you get to the class. The combined energy of the students and instructor will keep you energized, especially since kickboxing workouts are never boring.

It Gives You An Energy Boost
Dealing with low energy levels after a night out in Vegas can be frustrating, especially since you are probably only in town for a few days. Kickboxing is a high-energy cardio routine that will give your body and mind a boost. You'll be breathing hard and sweating out toxins, and this process will give your energy levels a much-needed lift to help you power through the day after a fun-filled Vegas night.
