Strike , the best stress buster around, is one of the most effective forms of cross-training available today.

A Strike class can incorporate many components, depending on the strengths and personality of the Instructor taking the class. So every class is different and exciting.

Focus Pads are the closest you'll ever get to hitting your partner for real, often used by personal trainers as the intensity of the workout can be varied from beginner to advanced. The pads allow the instructor one-to one contact with each person in their class every time! How many fitness classes can claim that?

Working the punchbag, a major component of any boxer's regimen, combines cardio work, strength training, timing, balance and boxing skills into one fitness activity. Hitting the bag is a fast high rep workout that builds muscular endurance as well as strength. Hitting a heavy bag is similar to weight training in principle, because it offers resistance.

Another favourite is the Strike Aerobics format. This uses power moves to punch up your heart rate. Every hook and jab puts your rectus abdominis, obliques and lower back to work. Simply punching works the biceps, triceps and deltoids to give that upper body a toned look.

The workout uses the entire body. Cardiovascularly you burn more calories in an hour than using a stairclimber. Strike combines use of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems with the systematic recruitment of both fast and slow twitch muscle fibres in a manner that not only ensures a diverse workout, but also enhances sports specific senses, including hand-eye co-ordination, balance and timing. Strike classes are always fun, energetic and addictive. Correct technique takes practice and good instruction.
