The program's fitness classes differ from standard aerobics classes not just in their self-defense inspiration (like Tae Bo, the kickboxing-derived cardio class), but in their constantly changing patterns. Instead of a routine, fitness buffs get a workout that constantly varies from week to week, more aerobic workouts one week and more bag work the next, in an effort to keep people intrigued and interested in Krav Maga classes.

Participants punch, kick, elbow and knee heavy bags to music. Other classes might teach 15 minutes of aerobic kickboxing, then switch students to run circuits of punching bags, push-ups, and running in and out of obstacles.

Krav Maga can help men and women attain new athletic goals, increase muscle definition, self-confidence and mind/body coordination as well as assist in stress reduction. When you are building up kinetic force, you are developing really strong neurological pathways from your brain to your muscle, which helps instincts and reflexes. Any type of really short, intense workout helps elevate metabolic rate and burn more fat.
