CARDIO ATHLETIC KICKBOX vs TAE BO: THE INEVITABLE CONFRONTATION

(PRWEB) February 18, 2001

San Jose, Calif. – Home cardio kickboxing workouts are in demand but not many organizations have been able to produce a workout that is effective, fun, entertaining, and conscious of safety issues such as preventing injuries to your knees, lower back, and providing low impact options.

Eversley Forte is setting new standards for kickboxing workouts in the Cardio Athletic Kickbox® Total Body Home Workout Video Series and international training program. The Cardio Athletic Kickbox Video Series offer a program that is fun, energizing, and for men and women of various fitness levels. It is an invigorating workout incorporating kicks, punches, elbows and knees used in martial arts and boxing together with effective athletic drills. Safety tips, low impact and lower intensity options are given throughout the workout, which allow participants to “play hard” but also to “play safe”. This is important since the Cardio Athletic Kickbox videos are intended for “regular” people to use at home.

The videos even caught the attention of lawyers representing Billy Blanks and Tae-Bo®. They made ludicrous claims, which they apparently did not investigate thoroughly. “Their claims had no merit and Behind The Scenes Fitness responded accordingly,” said Eversley Forte, creator of the Cardio Athletic Kickbox workout. Following the response, the lawyers discontinued any contact with Behind The Scenes Fitness.

In 1994, Eversley Forte first introduced the Cardio Athletic Kickbox workout in Northern California. It is now taught throughout the United States, Europe and South Africa. Ecofit, a Group Fitness Certification Organization with divisions in Germany and South Africa, has teamed up with Behind the Scenes Fitness to promote Cardio Athletic Kickbox in Europe. A number of instructor courses were conducted in Germany, and Kit van Blerk, CEO of Ecofit, says “Many of the instructors who completed the Cardio Athletic Kickbox training, felt it safer and more fun than other kickbox training programs.”

“In the videos, Eversley delivers a great cardiovascular and fat burning workout while demonstrating great form and technique,” said Anne Wilde, Director of the South Bay Instructor Training School.

Karen Clark, Group Exercise Director at Supreme Court 1 Athletic Club in Sunnyvale, CA said, “Eversley’s Cardio Athletic Kickboxing classes give our members the opportunity for a fun and challenging workout. Eversley presents an exciting, quality class from start to finish. He knows how to challenge the advanced students, keep beginning students involved, and enables everybody to have a good time in the process.”

Behind the Scenes Fitness was founded by Eversley Forte and is recognized by the American Council on Exercise as a Continuing Education Specialist, and is the sponsor of the “Kickboxing Fitness” manual released by the American Council on Exercise for group fitness instructors and trainers.
