1. Kickboxing Or Boxing

Want to see results fast and feel like a TOTAL bad*ss while doing so? If so, kickboxing or boxing is definitely for you.  Not only will you be able to learn and grasps movements and combinations that could come in handy in real life for self-defense, but you also will see major changes in your body and muscles if you stick with this unconventional workout.  A cardio kickboxing or boxing class is meant to target every area of your body while maintaining a fast-paced, keep-moving flow to the class. Out of all the unconventional workouts we will mention, this is by far the best stress reliever.  Who doesn’t feel like hitting something now and then?

2. Pole Fitness

4. Total Body Barre Workout

Like many unconventional workouts, total body barre classes infuse dance styles into the routine.  Based mainly on ballet, a barre class will definitely make you feel the burn. Muscles that you didn’t even know you had will be sore and toned after a few classes.

5. Cardio Hip Hop Classes

Similar to the barre total body workout, cardio hip hop also uses dance as a way to tone muscles and shed calories.  However, instead of ballet, this class uses hip hop movements that are high energy and made to get your blood pumping, increase heart rate, and burn calories in the process.  Like actress Nina Dobrev, grab your girls and try a cardio hip hop class.  You don’t have to have dance experience or be familiar with the style in order to kick butt and shed some major calories during this class.  The high energy and non-judgment zone will put anyone in a good mood before class is finished.
