Cardio Kickboxing, a new exercise class aimed at mums, is kicking off at Reigate and Redhill YMCA this week.

The new daytime class at The YMCA in Slipshatch Road, Reigate, is due to launch this Thursday (March 6) from 9.30am to 10.30am.

The first class is free and sessions, usually priced £5, will be held every week throughout March.

Former Great Britain kickboxer, Lisa Boardman, who runs a Cardio Kickboxing class on a Monday night at Hookwood Memorial Hall, said: “So many women love the class because it’s high energy, a great way to release stress and great fun too.”

She said: “I had a lot of mums ask me whether I could do a similar class but after the school drop-offs, so I hope this new morning class will be a success.”

The sessions will be fitness based and will include punching and kicking skills on pads and bags. Children are welcome.
