Martial arts is a great way to get your heart and body into great shape. The mind/body connection that's needed to control your body while doing many of the movements is very soothing also; since most people don't have the ability to concentrate on the exercises and all the things that are bothering them in life at the same time.
Kickboxing exercises are a great way for beginners to get started, as it focuses on the upper and lower body muscles (both strength and flexibility), while also conditioning your cardiovascular system to handle increased workload.
Popularity
The information and techniques aren't hard to come be either, since programs like Tae Bo and it's kickboxing exercises have been popular for close to 2 decades now. Martial artists like Billy Blanks, Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme -- are all known for their high kicks and phenomenal flexibility.
At Home
Many programs like Tae Bo allow you to avoid having to be involved in a classroom atmosphere, as you can purchase most of the equipment and instructional material needed, then have it delivered to your home if you wish. You can literally become a high-kicking master from the comfort of you own home.
At The Gym
Due to the popularity of using kickboxing exercises as a creative way to get aerobic exercise, there are also many classes offered at local gyms and studios. While you do end up paying more due to monthly fees, or yearly memberships -- you do get the advantage of having other goal-oriented people around you for motivation, along with an experienced instructor to answer questions and offer guidance.
Start Today
There is an old saying that's very fitting to those who are simply "thinking" about getting started, rather than doing it: "Tomorrow is the day that never comes." Saying you'll do it tomorrow, or next week, next month, etc. will lead to not doing something over 50% of the time. Whatever you do, just get started with something and you will be where you want to be in no time.
