GETTING HIS KICKS
Exercise keeps Sean smiling.

Kick boxing enthusiast Sean Kanan (A.J., General Hospital), loves the sport - and working out in the same Venice, Calif., gym as film actresses Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jodie Foster is just one of the benefits. "I kick box five or six days a week," says the actor. "Spiritually, physically and emotionally, it's good for me." Sean says he's studied the martial arts since he was 13 - he even appeared in the movie Karate Kid 3. He met his trainer Chris Steele a few years ago, when he choreographed the boxing scene between A.J. and Jagger (Antonio Sabato, Jr.). "I love kick boxing," Sean adds. "It lets me slow down the wheels of my mind. Usually, I think about 30 different things at once, and that's not always so great. Kick boxing focuses me. I only think about what I'm doing in the boxing ring."
