    Overview

    This is another one of our Cardio Kickboxing workout videos, but to keep things interesting we have changed it up just a bit by swapping repetitions of each Kickboxing combination with a timed interval so you don’t have to keep track of where you are; you just go until the timer tells you to stop. On top of that change we have also incorporated rounds of abdominal work as well.



    It breaks down like this; after a quick 5 minute warm up specifically designed for this routine, we start in with our first 5 minute round of abdominal work that includes 5 exercises that focus on the entire core section. Each is done for 45 seconds with a 15 second break in between each move. Once done with one set of each exercise in this section we move onto our first round of Cardio Kickboxing. This group has 5 combinations of kickboxing moves that are done in an interval format of 45 seconds on; 15 second off, just like the core section but this time each combination will be done twice. Once with the left foot forward and again with the right foot forward. Once both sets are done you move onto the next combination. After all the combinations are done on both the left and right side we get a water break to recover and get ready for the next group

    Group three is another abdominal section focusing on the entire core. It is set up the same exact way as group one but has all new exercises. Once complete we move onto group four which is our second Cardio Kickboxing section. This section is set up just like the first kickboxing section but again with all different combinations.  After this group you get another water break to set up for our last workout group which is another core section set up the same way as the first two but again with new exercises. This should finish off those abdominal muscles and leave you nice and sore the next day.

    After our workout is complete we have also included a 5 minute freestyle cool down to help lower your heart rate gradually and continue flushing any lactic acid and any other waste products out of your muscle tissue.

    If you want to do this routine without the video the written workout is below.
