This routine has a little bit of everything, which makes it very fun and goes by very quickly. In just over 30 minutes, you get a warm-up, cool-down, and 4 combo groups of sweaty, challenging goodness in between. So if you like kickboxing, you are going to like this routine; if you like kettlebells, you are going to like this routine; if you like core, then you will like this routine; and if you like all three, then, well, this may just be your dream workout. Haha.  

Each of the 4 workout groups are built in the same fashion, but each has unique exercises, meaning they feel like their own mini workouts. Each group includes two exercises each of cardio kickboxing, kettlebell, and core. This approach keeps the workout fast and fun while getting a little strength, cardio, and toning all in one routine.

If this happens to be your first time doing kettlebell or kickboxing, be sure to really focus on that warm-up (and you may even want to do a bit of an extra warm-up). Both kickboxing and kettlebell are ballistic types of movement, which can increase your chances of injury (pulled muscles) if you are not properly warmed up. So, take your time with the warm-up and be sure to pay very close attention to your form. You can also lower your intensity or the amount of weight being used until you know how this type of training will affect you. 

This is a great routine to use for fat loss as well, since it pairs intense cardio with some strength, causing you to burn calories at an elevated rate during the workout as well as benef from the after-burn effect of strength training (where your body can burn calories at an elevated rate for the next 24-72 hours).
