1. Sidekicks - 20 repetitions x 3
Stand on one leg and then lean to the side, keeping your knee (in the air), hip and shoulder in a straight line. Activate your butt by pushing your hip forward. Keep the upper leg straight while kicking out with the lower leg. Repeat 20 times, rest and do a total of three rounds.
You work: Butt, back of thighs and core.
2. Sit ups + boxing - 10 repetitions x 3
Do sit ups and hit two straight punches when you are in the upper position. Remember to keep your guard up throughout the exercise. Repeat ten times, rest and do a total of three rounds.
You train: Core, shoulders, chest and back.
3. Boxing + high knees + sprawl - 3 repetitions x 5
Jog in place with your knees as high as you can. Sync your knees with about ten straight punches. Keep a fast pace and feel your pulse racing. Then do a sprawl, which is a straight-arm burpee where you just dip your hip into the floor and then go straight back up. Repeat the exercise three times, rest and do a total of five rounds.
You will train: fitness, coordination and strength of the whole body.
