The Ultimate Strength-Cardio Combo
Do the below circuit 3 times through for a metabolism-boosting, total body toning workout.
Jab + Cross + Hook + Duck
Works your arms, core, and legs! Get in a fighter stance, right foot forward, slight bend in the knees, and fists up by your face. Extend your right arm straight out for a jab punch. Then bring it back to you face. Next, extend your left arm straight forward for a cross punch, pivoting on your left back foot. Then bring it back to your face. Next, bring your right elbow up and across for a hook punch. Then bring it back to your face. Finish with a deep squat for your duck. Do 10 reps, then switch sides.
V Hold Pump + Knee Tuck
Targets your core and arms! Begin lying on your back, legs straight out and arms extended by your sides. Lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the mat and your legs up to about a 45-degree angle, knees stay straight. This is your starting position. Hold the V shape as you pump your arms up and down four times. Then, pull your knees in toward your chest, keeping your head, neck, and shoulders lifted. Extend the legs back out. Repeat from the arm pump. Do 10 reps.
Lunge Jump + Front Kick
Strengthens your legs and core! Begin standing. Step your left foot back into a lunge, knees bending 90 degrees. Explode up as you press off the feet and switch your legs in the air, landing back into a lunge with your right foot back. Repeat the lunge jump two more times (three total reps), then step the back foot forward for a kick. Repeat for three lunge jumps and one kick. Do 10 reps.
Press + Pulse
Tones your legs from every angle! Begin standing. Step your right foot forward, heel lining up with your left arch. Lift your heels to rise to your toes and bend your knees, keeping your core engaged and spine neutral. Push your knees outward. Then bring them back in. Bend the knees to lower down one more inch for a pulse. Then straighten the legs one inch. Repeat the press and pulse. Do 10 reps, then switch sides.
