Here we go with another Cardio Kickboxing HIIT workout! Did you catch my first one? If not, check it out here! With this one, we run the same deal. You will work for 1 minute with the combinations and then for 30 seconds, doing another quick combo. If you are unfamiliar with the moves below and have never taken a class before, I would HIGHLY recommend going to youtube for a demo of each movement. The difference between cardio kickboxing and regular kickboxing on a heavy bag, is that with cardio kick, you will move in a fast pace, switching up the moves rather quickly. You really want to get an idea how the movement works before hand, so you know what you should be feeling during the moves. A couple pointers as I mentioned before:

• always keep your abdominals engaged, drawing your bellybutton in, core nice and strong
• try and keep you ‘guards’ up the entire time, in a fist, thumbs out
• try and always look at your ‘opponent’ and/or the direction of your kicks/jabs when doing the moves
• don’t forget to breathe
• start doing the moves without the jumps, once you master that, add the jumps if you can
• HAVE FUN!!
