Setup
Put on gloves and any protective gear you need, then check the space around you. Warm up your shoulders, hips, and ankles thoroughly.
Start phase
Start with light footwork and punches with your guard up. Once you are warm, mix in kicks and keep your combinations flowing.
End phase
Lower the intensity and step lightly as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Repeated punches and kicks work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Drive power from your legs and torso rotation into each strike.
Common mistakes
Do not drop your hands after a punch or kick. Avoid losing balance by forcing your kicks too high.
Breathing
Exhale briefly with each strike and keep breathing. Settle your breathing between rounds.
Coach tip
Record the time spent doing kickboxing. Do not enter punch counts, kick counts, or rounds.
