STEP 1

Setup

Put on gloves and any protective gear you need, then check the space around you. Warm up your shoulders, hips, and ankles thoroughly.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with light footwork and punches with your guard up. Once you are warm, mix in kicks and keep your combinations flowing.

STEP 3

End phase

Lower the intensity and step lightly as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Repeated punches and kicks work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Drive power from your legs and torso rotation into each strike.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Do not drop your hands after a punch or kick. Avoid losing balance by forcing your kicks too high.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale briefly with each strike and keep breathing. Settle your breathing between rounds.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent doing kickboxing. Do not enter punch counts, kick counts, or rounds.
