Your Easy Kickboxing Workout

Kick Off the Calories

Blast fat (and stress!) with this easy kickboxing workout, created by TaeBo founder and fitness expert Billy Blanks.











Jab

Billy says: This warm-up also trims your waist and tones your arms and legs.

A) Stand with your left leg about a foot in front of you with both knees slightly bent. Bend your elbows so that your fists are just below your chin.
B) Punch your right arm straight out as you shift your weight to your back leg. Come back to starting position. Do 3 sets of 8 reps, then switch sides.



Hook

Billy says: Even though this move focuses on your upper body, it also gives your legs a great workout.

A) Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees and elbows bent, hands in a fist below your chin.
B) Turn your torso slightly as you punch your arm in a hooking motion so it's parallel to the floor. Come back to start and repeat. Do a total of 3 sets of 8 reps on each side.



Body Twist

Billy says: This move helps you improve your balance and strengthens your core.

A) Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees and elbows bent, hands in a fist below your chin.
B) Lean forward slightly, bringing left shoulder forward. Then bring right shoulder forward. Keep alternating quickly and do 3 sets of 8 reps (a twist to the left and right counts as one rep).
