One Tough Work-out
This is a
BoxAerobics pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 2833)
Hello again. I've been teaching a Cardio-Kickboxing class called
"Bally Boxing" and so far, I've had a great turn-out with this
"Tough Work-out". I hope you enjoy it and please tell me what you
think.
We begin:
5 minutes
Punching practice. No music. (Everyone in fighting positions)
* Jabs 10 each left/right sides
* Cross
* Hook
* Upper-cut
5 minutes
Warm-up. Turn the music on if you wish.
(I recommend focusing on getting a good stretch. Try warming up
Athletic vs. Aerobic's if you find it hard keeping time with the music.)
- I have choreographed my warm-up. I use mostly boxing techniques.
- If you're interested in it, please Email me.
10 - 15 minutes
Punching combos. I don't use any music here either. I find that the
music affects punching speeds.
- "Stick" or jab (same thing)
- "2" Jab/cross
- "Hook-Off" jab/hook
- "4" Jab/cross/hook/cross
- "2-up" jab/cross/upper-cut/upper-cut
* I yell out these combos one by one. They love it.
* I have them punch from their lefts sides first. Non-stop. Then, we
switch to our right sides. No need to shuffle around, we maintain a
steady heart-rate with this exercise.
5 minutes
Anaerobic "jump-rope" exercise. You don't have ropes?!?, PRETEND!!
2x 45 sec. for each exercies.
- Basic jump
- Boxer's shuffle
- Heel digs
- Knee's up
* Remember to keep moving during recovery period which should only
last 15 to 20 seconds.
15 - 20 minutes
Choreography time!!!
(I recommend good, strong beat-based music. I like PowerMusic's Best of
Classic Rock)
Start of marching (wide, double it up) 32 count
- March up 8, then back
- 8 Jacks
- (repeat) 64 counts
- Grapevine/ 2 jacks 32 counts
Add: 2x Step kicks (step with inside leg. Like doing charleston)
2x = 32 counts
* Step knee strikes (Best way to explain it: Like using the bench
corner to corner.)
Add: 2 then 3 repeater knee's
Keep it up as long as you like, it's a fun drill.
* Plyometric Move (anyone of your choice)
- 2x Scoop step (up and back) 32 counts
- 2x Shuffle right/ 4 punches - shuffle left/ 4 punches 32 counts
- Continue front punches into front upper's and hooks
- Speed bag
- 4x Walk up 4 counts/kick to the left - walk back 4 counts/kick to
the right 32 counts
- 4 Quick squats to the right then left.
Add: Right arm swing (block). Going back, left arm swing (block)
Repeat the whole thing again if you wish.
The last 15 minutes is different every class. (examples)
- Dyna bands, abs, cool-down
- Lateral speed training (email me for info), cool-down
- Teach a punch/kick combo, tri-ceps, cool-down
And there you have it. Please email me with any questions. I'd love to
hear from you.
