Balance Work
This is a
BoxAerobics pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 5871)
This exercise is great for the butt. Tell your students to
concentrate on squeezing their glute muscles for an intense
workout.
Start in a defensive position...right leg forward, left leg
back.
- Jab, right arm
- Rear punch, left arm
- Knee, left leg
- Hesitate, holding the knee up
- Back Kick, left leg
- Plant left leg and squat with elbows
All together it sounds like this...
Jab, punch, knee, back kick without putting the knee down
Repeat as many times as you want.
During your last repetition of this combination, tell your
students to hold the back kick up. Then, have them slowly
drop it to the ground into a lunge. You can then add on...
- Lunge squat
- Knee up, left leg
Then change it to...
- Lunge squat
- Front kick, left leg
And finally...
- Lunge squat
- Round kick to the side
After your last round kick to the side have your students plant
the left leg so both feet are shoulder with apart. Now, side
base (or boxer shuffle).
Then, have them turn their heads and arms to the left -- legs
are still doing the boxer shuffle -- and...
- Jab, left arm
- Front elbow strike, left arm (strike would take your
opponent under the chin)
- Jab, left arm
- Side elbow strike, left arm (strike would take your
opponent in the side of the head)
Repeat as many times as you want. Then...
- Jab with the left arm only
To move them back towards the front of the room...
- Jab, left arm to the side of the room
- Hook, left arm to the front of the room
Repeat until you finally hook to the front of the room only.
Now, your feet have switched. Your left leg is forward and
right leg is back. Repeat the combination from the beginning.
Good luck and enjoy.
