Fitness in Four Minutes: Boxing routine that works your arms, abs and legs

Special fitness on the beach and four minutes. Of course, today we are getting out of the ring and on to the boardwalk. That's right. We've got a boxing routine. It works your arms, it works your abs. It, of course, also works your legs and you can add in your own special flair no matter what cardio people are doing. There's a great way to incorporate some boxing into that, but sometimes boxing can feel intimidating to people. So Val's gonna talk us through a way that we can start adding it in to feel more comfortable. Absolutely. So, at the end of your first routine of cardio, we suggest starting into what's called a boxing stance. You're right, laid back, left forward hands by your face, nice and high. And he can throw three punches first to jab a cross and a hook and come back to the stance and repeat that one more time. Jab cross and hook and come back to the stance. I've notice that the feet, how the Elizabeth is gonna put her feet on punches. It's gonna be jab cross and that beautiful pivot on that hook and just like that every time you throw punches and when I'm pivoting, I really should be focusing on, you know, my part of my body, that core, that right, everything that, especially that second punch in that cross. The second punch you throw because that's your killer knock out punch. Absolutely. In fact, it's called a cross because it goes across your chest. As you throw a punch, you engage in your abs and as you come back, you throw that lead hook, your whole left side of your body is engaged using your abs once again. So how many of these do I wanna do? So? Five. Ok. So five times, 1231235 of these. If you want increase intensity, go a little faster, you increase the intensity and some more go for longer. Put your favorite song on and go throughout throughout the entire song that you play. If you wanna add more intensity, add some weight to your hands and just keep going, have some fun with it. All right. So now the next block we're gonna add in some cardio that can be jacks that could be jump rope, whatever it is, you could even walk outside like we are right now. What's my second block of work. So next block we walk is gonna be your leg work. And with a kick boxing experience, you back to that stance, you're right the back, right, the forward hands by your face, you're gonna do what's called a rear teeth. So your back leg comes up and you know, step your foot up in front of you and come back to the floor and do it one more time. Same leg and now add your lead leg. So the left leg, most of you come up and same thing with the left leg up, push in front of you and come back to the stage. Now, what's different than like if you think about like, you know, a rockette kick, right? How is this different? Where is that energy flowing from? Well, just like that, you show it right now. So as you put your leg up, you see how you use your core to stabilize your body. So when you pick your leg up, you use that cord to stabilize your body and you slap your leg out in front of you to come back to the stand. So it's here and come back. Now. One more thing you wanna do a little more advanced but your whatever leg you're throwing that same arm kind of snaps back just the way you do when you walk and run and your arms swing. Yeah, same thing here. That leg comes up and you're swinging the hand back and the other leg up. Exactly. Let's put it to your left and right. You go left and right and again, left. Now, if you want to increase the intensity, go for longer, 10 of these of these, we've got one more block of cardio, whatever it is. And then we're gonna put this all together. Yes, absolutely. My favorite part here you're gonna do a jab across a hook and a back leg. Your right leg, left leg peep and come back. Repeat it one more time. Jab cross hook one more time. One jab cross hook just like that. Thank you very much, everyone. Thank you. Thank you. All right, we got Rocky in the house ladies and hey, you better watch out. You better watch out. Don't worry.
