30 MINUTE KICKBOXING CIRCUIT - Workout From Home (Show Up Day #12)

Hey, everybody, I'm Amy from Bodyfit by Amy. And this is your kickboxing circuit workout. So this is a body weight cardio kickboxing workout and we're going to be working in circuits. A lot of times with boxing, we go in a flow without intervals. But in this workout, we're going to have circuits of intervals. We'll have four moves that we do for 40 seconds of work and then we will repeat for 30 seconds of work. Of course, I'm going to give you lots of different options. Low impact, high impact, all so you can work to your level. Are you ready? Let's do it. Go ahead and just start moving your body. We're just going to get a little march. You can roll those shoulders. We're going to get a quick warm up. We'll get some mobility work here and we'll warm up with some of our punches and then we'll go into those circuits. So we have three circuits today of four moves. First time through, we go for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds of rest. Second time through, we go 30 seconds of work, 10, 15 seconds of rest. And in that second time around, I may give you a few things just to make it a little more fun. But of course, it's all optional. I'm going to be giving you options as I always do. I'm going to remind you to be where you are today and remember that if you showed up today, you are successful. This workout, flat back down and rounded up, as well as all my workouts. It's all about showing up, right? I want to give you options to get stronger, to build endurance, to get more mobility, flexibility, to reach those goals. I want to challenge you, but at the end of the day, I just want you to keep coming back and keep moving your body. Let's take our hands here, roll those shoulders. So showing up and moving is the name of the game. So we're gonna get a few little mobility things here. Let's open out into those hips, little side lunge, and then we'll warm up with some of our punches. We're gonna keep our moves pretty basic and again, I will give. Have fun with it. Don't worry about what your punches look like or if you're with me, slower or faster doesn't matter. Let's take it here side to side. The goal again is just to move, to get our hearts pumping, get our muscles working. I think sometimes with kickboxing people feel like they have to be coordinated. Let's walk those feet in, roll the hips, little squat, Roll the hips, little squat. But you don't have to be coordinated. You don't have to be on the beat. You don't have to move fast at all. Again, we are just here to move. Let's take a little tap back right here. Tap, yes. And then we're gonna get ready. We're gonna continue this, warm up with some punches. If you want, you can lunge it down, little reach, lunge it down, little reach. Up to you. Or here, here. Balance is too much. Just step back and turn or hold on to the wall. Last one. Let's tap it out and reach across. Big stretch through the shoulders, through that core. Turning the knees and the hips, which is what we're gonna do with our punches. Reach it over your head right here, just like that. Hopefully you're already feeling your heart rate get up and you're feeling that mobility as that body temperature is getting up. We're gonna reach it down right here. Hands here, here and back. You can do a little tap out or you can just do a little pivot. Pivot. But I want you to turn the hips. Yes, you can. Tap, tap. Here we go. We got 4, 3, 2, 1. Let's take it here. Knees cross. Cross those elbows if you can. So we get a little bit of that rotational movement. Again, that's what we're going to do with our punches. But breathe. Four, three, two. Let's take it straight on right here. We're just gonna do jabs, jabs. So we're gonna keep our warm up punches straight on. Then we're gonna go into our right and our left, our southpaw orthodox. As we get into these intervals of this circuit, you're just punching out again. Knee and hips. And if you want, we're gonna pick up our speed. One, two. Right here. One, two. One, two. Guard is up. That's just protecting your face. That's that. Ready position. 4, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4. 3, 2. Let's go. Uppers, upper. Nice and light again. This is still just the warm up and raising that heart rate. You can keep it here or uppers, uppers. Yes, you can. What do you got? I'm picking up those feet. Or you can keep them planted. Slower, fast. 8, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Let's take it hooks. Take it up and around. Yes, you can. Boom. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. We're gonna reach across here. Reach side to side so all the way across your body, right? And if you want, we're gonna take it to a cross punch. Cross, cross. Yes. Team, keep it going. 4, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Let's take it to a little jump rope. All right, so while you're jumping rope, you can march it, you can jog it. We're gonna get into that first circuit in just a second. So. So light on those feet, right? You're orthodox and southpaw. You're side to side. One side, we go to the other. We're going to do some switching in between. I'm going to give you options to walk it around or to jump it around. It is up to you. Little boxer shuffle, little bob and weave, little jump. All right, so keep that jump rope. Our first is going to be four jabs. We're going 4, 3, 2, 1. And then you can box your shuffle to the other side. 4, 3, 2, 1. Or you can jump or you can just walk it. All right, so guard is up. Turn one side. Doesn't matter. Orthodox southpaw. Let's do it. 40 seconds. 4, 3, 2, 1. Other side. 4, 3, 2, one. Other side. Again, you can go and jump. Where are you today? Are you just a slow punch and a walk? That's okay too. Or are you a double time punch and a jump or somewhere in between, which might be here? 4, 3, 2, 1. Jump it or walk it or run it? 3, 2, 1. Yes. Catch your breath. All right, so you pick. You're gonna have 20 seconds to breathe. Next one, we're just doing knees. All right, so we're just knees. We're just starting regular. In round two, I'm gonna give you an option to do a knee and a punch, right? Or a knee and punch together, starting with just your knees. In three, two, one. Here we go. So again, what do you need in this moment and in this workout? Do you need a little lower impact, a little slower? Just 10, tap, tap, or here, do you really want to bring it up? Cross it, right? Think of that knee slam in martial arts. Or if you have an opponent right side to side. I actually love this one because you can really think knee strike like you would do with an opponent or old school aerobics. What do you got, team? We got five, four, three, two, one. Tap it out. All right, next we're gonna go to those uppers. Same idea. We got four uppers and then we turn our sides, right? So we're upper, upper, upper, upper, jump, upper, upper, upper, upper or boxer shuffle or walk you do you. Let's get it done. Guard is up. Uppers, Here we go. 4, 3, 2, 1. Shuffle. 4, 3, 2, one. Shuffle Here we go. Or jump it. 4, 3, 2, One. You pick. Remember, form over speed. So I would much rather you have good form but a little slower then and not really getting the core into that the back. Everything in nice and tight. Here we go. 4, 3, 2, 1. Keep it going. Last one. 4, 3, 2, one. Yes, team. All right, so last one is your front kicks again. We'll add on as we go, but we're gonna lift, kick it out, lift, kick it out. Can take it nice and slow. You can do a snap kick, little push, or a push kick with that heel up to you. Guard is up. Here we go. Pull, pull, start slow as you get a feel for this motion. And I do not care if you have that high kick or if you're down low, I want you to do you right. If you feel good, you want to pick up that pace, pull those hips forward again. Even if you're doing that push, kiss kick with your heel, right? Imagine that opponent. You're gonna lean back, core engage. Here we go. Pull it through, pull it through. Five seconds. Then we're into circuit two. Quicker intervals, quicker rest. Three, two, one. All right, team, so we're gonna go back to those jabs. And if you back to those chaps, quick. If you want to jump it, if you want to shuffle it, if you want to walk it. But we got 30 seconds of work. We got 15 seconds of rest. Then we're going to those knees. I'll show you. We're going to add the jack. Here we go. 30 seconds. 4, 3, 2, 1. Shuffle or 4, 3, 2, 1. Jump and walk it. Yes, you can. You can even be here. That's okay, too. Your workout.

Here's what I want. If you want to bring those knees up or if you want to do a slam and jab, slam and jab. Up to you. Let's do it again. This is more of your cardio kickboxing, right?

You got five, four, three, two, one. Catch your breath into those uppers again. Upper, upper, upper, upper. Walk it around, jog it around. Or boxer shuffle rather, or jump. 30 seconds. Let's do it. Upper, upper, upper, upper. Here we go upper, upper, upper, upper jump. Turn it in here. Maybe you want to work on your agility. So you're going to do the boxer shuffle or a quick turn. Maybe you want to work on your power. So you're gonna do that jump. 4, 3, 2, 1. And breathe. All right, team, last one to those kicks. If you want to add to it, squat and kick, squat and kick. Little legs, little power. Let's do it. Here we go. Take it down, pull it through. Down. And again. You can can do push kick or you can do snap kick. Up to you, but keep that balance. Pull it through, down, hand up. If you'd rather keep those singles pulling through, can you get a little quicker? Your workout. Ten seconds. Boom, boom. And breathe. Three, two, one, one. That is it, team. Grab a sip of water. We're getting into this next circuit. You can keep your feet moving. That's what it looks like. A circuit of four moves repeated a second time. Even quicker.

If you're ready. 3, 2, 1. What I don't want you to lose. If you quicken the footwork. I don't want you to lose this form, right? So I don't want to see this, right? 3, 2, 1.

Kick it up, take it down again. If you want a little balance. If you'd rather focus on that form, balance on the wall kick and down kick. Especially if you need a little heart rate break, feel free to take out that extra step. Just focus on the form of the kick. Core engage. Lift from the hip. If you want more cardio, tap it right here. And breathe. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Yes, team. All right, back to the top. 30 seconds. So we have our hooks. So let's take it to four. Four, three, two, one.
