34 Minute Kickboxing Shred Workout - SHRED #2

Hey, everybody. I'm Amy from Bodyfit by Amy. And this is your kickboxing shred workout. This is day two of your shred challenge. In this workout, we are going to get some heart pumping, cardio, and also some toning and sculpting using some kickboxing inspired moves. Don't worry, we're not going to be doing your traditional kickboxing flow with lots of crazy combos. We're going to be taking intervals where we build from cardio all the way up to a shred round. I'll give you different options to work to your level and be where you are today. You don't need any equipment for this workout, just some space to move. Are you ready? Let's do it. Let's get started with a little warm up. You can march it out. Roll those shoulders. We're gonna get a little movement prep with a dynamic warm up. Getting our bodies ready to go, getting the blood flowing, muscles warm as always. If you need more of a warm up or cool down, please get it on your own. We're just going to get a couple minutes here. We'll be ready, but sometimes we need a little more mobility. So you can check out my extended warm up and extended cool down links are in the description below. Let's shake everything out. Let's take it to a nice flat back down and round it up. Warming up through that spine. Since we're going to be getting those punches all the way through our back and shoulders and also opening up the hips because we'd be getting some kicks right through here. Take it down, hold it here. Roll those shoulders one and then the other. So I want a good little stretch while you push out gently on the inside of the legs. Again, opening up the hips. So we'll get some mobility, work some dynamic movements and then we'll continue our warm up with our punches and our kicks as a little prep. Right? So walk them in, round it up. Right through here. Let's take a nice step back and reach, opening up the hips out for that balance. So you're just tapping back. If you want to take it to a little more of a lunge, you can, but it's up to you. Take it here, hold it here. I want you to stretch it over. If you need a little balance, take it. And then if you can, I want you to reach it over right through here. Big stretch and then reach. You can even take it here. Reach, balance, right and step it back. Let's go. Other side. So reach, you decide and then reach. If you want to be low in it. Get those legs warming up. Or a little higher. Reach and reach. Take it back in. Let's open it up wide side lunge. Open it up. Stretch through those arms. All the way through. And the shoulders again, opening up the hips. Hold it here. Just reach and reach. Reach and reach. Keep it moving. You decide how low you want to get and if you're able to reach through. Yes, good. Walk those feet in. Reach. Round it up one more time. Let's start with just that little tap and reach. So a little cardio warm up. Then we'll go into our punches. Taking it over. Here's what we got, team. So we were taking a kickboxing shred. So instead of our traditional kickboxing flow, which we often do, which a lot of us love, right, where we build, we make some combos with some different punches and some kicks. Here's what we do today. You have one move, a punch or a kick or one combo, but not crazy combo, I promise. Let's take it a hamstrings up to the back. You take it with that and then we add on. So we have your base level. Your first round, a little lower impact. It's where we really focus on the form of whatever it is we're doing, whether that's a punch or a kick or a movement. Then your next 30 seconds is your cardio round. Directly after that, that's where we're really going to get that heart rate up. Then your last 30 seconds. So three sets of 30 seconds, you're is your shred round. That is where we are going to get that toning. We're going to do some isolations. So think little tiny movements with your punches or your kicks where we get a little bit of toning. Burn out those muscles while we keep the heart rate up. Step it out right here. Then you get 30 seconds of a breather. So 30, 30, 30 base cardio shred and then quick breather. All right, you're gonna like it. This format goes fast and again you're learning and then you're building on. You can always keep it at that base level. So let's take it right here. A little boxer shuffle. We're going to keep it forward. Normally we do southpaw and orthodox, but we're going to keep it forward for our warm up punches. Guard is up, core engage. So warming up, but also we'll get that heart pumping so we get that cardio. Here we go. Punch, punch. It's just your jab right through here. Just keeping it moving right? Huh? All the way through your jabs. You're going across. Pivot on those knees and hips and keep it moving. Let's switch it to your upper. Take it up, up. So again, unlike our regular kickboxing, we're going to be working in intervals, so you can watch that clock. And we'll keep it pretty basic. Still getting that heart rate up. The things we love from kickboxing. We're gonna get it done, but you don't have to think that we're moving the whole time or going with crazy combos. Take it. Hook. Remember your hook again. Turning on the knees and the hips pull up and around. And of course, you can be where you are today. If your speed is slower than mine, totally fine. If you're faster, totally fine. As long as you have good form. Don't worry too much about that. Let's take it cross, cross, turn the knees and the hips. As long as you have good form, that is all that matters. This is your workout. You are already succeeding just by being here. You showed up today. You are successful. Let's take it right here. A little squat, little knee. So it's that knee chamber. Bring it up. Bring that hip forward. We're prepping for the kicks. You don't have to get super high again. This is still your warm up, right? But we're getting that heart pumping. Breathe. And up. You're like. I thought you said one move, right? Let's take it to a front kick. Right here. We'll keep that squat. Squat. Pull it through. You can make it that push kick with the heel or snap kick with the toe. And again. You don't have to get high. You can keep it low. 4. 3, 2. Last one. Take it here. Alternate. Pull it through. Pull it through again. We're just learning those knees and those punches before we go into our intervals. Let's tap it out to the side. Tap. Little side chamber, right? Tap lift. Getting the obliques. Let's take it to a side kick. Tap and kick again. You can make it almost that roundhouse pointed kick. Or push through the heel away from your body. Four. Three. Two. Last one. Other side. Right here. Tap, lift. Tap. Getting a feel for it? Yes. Take it to the kick. Guard up. Tap kick or tap push kick. Either one. We're not so strict on which one you're doing here. Whatever feels good for your body. You define what feels good. Two. One more. Here we go. Boxer shuffle. So this is your boxer shuffle. We're always going to come back to this in that interval. In between either a boxer shuffle or a little bob and weave, right? As we move right side to left side. And in those 30 seconds, you can always grab water. In fact, let's do that now before we get into this first interval. You can always grab water. We'll have a few times that I will remind you, but you can get it whenever you need. All right? So earn that 30 second rest. Meaning you don't have to earn it, but meaning go hard, especially in those last round. Two rounds. We're gonna start staggered, so you're in that orthodox position. Guard is up. We're starting with just a jab out. Single jab, three, two, one. 30 seconds. Jab. So it's your front punch, right? So up to you. If you want to keep it here, you want to take it slower, this is your base level. I want you to punch out, pull in, punch out, pull in. Turn the knees and the hips. Core is engaged. Or you can step into it, whatever you got. Because we're picking up the pace in 10 seconds to get our cardio round, right? We're gonna work this arm, work this shoulder, work this side of the back and your core. Let's take it cardio right here. So we're jab right through here. Step into it, bring it back. Whatever is taking it up for you, if that is that full jump, it's up to you. You can even take it corner to corner. Let's do that corner. It's a corner, right? Jab, jab. Step into it or jump it. 10 seconds, then we're gonna shred it. We're gonna go really quick ones to the front and really isolate the back of the shoulder. Watch me here. Join me. You can go stationary, point out, squeezing that back, or quick feet. Shred. Yes. Breather's coming either way. I want it tight in the shoulder. Tighten the core. Pull back, pull back. Jab, jab. Yes, you can. 10 seconds to go. These are how these intervals are gonna look. A lot of right side, left side, five, four, three, two, one. Bob and weave. Catch your breath, right? So you feel that on that shred round, we're gonna go quick and tight, especially with these punches. Bob and weave to that other side. We got same thing here, so we got your regular jab. Bring it out. We're gonna take it a little cardio. We'll add a corner to corner, and then we'll shred it right through here. Keep that bob and weave right through here. Core engage. Guard up. Plant those feet. Get ready. We got other side. 30. 30. Starting base. Here we go. Jab. Pull it back. Right. Underneath, Right. Your guard is up. You can step into it or you can just turn. Core, core pop of that. Yes. Again. You can go slow. I want controlled movement. I want intentional movement, right. So we can pull it right back in. I don't care what it looks like. I want good form. I want that heart rate up. I want those muscles working. Let's take a cardio in 3, 2, 1. So whatever taking it up is for you, maybe that's just adding a little bounce. Maybe that's bringing that knee up. Maybe that's just going a little quicker. You take it in your version of your cardio round if you want. Corner, corner. Breathe, nice and tight. I don't want you flailing all over the place. I want it really precise, intentional. Let's take it here. Quick shred. You can keep the quick feet moving, or you can plant your feet. And this shred can look like this. Whatever. You got to keep it tight and keep those muscles working. Shoulders, back, core, engage. 15 seconds. Shred round. Make it good. Keep that elbow coming in out in front of your body. Punch, pull back for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Tap it out, Bob. And we. All right, shake it out. Yes. Breathe. All right, team, so tying it all together with those jack, with those jabs, we're gonna go low impact Jack jab, low impact jack jab. And then we're taking it here. Jack and jab. Not starting yet. And then when we get to our shreds, we're going here in a squat jab. Quick ones. Here we go. Three, two, one. Low impact jab. Low impact jab. If you want. Both arms up, both arms up. Strong punch. Strong. Then we're retiring our jabs for the day. Or for this move right out and in. Oh, not yet. I know my brain wants to take it to the higher level, but I gotta remember we're pacing ourselves. We're going for the long game here. In five, four, three, two. Keep it here. Or if you want. Here we go. Jack, jab, breathe. Yes. Low impact is totally fine. You can increase that intensity. Or up and down. Up. Strong. We just want that heart pumping. We want those muscles working. Arms are gonna get a break in just a second. Breathe. Yes. Take it here. Low. I want you almost in a squat, like the bottom of that. It's quick ones if you can't get even lower. We want legs and arms working here, but mostly those arms. So keep it. Yes, you can. 10 seconds to go. Now it's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 boxer shuffle. Let's grab a sip of water, team. I know feeling it. Because that warm up, warm up was cardio intensive. Right, Quick sip of water. Here we go, team. Here's what we got. So we're starting backwards here. We're gonna take it squat. We're gonna pull through with that chamber kick. Squat, pull through. Cardio. We're taking the kicks, then we're gonna pulse it. Here we go. 3, 2, 1. Squat. Pull through with your kick. Squat, pull through with your kick. So you're getting low. Chamber knee. Then extend it out. Remember, you can do that push kick or you can do that snap kick, whatever is good for you. Get low base. Pull it through. I like to pull through with my arms, but it's up to you. You can keep that guard up because that's what you were doing. You would be doing right. 5, 4, 3. Take the squat out. Cardio. Pull through, pull through. Notice my hips. I'm turning into it. I'm keeping that core engaged. I'm bringing those arms up strong right here. Take it up, take it up, take it up. Or here you can push, you can push or you can snap. Yes. Here's what we got, team. In 10 seconds, we're gonna pulse for three with those legs. And then we're gonna kick it out strong. In 5, 4, 3, 2. Get low. 3, 2, 1. Kick strong. 3, 2, shredded. You can get low and then come high, but you don't have to get high. Make those legs burn and get that strong kick. Get low into the heels, power through that toe or the heel, where whatever you are doing for your kick. Five, four, three. Power it up. Last one. Yes. Shake it out. Boxer shuffle. Right. Little legs. I know. Let's give them a little break. We're going side step and cross. Side step and cross. Then we're gonna go shuffle. Then we're gonna go quick feet. Cross, cross, cross, cross. All right, let's get it done a little more cardio based, but we're still gonna get that shred. In five, four. Guard is up. Moving laterally. Here we go. Double step, cross. Double step, cross if you want. Pull those arms through. Punch. This is your base level. I still want strong arms, strong legs. We got 10 seconds to go. Then we're going to take it to a shuffle. So this is a little different in the. In the sense that our cardio round, where we really go for it is that middle round. So let's get it done. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Hup. If that's not right for you, you just keep that double step punch. Double step punch if you can. Quick feet. Yes. 15 seconds. Heart rate's getting up. Either way, we're gonna slow it down to shred, but we're gonna get those arms working, right? Yes. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Watch me here. Punch, punch. Quick feet. Other side. Quick feet. Punch, punch fast or. And march. Yes. Quick. Other side. Strong punches. Shred it. 10 seconds. I know. I'm feeling it too. Keeping the legs on fire. Right? One more. Yes. Tab it out. I need some water after that one. I don't know about you, so let's shake it out. All right, team, catch your breath, Right? All right, we're gonna take it back to some upper body. We're getting some uppercuts. All right, so let's take it to the side. We're gonna go right and left. We're actually alternating until we get to that shred, and then we're really getting it done. Let's take it here. Orthodox. Here we go. Upper, upper. One side and then the other, right? Yes. Breathe. You can do it. Yes. Core engage. Right through here. Move those feet. Come up and under. Yes. Breathe. In 10 seconds, we're gonna do a one, two, knee. So upper, upper knee. Front knees coming up. Watch me one time. Here we go. Upper, upper knee. Upper, upper, upper. Let's go. Three, two, one. Let's go. Three punches. Sorry about that. That's what I had written down. Upper, upper, upper knee. You can power it up. Strong punches. Get low. 3, 2, 1. 3, 2, 1. You do not have to go at my pace. We're taking it to just the uppers in three, two, one. Just one side. Think about those jabs, right? Quick, quick. We got biceps, back, and core, and pivot into it. Shred, shred. Yes. Come up and under. You can. You can even give yourself a target if you need it. You can also take it slower. Whatever you need to do to keep that core working, get those arms shredded. Back, back. Three, two, one. Bob and weave. Yes. Take it to the other side. You can shake out those arms while you're doing it. Traditional bob and weave, you'd be moving away from your opponent, right? But let's shake out those arms. All right, Same thing here, team. Just to refresh your memory. While you're doing a bob and weave, we're gonna go right and left with our uppers. Then we're going 1, 2, 3. Upper, upper, upper, knee. You can start slow. You can pick up that pace. When we get to our shred round, really get it with those arms and the back Here we go. Uppers, right, left, base, level. I want you to really think about those punches coming up and under from the hip. Uppercut, you're getting under the chin, right? If you're really getting that opponent, you can visualize that if it helps you. But I want you also to think about wrapping that core in. Core is strong. That is your base, right? So every punch that you're taking or every punch that you're throwing, you've got that strong base to keep you secure. Let's take it. 1, 2, 3. And knee. Here we go. 1, 2, 2, 3. Upper, upper, upper. You do not have to go as fast as me. I'm used to teaching kickboxing to the music, so I kind of have to hear it in my head. But don't worry about it. You do you right. 1, 2, 3. That can be you. Or 1, 2, 3. Strong uppers. Strong knee. Front punch. Yes, you can. We're getting ready to shred it in. Three, two, one. Right here. Remember, you can give yourself a target. Or imagine you're coming up and under the opponent. Or the heavy bag. Right, Heavy bag or speed bag. Or that mitt. Strong back, strong arms, strong core. Sweat my eyes. You know it's working, right? Take it up. 10 seconds. Breathe. You got four. Three, two, and one. Boxer shuffle. Ha. Shake those arms out, right? So, boxer shuffle, side to side. Let's get it done. Shake them out right here. All right, so we're moving into a little side kick right here. So watch me. We're going tap. It can be a tap or a squat. Step in, kick it out. Right? Right through here. Kick it out. Then we're just on kicks for cardio, right? You can tap it. Here we go. Take a tap and kick. Slow and controlled. Out and kick. Step it out. And squat or tap it out. Lift. Remember, you're lifting from the hip, all on one side. We're gonna stay here. When we get to those kicks, we're gonna pick up that pace. And then when we get to the shred, we're gonna hold it. So you might want to find a wall or a chair when we get there, because we're gonna hold it and make it burn. Let's go cardio. Ready? Tap. You can go here or tap. That's what I'm going for. I know I get more cardio when I add that tap, because I can get that power. But it's up to you if you want to just keep the leg, whatever gets that heart pumping and gets it working. We're gonna hold it in 10 seconds, just your kick. Breathe. We got 5, 4, 3, 2. Hold it up right here. We're gonna kick, kick. So whatever you need to do for me. I'm gonna find the wall, leaning into it, but not much. I want you to be here if you can. Balance. Yes. Burn. I know it's hard to do. We're gonna get those obliques. We're gonna get the hip. Hold it up even higher if you can. Quick, quick, huh? 10 seconds. I know. It should be burning all the way through. Also getting that glute. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Right, let's have it here. Yes. Through that side. All right, team, now you know what to expect on that other side. So we got slow and controlled with that kick, right? Then we got tap and kick. Or if you'd rather, just your single side kick. And then we're holding it. We're gonna do little kicks. We're gonna burn it up through here, here, here. So grab a wall or a chair if you need to, or bring it down in between. Let's get it done. Other side. 3, 2, 1 side and kick. If you need to warm it up even more, you can just lift from the hip on this one to get a feel for it. Then when you're ready, add that kick. Squat it down kick. Remember, you can do push kick through the heel or point the toes. Guard can be up. Whatever you need. I like to pull it through sometimes. That really helps me. Are we ready? We're taking it. Cardio tap and kick or side kick. Ready? Here we go. Tap, kick, tap, kick. I am not concerned about how fast or how high you're going. I want good form, so I would much rather you be slower than sloppy. Right. Intentional movement is what we want. That's what gets our heart pumping. That's what gets our muscles working. And breathe. So I'm remembering. I'm reminding myself to slow it down. Right? I'm still gonna get the cardio from here with better form. 3, 2. Hold it. Here we go. Kick it out. You can balance here. I'm jealous. I'm not gonna be able to do it. I'm gonna take it to the wall. We got 20 more seconds. Point that toe or flex that foot. Whatever is good for you. You're lifting from the side. I know it's burning. Staying grounded in that stationary leg. Core zipped. Breathe. Yes, you can. I know. Four, three, two. Boom. Shake it out, Right? Let's tap it out. Breathe. Yes. I know. Yes. Team.
