[Music] what’s up has four tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and this is my cardio kickboxing workout now there’s no equipment required for today’s routine but if you want to add some extra resistance feel free to grab on to either a couple of light hand weights or water bottles if you’re ready to go let’s do this [Music] alright let’s get started with our warm-up first one for the day is gonna warm up our posterior chain let’s get a nice wide stance with our toes point is slightly out slight bend in our knees we’re gonna do a split three reach so first let’s go ahead and reach out in front of us if you can reach and touch the floor that’s great back up straight down just a slight bend in those knees hips go back and then we’re gonna reach back between our legs now if you can’t quite touch the floor just do the best you can on the three reaches you should have a slight bend in your knees and you’re driving your hips back on every extension every time you’re bringing those hips back hinging at those hips warming up your glutes hamstrings and lower back getting ready for all this action we have coming up now the purpose of our warm-up today is to get your heart rate up and at the same time get a little extra mobility in and when raise and increase that overall body temperature making sure to breathe here again just a slight bend in those knees one reach out in front one straight down keep that head in line with your spine and then one through the legs finishing up here in five four three two one zero moving on to a straight leg kick and twist arms are out at your side now we’re gonna twist and kick in two opposite side and trying to touch that opposite side toe if you can’t quite do this you can go ahead and just bring that opposite side knee up as you twist you decide which variation is right for you again making sure to breathe this is a great one to loosen up and warm up that spine that spinal mobility as well as your hamstrings glutes shoulders chest a great all-in-one move getting you ready for these kicks and knees that we have coming up as well making sure to move at a warmup pace here we do want to get your heart rate up but at the same time it is just the warmup can’t quite get your legs up as high as I am here or really throughout today’s workout that’s all right we’re gonna encourage you to make it your own keep breathing keep moving here let’s go five four three two one zero okay a little combo move here we’re gonna go side to side butt kick plus arm crossover alternating between kicking your right and left glute at the same time alternating which arm do you have on top on that arm crossover again another combo move here shoulders chest back hamstrings quadriceps I’ll get them loosened up at the same time feeling loose here also a great move to just improve overall mobility call that a little extra credit throughout the warm-up so our last warm-up move take a second here to remind yourself what brought you here today to begin with what’s your goal what’s your motivator staying focused on it throughout today’s workout it’s gonna help you get through to the end all right keeping it going here almost done let’s go five

forward then we’re gonna triple hop back one two three step in jab step in jab step in jab three hops back repeat again when I kind of count any repetitions throughout today’s routine so we’re just getting in as many reps in as you can throughout this time period making sure to bring your hands back to your chin after every punch if you need to adjust any of these for your space or lack thereof

let’s go last ten seconds what do you got what do you got four five four three two one zero hands are at your chin 50/50 stance we’re gonna pair a side to side as we squat getting that core involved and stay at your chin sitting back weight in our hips getting those obliques fire in here side to side side to side nice and control getting that time under tension and then we’re feeling it here when those legs you tired and they’re burning and they tell you they got nothing left you got to take control you’re in charge not your legs you can’t squat with your legs anymore squat with your heart let’s see it you can do this you can do anything think about how good you’re gonna feel when this workout is all done almost there try come on don’t quit on me don’t quit on yourself let’s go five four three two one zero and and that is it you made it you set those hand weights down I’m feeling it too no movie magic here take a couple of deep breaths and we’re gonna move into a cool-down we can actually move to the floor take your time coming on down now the purpose of the cooldown is allow our heart rates to come down slowly and at the same time we’re going to get a little bit added mobility and stretching in here a lot of quadricep work today so we’re starting with a lying quad stretch I’m going to reach back either grab your foot or your ankle good posture that knee and clothes try not to flare it out we’re just doing a static stretch so we’re just holding and any static stretch we’re getting to about 85 90 percent of what you’re capable of you want to feel a good stretch but you don’t want to feel real pain either nice big deep breaths allowing that heart rate to come down four five four three two one zero all right let’s switch it up now same move opposite side turn it over totally common and begin totally common if you have one side a little tighter than the other don’t let that alarm you I know a lot of time my left is a little tighter than my right that’s why we’re going through the stretches that’s why unilateral moves and unilateral stretches working one side at the top at a time it can be so effective help us to even out any imbalances we may have again big deep breaths here four five four three two one stretch it out we’re coming up onto our back side let’s get those legs out straight in front of us a little combo move here we’re gonna do a seated reach bring those toes back arms up and over big reach if you can reach your toes great if not do the best you can pulling those toes back either way stretching hamstrings glutes hamstring lower back we’re gonna come straight up with the arms straight up and do a scarecrow bring those elbows down stretching out that back and shoulders great mobility move and then back up and over big stretch through the posterior chain and hold three two one arm straight up and good posture as we pull down on those elbows like we have a string attached to a nice and slow up and over keep those knees down don’t allow them to come up so if that means you can’t quite touch your toe that’s okay we’re at here keep those knees down arms up good posture hold down on those elbows let’s go one last I’m arms up and over toes are back feeling those calves hamstrings glutes lower back holding four three two one straight up and down on those elbows good posture alright last one we’re gonna do a butterfly stretch now I want you to bring those feet together and we’re gonna bring them in as close as we can to you may be closer than me and maybe more out here do the best you can it’s a great one for your hips as well as your groin area a lot of work on those kicks today and now we can gently apply pressure down on the legs and this is just a static hold so we’re just holding again 85 90 % what you’re capable of for additional stretch go ahead and bring your upper body forward you decide if that’s right for you or if you’re okay just in the upright position really depends on what it takes for you to get to that eighty ninety percent stretch threshold nice big deep breaths here taking a minute to just be proud of what you’ve achieved today I know I’ve said it before but it bears repeating it’s
