A Short Holiday Workout!

25 minute Impact Workout: Sticks, Mitts & Kicks!

With the holidays and family and too much great food, this seems like a good time to post one of my favorite no time and need to hit something workouts! 

You’ll each need a pair of sticks, a pair of gloves, a pair of thai pads and one pair of focus mitts between the two of you.  Each round is 4 minutes long with a 60 second rest in between. Set your timer on an interval of 30 seconds.  Round 1 you will either need the 1 minute interval or no interval at all. Rounds 2, 3 and 5 you’ll need the 30 second interval. I’ve found it’s easier to set it for 30 seconds at the outside and just ignore the bells you don’t need.

Round 1:

• Option 1: Double Stick Siniwalli (video for your reference) Heaven - Standard - Earth - Uppercut 6 - Backhand 6: for the entire round
