Kickboxing workout YouTube video (abs and hips)

This quick 17-minute kickboxing workout focuses on the abs, core and hips. It’s a high-intensity and low-intensity combination cardiovascular workout, and I provide modifications if you want to avoid jumping and keep one foot on the ground at all times.   Below are the exercises performed in this workout, in order:  

1. Alternating hip lifts with hip circles
2. Straight side leg lifts, try not to touch the raised foot to the floor for an added balance challenge
3. Jog in place
4. Alternating front punches
5. Ab crunch plus a snap kick. Keep that foot pointed.
6. Same as above but add a punch
7. Jump rope with kicks: jump twice on one foot, kick other foot back, then forward.
8. Leg extensions with a flexed foot
9. Bring knee to chest plus a leg extension (to prepare for push-kicks)
10. Walking push-kicks
11. Walking push-kicks forward with punches
12. Cheer jacks
13. V-step cool down
14. Knee hugs
15. Calf stretch
16. Standing quadriceps stretch
17. Cross one foot in front of the other for hamstrings stretches, repeat on other side
