Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt is another fun (and free!) fusion workout from Jessica Smith. In this workout you get kickboxing, barre and strength training–all in just under 35 minutes and all low impact. This is not her most intense metabolic workout, but I still loved it. The intensity actually builds as the workout progresses. When you are doing the sculpting, it is high rep so you cannot lift heavy, but Jessica does burn out whatever upper body muscle she is working. I wore my 2 pound weighted gloves throughout to increase the intensity of not just the kickboxing but everything.
Peanut is present but passed out like she is dead through most of the workout.
Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt is 34:30 minutes long; I do not know how long the warm up is since it starts with boxing drills, and 1:30 minute stretch. Jessica is using a set of 3 pound dumbbells for everything. I used 3, 5 and 10 pound dumbbells, and I also wore 2 pound weighted gloves throughout the entire workout.
