Kickbox Jam is part of AngeFitnessTV‘s Kick Fit program. This program contains 6 workouts and I plan to do all 6. This morning I did two of the Kick Fit workouts back to back: this workout plus Box & Sculpt. In addition, I’ve also previously done Box & Burn, Cardio Kickboxing Zone and Kickboxing Intervals. Overall this is a great little series/program. They are all 30 minute workouts that combine cardio kickboxing or boxing with some modality of strength work. And they are all different. They all include a warm up and stretch. Angie packs a lot into these excellent short workouts. She also sells a rotation calendar if you would like to do this series as a 4 week rotation. I purchased that calendar and may do some variation of it for my doubles workouts for a while. I do love these workouts!
This workout is primarily cardio kickboxing but it also includes some core work. The balance portion is doing kicks while holding the stability ball and that is more challenging then it sounds! There is also some balance work when you get on the mat to work your core. Each exercise is done for one minute and this is an entirely low impact workout. I wore my 8 pound weighted vest and one pound weighted gloves. Since I did Box & Sculpt first, I forgot to wear my ankle weights. I normally wear 1 pound ankle weights for low impact kickboxing workouts. I will definitely remember in the future! Between the two workouts I burned 480 calories, “walked” 4195 steps and was even in my peak heart rate zone for 6 minutes of the workout–that 6 minutes was during this workout.
