Today is boxing day so I felt it appropriate to do the MMA Boxing workout! I liked it a lot. This w/o worked my core more than any other "box" workout that I've done. I particularly liked the third combo where you do the rock back then cross.
One of the things I really liked about this was the lack of kicks! It was just kind of nice for a change of pace.
The leg drills were high impact, but I have a plyo floor, so it's okay. These moves would be tough to modify while retaining the original flavor, particularly the first two drills. The third one is jump rope so you could just push off your toes for that one.
I could not do the frog sit-ups without my feet coming off the floor. I was trying to get my 7-yr-old to push me up, but that didn't work. Something to work towards.
I started to preview the bag w/o trying to decide if it could be done without a bag. I think it could, but didn't try it. Is the point of bag work to actually hit something so you get an extra oomph out of the movement? Maybe I'll try it next time. It would definitely up the cardio factor and does contain kicks. So if you missed the kicks in part A, this could be added on for additional leg work.
This would make an excellent travel workout. They do use weights in the ab section, but not strictly necessary. You could always sub some extra frog sit-ups for the weighted work. Ha, ha!
This one will be a keeper for sure. I feel my abs getting sleeker and tighter just thinking about it.
