Cathe Friedrich's MMA Boxing

Non-stop upper-body punches and lower-body "fast feet" exercises; this is "boxing," not kickboxing. You get the energy and effectiveness of a real boxers' workout -- burning fat, boosting endurance and building coordination. The upper-body segments feature fast-paced boxing basics like jabs, uppercuts, hooks and crosses. The lower-body sections emphasize fast-feet exercises -- small, high-impact jumps on the balls of your feet (surprisingly tough, and great for agility and stamina). All these movements are blended together in the combo segments. The ending floorwork is also boxer-specific; it's designed to build rock-hard, punch-resistant abs. DVD has a bonus, 18-minute heavy bag workout. 5 lb. dumbbells are used in the toning; weighted gloves are optional. Note: MMA means mixed martial arts. ©2009.
