Kickboxing Workout: Sculpt Muscles and Blast Fat

1. Jab

This is a straight punch; if the right foot is in front, the right hand is jabbing.

Imaginary Target: Nose

• Stand with right foot forward in fighting stance.
• Rotate right hip forward, extending right arm.
• Twist forearm so the fist is parallel to the floor at full extension, arm in line with shoulder.
• Recoil immediately.

Quick Tip: Jabs are fast, surprise punches, so strike as quickly as possible with control.

Fighting Stance

• Stand with feet staggered, knees slightly bent, rear heel lifted.
• Bring fists to chin, elbows near ribs, palms facing each other.
