Fight Your Way Fit

This upper body routine does not require hand weights, but if you have them, they will take the intensity level up a notch. Choose 1-2 kilogram weights to start.
 

  1. Begin with two minutes of traditional jumping jacks while pushing the hand weights up overhead.
  2. Next, simulate jumping rope for two more minutes by making small circles with your weights at the hips, and hopping your feet off the floor by a few inches.
  3. Don’t stop now – it’s time for shadow boxing! Bring your left foot forward, right foot back and jab with the left arm before immediately punching across the torso with the right. Jab and cross for 25 reps on each side.
  4. Keeping the left foot out, jab without cross for 25 reps.
  5. Switch to the cross-body punch without the jab, for 25 more reps.
  6. Boxing’s not boxing without speed-bag training! Quickly punch both arms upward, alternating as fast as you can for 25 reps total.
  7. Your upper body is screaming right now, so it’s time to finish where you started –25 more jumping jacks
