Kung Fu Workout

Yesterday we gave you a judo workout which was a tricky one to put together as judo is a sport that really needs to be practised with a partner. Today's Kung-Fu workout is much easier to do on your own because it involves kicking and punching and these are exercises that can easily be done in thin air. We've called this a Kung-Fu Workout because there are a few traditional Kung-Fu techniques in it but most of it could equally be used in a kickboxing, karate or taekwondo workout amongst others. As ever with kicking and punching exercises don't just go through the motions, actually strike with power or you won't be getting the full benefit of the workout. This is essentially a mix of punching and kicking although certain exercises are done in the stances you did on Tuesday so this will really work your legs. If you want to learn more about kung fu then visit this website www.shifuyanlei.co.uk for workout videos on the shaolin arts or you can try this book http://amzn.to/vzq4wL if you prefer just learning about the Chinese Art.

Do two or three sets of the following:

Knee-blocks x 30
Triple punch x 10
Straight leg raises x 20 (10 on each leg)
Sweeping block and reverse punch x 20 (10 in each direction)
Axe kick x 20
Central double block and hook x 20
Front spear kick x 20
Side jab and reverse punch x 20
Front jab kick x 20
Crouching block and reverse punch x 20
Side kick x 20
Jab and cross x 20 (10 with each arm leading)
Turning kick x 20
Hook and uppercut x 20
Roundhouse and knee block on return x 20

This will last a bit longer than some of our other workouts so if you have limited time then just do one set but if you can do more, all the better.
