Instead of commenting on the negative parts of this exercise, realise that most mothers are to worried to exercise when they are pregnant and Lina still feels confident enough to push her body to extremes without putting the baby at risk. Forget about tecnique and think about the stamina. love you sis. Your little bro

by not choosing a different stance you are not working some muscles which are used in the real world not exercise classes this can discourage an injury out side of a fitness class

totally agree im afraid, stance is imperative whether boxing or boxercise. As a boxercise instructor myself if andy wake saw anyone in training with out the correct stance then we would not be instructors.

@logikbro1

nice language! if you don't like criticism, probably better not to show such bad technique on you tube!

pregnant or not, basic technique should be applied to avoid injury. foot stance should be 1 behind the other to aid balance and avoid over-reaching, which she is clearly doing. pads are too far apart, and her punches should be shorter and neater, not wild and swinging. exercise while pregnant should be low-impact, would be better for her to concentrate on techinque, rather than power - not good for mother or baby. my boxercise teacher would have a fit if he saw this technique!

She has a good reach

i fight professionally in several martial arts and some of these comments are so foolish a pregnant woman would not use the same technique as a amateur boxer getting into the ring, if a woman feels she wants to box to keep fit when pregnant then who are some of these people to say its a waste of money?

If I were to suggest that you could get into a gym and work out without having learned proper technique I would be dumped on by all the "certified" fitness trainers. why is it different for people teaching boxercise? mattsterontoast makes several good points, I understand that she is not a competitor but proper technique is SAFE technique.

Wow, so.... are you saying logikbro1 that you have actually done a Boxercise training course? The thing is:

1. "Flailing arms about with no technique" is the number one cause of rotator cuff and trapezius injury. The trainer's top priority should be to not encourage their client to become injured (if only to avoid being sued for negligence!). 2. If your client gets injured, he/she will not be able to train and will therefore neither "get toned" or "lose body fat". Hope this helps.
