Heavy Bag Workout Ready For the Jersey Shore!? How 'bout Body Shots.
http://www.ckotrainer.com
http://www.facebook.com/michael.andreulaHey guys, Mike Andreula here for Dynamic Intensity, ckotrainer.com and basically we're in here in the home, in the birth center, in the Bethlehem of kickboxing, ClubKO Kickboxing, Hoboken, New Jersey. It's a kick boxing bonanza. We're going to start class in a minute but we did have a request, somebody emailed and said, 'Mike, how about doing body shot drills? What can we do about body shots and uppercuts?' Fantastic. And if you've seen any prior videos, you realize it's all about changing up little, tiny principles and changing up levels, speeds and timing.

So for your uppercuts and your body shots, and on your bag truly you can only throw uppercut body shots, otherwise you're going to skin your hands, you have to throw your uppercuts straight in the air. So we're going to throw an uppercut hook combination and what we want to do is line up in front of the bag, hips are straight. I like a forward stance. If you're boxing, you might do something different. Tae Kwon Do, you might do something different. Try it out. It's the best stance in my opinion.

Weight's on the balls of your feet, I feel my core, my abs, my shoulders, triceps, everything's tight. I'm going to throw a left uppercut, a lead uppercut. I'm going to drop the body weight down, right? Not going to bring the hand down and then throw it. I'm going to drop the entire body down. My butt, hamstrings, quads, calves are all tight and getting ready to explode. We're storing up energy and then we're going to light the match. We're going to push through the ball of our foot. It's going to send a shockwave, kinetic link, I know everybody's probably seen that by now.

Send the shock wave of energy up through the body and we're going to release it through the hand. Uppercut, right? So explode and uppercut. What we want to do is follow it up with a hook. So when we throw combinations, priority is given to the second strike if you're throwing them fast. We're going to drop down, the left uppercut and look where we're at. Perfect for a right hook, 'cause if we're just going to throw a right hook, we would end up here anyway.

So what we want to do is drop the body weight down, crouch down, store up all that power and energy in your lower body, then light the match, explode up, uppercut. We're right here, look at this: hook. Say we want to do rear uppercut lead hook. Same thing, we're going to drop it. All the body weight, all that energy's getting stored up. Don't waste it, store it up and then light the match. Explode through it, right uppercut, left hook. You're right there.

I'll show you off the bag. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I know you like the boom boom sound effects 'cause that really makes it. Any time you're hitting, you want to say boom, boom, pow.

This is Mike Andreula, Dynamic Intensity, ckotrainer.com. E-mail me, mike@clubkogyms. I'm making it happen for you. I'm going to make sure you're in the best shape of your entire life in the next three months. How about that? Suck it, Jillian Michaels
