    Overview

    Today is Day 4 in our 5 Day Workout Challenge which means this is your second to last workout of this plan and the last time we will directly target the upper body. That means that you need to give it all you have to really work that upper body to get the most strength gain and calorie burn from this challenge. Day 5 will be focused on legs again so even if your upper body is really sore from today's workout you will be fine for tomorrow.



    While going through today's workout you will find that your body will try to "cheat" by relaxing during the cardio kickboxing portion of each group. It is very important to continue to watch your form and push yourself with each punch and kick. If you just go though the motions you will easily fall to the lower end of the calorie burn for this routine and possibly even lower. It takes a decent amount of willpower to keep swing hard at nothing but if you can keep focused you can easily burn an incredibly high number of calories not to mention challenge your cardiovascular and muscle endurance.

    Workout Structure:
    Length: 49 Minutes
    Strategy: Upper Body Strength and Cardio Kickboxing Blend
    Equipment: No Equipment Needed (optional weight for one exercise)
    Calories Burned: 272-561

    Routine: After starting with a quick warm up cardio section we move into the cardio kickboxing and upper body bodyweight strength routine. This is comprised of 7 groups of two exercises each. One exercise is an upper body focused body weight exercise and the other is a cardio kickboxing combination. Each will be done twice for 45 seconds with 15 seconds rest in an ABAB pattern. Once done with all 7 groups we will move onto a free form yoga inspired power stretch.
