Video Transcript

"My name is Chemin Alldredge. I'm a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I'm here with Expert Village, and today we'll be going over beginner cardio kickboxing. All right, now that our heart rate is up, we could use this bag. We're going to do some, some workouts doing some abs and some upper body with some push ups. This bag is a great bag to use, but if you can, just because we're doing beginner cardio, we like to use the, the, our little dragon bag. What we want to do is, I want you guys to walk it out. You're going to just do front kicks. Walk it out. Get your heart rate down. Keep your guards up. Always make sure your guards are up. After we do that, we want to slowly walk it out. And what we're going to do first is we're going to work on push ups. This bag is great to use because it's low but it's going to give you a little bit of height. Notice I still have my gloves on so I can still move my fingers. So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to come down and I'm going to put my legs right on there and I'm going to do a set of five. And you're just going to come all the way down making sure your back is straight, bending those arms. Make sure to breath. Do not forget to breath. Four and five. Then you're going to come back up. You can do three sets of five or however, and then just keep building up your momentum. A great, another part to do with this bag, we're going to push it over just a little bit more, and for crunches. You can put your legs up and do your crunches. Do slight crunches or what we're going to do is, we're going to wrap our legs around the bag. We're going to come up and we're going to punch. Notice, I still have my gloves on. Then you're going to come up, two, three, four, five. Do not forget to breath. You always want to make sure that you keep your stomach nice and tight so that you're getting that workout there. If you're doing, coming up and doing crunches around the bag, you want to push up, making sure you bring your shoulders up and not your head so you don't strain your neck muscles. You want to bring your shoulders all the way up. Two, three, four, five. And those are your abs."
