Alright, now we're going to go ahead and start with our warm up. We haven't stretched yet, but we want to get our body our blood flowing in our body before we stretch out our muscles. Well first off I want you to just shake your hands. We're going to shake them and loosen up those wrists. Alright, then we're going to move one foot to loosen up those ankles and the other one. Alright and what we're going to do is start off with our basic punches. Alright so I want you to go ahead and bob. Just kind of move from one foot to the other; back and forth, back and forth, kind of just loosening up you don't want to go to much. Just something light. What you're going to do is your going to take your punch and you're going to just jab; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. While still moving you're going to switch sides. Going to do front jab again; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Back over. Alright we're going to go ahead and add a back jab. You're going to do front back alright. We're going to do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Then we're going to switch. You can feel your legs burning a little bit, just stay light on your feet. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We're going to switch you're going to move back and forth. What we're going to do is kind of move back and forth and then out you're going to come up. What we're going to is we're going to do upper cut. What I want you to do is make sure you twist your foot. You're going to turn your whole foot putting your body into the motion. Make sure you're nice and light, but your using your arm kind of as a hammer and it's going with your body. Here we go; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Alright, then just go ahead and loosen that up again.
