This upper body routine weaves cardio kickboxing intervals in between strength sets for a workout that challenges muscle and endurance.

Great workout to start a week right 🙂
I loved every single bit of this work out. I think it’s my all time favorite so far! I had a really shitty day and this helped me to focus and make space for positive thinking. Thank you guys so much!
Chiara Franchini hope your day got better!
Great kickboxing work out! I couldn’t believe that this was a 45 min workout! It was so engaging that I lost track of time.
i have actually melted after this
Edit: it’s the day after i did this and my arms are 100% sore, will definitely do this again
I LOVE your kickboxing workouts! This one was great! (I’m a beginner, but somehow I love the kickboxing videos) Also, I love seeing you make mistakes and mess up throughout the routine. <3 Makes me feel better about myself, and helps me to realize that even though you are super in shape, nobody is perfect! <3 🙂 Thanks Kelli!
loved the workout and the fact that you balance both lead sides in the kickboxing element. May I suggest less standing “square” on as for people also looking to train martial arts that can be a weak posture and it’s a good idea to train out of it rather than into it? Loved it lots otherwise XD
Very effective!! Feel like a beast after this. I was planning to run too but I think I’ll just walk the dogs around the block haha. I’d also love to see a no equipment variation of this where you do the kickboxing with no equip upper body like a vid you did a few years ago.
You are so amazing!!!!!!!!!
Just what i needed!! Thank you guys!
Yes love kickboxing workouts please more 🙂 and the mesh of upper body with it too 😀
what a great workout. it had me really sweating. I have a question, can these workouts substitute for a gym? i prefer working out in the privacy of my home and i love your videos, but would i get the desired results as that of going to a gym?
amanda narinesingh yes absolutely! Just invest in good pair of dumbells recommeded light and heavy weights. You are all good to workout.
We haven’t even had gym memberships for over 5 years now!
I got in the best shape of my life by using these workouts! I started when I was like 15 and never stopped. Plus Kelli and Daniel are so inspiring. I went through many years of disordered exercise and ate so little I got too thin, and Kelli has been through similar things. Because of that, she has videos that talk about how to be gentle with yourself, respect your body while still pushing yourself. Instead of saying “you can do more!”, “don’t stop!” like in other workout videos and companies, when some people like me, take those comments literally and push “too” hard where it becomes dangerous; Kelli and Daniel say things like “push yourself where you are challenging yourself, but listen to your body!” “Every day is different, just challenge yourself and don’t get disappointed with yourself if it’s not your best day.” “You showed up and did SOMETHING to improve, that’s a win.” You not only have two at home personal trainers, but two smart motivators as well. Ditch the gym, get good weight sets (dumbbells, kettlebells, etc.) and enjoy the healthy lifestyle that comes with it! Just my opinion obviously! 🙂
I tried the gym. Always starting and stopping. But I get so confused when people try to bombard you with their version of what you should be doing. And I always end up right here. So I would invest in some weights. I feel much more motivated when it’s me and I don’t have other people in my ears trying to tell what to do.
I can honestly say that these workouts will get you as fit as you’ll ever need to be. Plus we don’t all have the time to be slaving away in a gym. If you would like some additional tips, check this out: https://fastlanefitness_14db.gr8.com/
Really like your workouts, but there’s one little thing missing in these videos….music. Yes, I can play music in background but I would like to hear what music are you guyz listening while exercising. It would be nice and new addition to your already great work. Thank you
Shinobi I think the majority of our audience would actually be upset if we added music; a lot of people name it as one of the bonuses of our workouts! If we add music, you’d be stuck with the same songs every time you wanted to use one of our videos, plus everyone likes something different. Pop open a second window & a free streaming device & you’re set, with whatever music motivates YOU the most.
This is a great workout! I tend to shy away from kickboxing, but did it, and felt super uncoordinated. So, I guess I need more of it! Liked the format a lot, cardio mixed with strength. Very nice. Thanks, Kelli.
I found your videos last week .I love them for many reasons….Lots of variety! Not so hard that you hate it,but still a good workout.I love that you don’t have music ( usually the music to workouts annoys me and makes it harder to workout). I love that you don’t get all giddy and act like working out is the most fun you could possibly have ( also annoys me in most other videos).I mean great for the people who truly love to work out but honestly it is hard for a lot of us and I don’t typically smile as I’m working out.Now when it’s over that’s a different story.I love that you explain things well.I love the stretches and cool downs.They are very relaxing and I have not been overly sore even though I haven’t worked out in months.I like that you also explain nutrition,eating natural foods and how to truly take care of your health.And I love that you are REAL! Thanks so much for what you are doing! I’ve been telling all of my friends to check out your videos.They’re awesome!!!
wen u first start working out music can do that lol but later it motivates u good luck on your journey
bonsuir I have problem with the workout in winter!
I can’t be active or I don’t have the energy and the push practise sports because of this cold weather … in the summer i was workout about 6 days a week but now 0.0
really i don’t have the push to do the first step
how can i break up of this cold weather??
One idea is to start small. Commit to just 5 minutes of movement. If you feel good after, go for another 5, but if you don’t want to do more, it’s ok. Commit to another 5 the next day, but increase as soon as you can. Over time, your body will remember how good it feels to be in motion and you’ll have more energy. Hope that helps.
A friend shared you guys channel with me. I’m so glad she did!! I have so enjoyed working out with yall 5-6 times a week now! This is my favorite arm workout so far! I love the blend of cardio and weight lifting! I was drenched with sweat after this! Those burnout push-ups KILLED! Thanks Kelli!
