Coach Nicole has created a fun and effective kickboxing workout that will elevate your heart rate to burn calories and fat. This video will lead you through a short warm up, cardio workout, cool down and stretching routine in about 10 minutes, making it easy to fit into your day. Free of complex choreography, this workout is appropriate for people of many different fitness levels and abilities.
  • Length: 10 minutes
  • Equipment: None
  • Type of Workout: Cardio (aerobic) & flexibility
  • Fitness Level: Beginner to Advanced
  • Impact: Medium-impact
  • Safety Precautions: Wear proper footwear. Exercise at your own intensity level, using tips provided to lower your intensity if necessary. Only complete as much of the video as you can, taking a break to recover (by marching) when necessary. Never stop abruptly--if you get tired, try to stay moving, even if you're just walking in place. As you progress, try to finish the entire video or to repeat the video several times.
  • Extra Tip: Keep your movements big, but controlled! The deeper you squat, higher you kick, and quicker you move, the harder you'll be working.
  • BUY IT! SparkPeople's Cardio Blast DVD features a new and improved version of this workout, plus 5 additional 10-minute cardio routines!

  • Hey, thanks a lot for this workout! It's as if you were in my head. Recently thought about how out of the few dvds I have, I only do the cardio/kick boxing now, as I enjoy it the most. Did a Billy Blanks Tae Bo workout last night. Just did this workout with you and it was great! I had just put on my shorts and t-shirt in hopes that I could go for a nice long walk around 6 pm and thought I'd check my email. We've been getting lots of rain here in SC and as I type it has just started pouring, thunder and all. So much for my walk, I guess. I'll be doing this work-out again this evening. I'm going to check out some more of your workouts. Thanks again! - 6/18/2013 4:52:54 PM
  • Looks like a great workout but I doubt that it will burn 100 calories in 10 minutes. That number seems extremely high to me. Maybe about 50 calories. I have run at 5mph and burned less than that. - 6/18/2013 9:21:13 AM
  • Well...this old gal probably could record and upload to YouTube and go viral in minutes...for a good laugh. I am 70 pounds overweight and terrible out of shape. I managed to do maybe 2 minutes of this workout...LOL But tis okay, tomorrow I'll push myself for 3 minutes...I will do this daily for long as it takes to get the 10 minutes in. And hopefully keep doing it daily after that. I'm a great watcher of workout videos...time I jump in and do them! Thanks Coach Nicole. - 6/18/2013 6:47:50 AM

  • did it 2x today, jumping jacks weren't so bad today - 6/11/2013 12:26:46 PM
  • I was able to do 15-18 secs of jacks and half the transition jacks between the front kick exercise. Still not able to do the scissors yet. But I am going to call this progress and pat myself on the back! Keep up the good work everybody. - 6/11/2013 2:08:48 AM
  • I was able to do the full jumping jacks for about 5-10 secs but not the scissors yet. I would call this progress! - 6/8/2013 6:42:47 AM

  • hate the jumping jacks and scissors, would like to see videos with one foot on the floor at all times, this is hard on my back, hips and knees and I'm 140 lbs. - 6/4/2013 11:58:01 AM
  • No where near doing 30 secs of full jumping jacks or scissors but working my way towards it! Keep up the good work everybody :) - 6/4/2013 1:30:10 AM
  • I can't believe how out of shape I am. This kicked by butt and to think I used to 90min a few times a week! - 6/3/2013 9:12:16 PM
