Looking To Amp Up Your Workouts at Home?

Working out at home can sometimes be, well, let's face it-boring! There are times when we are practicing our Kata, Combinations or basics and we feel listless. With that in mind, this week I am including a special workout for you that you can do at home. This workout comes from the Golden State Martial Arts White to Black Belt Student Manual. No special equipment is needed just your determination to be your best!

If there are any kicks that you don't have yet, just substitute them with kicks you do have. Remember, when working out be SMART. If the numbers are too high-adjust them, if you feel like you need to slow down do it. The numbers given in the workout are just a guideline, not a requirement. Adjust them to fit your fitness level. Good Luck and have fun!
