Try This 20-Minute Cardio Kickboxing Workout

In last month’s snowed-in cardio workout, you were challenged to move to the beat of the music and groove. This month’s workout is similar. For each song, you’ll alternate between move 1 and move 2 for the duration of the track. (Check out the above video for a quick breakdown of the exercises.) Switch on and off at your own pace—just make sure you keep moving.

Fire up the playlist below, then get going.

• Move 1: Do four jump ropes and two jumping jacks for at least eight rounds, then switch to move 2
• Move 2: Do at least 16 squats before returning to move 1.

Song 2: “Perm,” by Bruno Mars
