Curtsy cross lunges target inner/outer thigh and glutes simultaneously — more muscle mass directly reduces stiffness and improves mood and energy.
Key takeaways
Punch target height activates anterior deltoid, not just arms
Punch target height activates anterior deltoid, not just arms
- Aiming punches slightly above nose height (opponent's eyebrows) recruits the anterior deltoid cap, adding shoulder strength work.
- Bracing by pulling ribs in on every exhale keeps the midsection tight throughout the movement.
Heel-of-hand contact on knee edges during marching = standing ab work
Heel-of-hand contact on knee edges during marching = standing ab work
- Pressing the heel of the hand against the outer kneecap edge at hip height creates timed compression and forces abs to contract as knee drives in.
- Arms held at shoulder height for the full minute add independent shoulder endurance load.
