High intensity interval kicking training

I recently got tendentious in both my arms from carrying around Deor and was given doctor’s orders to rest up using my arms for any kind of exercise. That made the prospect of going to the gym a bit boring. I really wanted to use the heavy bag still so I created a new program for myself which I plugged into Gymboss app on ios. The aim is to do as many of each kick or combo as possible in each 30 second timeframe. You then get 20 seconds rest in between which is long enough to throw up if you need to! The lactic acid build up is pretty severe so please only do this if you feel really comfortable doing so. If your body can’t cope, then just stop!
