What the Workout Includes
Rick’s workout can be described simply as a mix of walk steps, boxing moves, and standing ab exercises done briskly. Each uppercut or side jab exercise has the power to engage your abs and keep your body in constant movement. In this video, there’s an on-screen step meter. It will keep you updated on your progress so you can challenge yourself to stick with the rhythm.
The session starts immediately — no talking, no long introduction. Rick’s instructions are easily understandable, motivating, and unambiguous, and his training video is certainly the best selection for those who are beginners to fitness and/or those who prefer it simple and clear.
My Favorite Benefits After Trying It
- Core Engagement: A lot of times in my workouts, I found myself doing standing crunches and punches that provoked a gut reaction I have never experienced doing very little use of my obliques and lower abs. Cool thing about it is that it’s the best standing core burn — no crunches or planks needed.
- Total-Body Cardio: In only 15 minutes, I was able to log 0.8 miles via my Apple Watch without leaving the house. That is almost 2,000 steps of activity while at the same time toning your arms and abs.
- Perfect for Active Recovery: I found my heart rate below 99 bpm, which is a perfect range if you want to recover actively while doing an exercise that also challenges your endurance. It’s not too strenuous, yet it works so well, especially after such a tough and tiring day of training.
- Uplifting and Easy to Follow: Ecstatic, and with a big smile, I was full of energy when we finished. Rick’s good humor is contagious and his relaxed approach makes it feel like a cakewalk, no matter your coordination level, trust me.
What You’ll Need (Optional)
- A yoga mat for comfort
- A pair of indoor shoes or just socks
- A fitness tracker to monitor steps or heart rate (optional)
If you are looking for a workout that makes you feel great without the need for any fancy gear or too much of your time, this indoor boxing walk workout might be the right choice for you. It is perfect for a busy morning, a midday energy slump, or an evening wind-down — and an ideal solution if you want to keep your fitness levels up without getting tired.
Similar to the previous paragraph workout, this one is also suitable if you are just coming off a rather intense weight session. The low impact will have no negative effect but the rewards will be numerous. 15 minutes of boxing is the real deal, right?
Take a leap and see how it feels — no need to leave your living room.
