JASON WARREN: Hi! My name is Jason Warren. I'm a kickboxing instructor here in Miami Shores at Chi Martial Arts. In this clip we're going to talk about different exercises that you can do with kickboxing and how it affects your breathing and your conditioning. So I'm going to show a real basic drill on the heavy bag just to see how it will increase your cardiorespiratory. First you can start out with punching, then you can incorporate kicks, then you can add your knees then you can go back to punching, slow it down, work on technique, push kicks and you can see it really get your heart rate up because you're doing that for three minutes. So one of the things you have to be able to do is regulate your air. So a lot of times in kickboxing we have the drills on the heavy bag, we also have conditioning drills, jump rope, plyometrics and a lot of times we do this for about three minutes. So you can see how I'm breathing already and that was only about 30, 35 seconds.
