This 25-Minute Lower-Body Boxing Workout Builds Strong Legs With No Equipment

After a day of meetings, errands or chores, your workout may be your only time to focus on you with no distractions.

This 25-minute lower-body boxing workout video, led by Justin Blackwell, master coach at Los Angeles-based fitness studio BoxUnion, is the perfect opportunity to home in on your movement, breath and heart rate, not your daily to-do list.

"Nothing outside of this space matters right now," Blackwell says. "This is where we start to get into our zone. This is where we level up a little bit."

Before you put your phone on Do Not Disturb and get into the zone, free up a few feet of space and throw on a stable pair of sneakers.

You won't need any equipment for this quick lower-body boxing session — except maybe a bottle of water. Blackwell will take you through multiple combinations of the following punches, mixed with some lower-body exercises.

Follow along with his instructions, and if you get lost or want to take a break, don't worry, he says. "Just hop back in as soon as you're ready."

• ​Boxer Bounce:​ Get loose and find the beat of the music, focusing on your breathing.
• ​Jump Rope:​​ Start incorporating your arms by swinging an imaginary jump rope.
• ​​Jumping Jacks:​​ Make this a big movement, Blackwell says, to warm up all over.
• ​Jab (1):​ Push through your back foot and punch straight out with your front arm, chin down, eyes up.
• ​Cross (2):​ Rotate your shoulders as you punch across your body.
• ​Front Hook (3):​ Drop your weight to your back foot and rotate off of your front foot.
• ​Rear Hook (4):​ This is your dominant hook. Keep your punches sharp and your elbow following your hand.
• ​Front Uppercut (5):​ Lift your rear arm up to protect yourself as you throw your front uppercut.
• ​Rear Uppercut (6):​ Keep your shoulders loose and your hips moving.
