Squat Front Kicks: Integrate front kicks into your squats for a powerful, full-leg workout.
Ninja Jumps: For the advanced, leap from a squatting position to your feet, or opt for the modification of kneeling up/downs or using a dumbbell to aid in the push-off.
Curtsey Lunge: Add a cross-body lunge to your routine, targeting the glutes and inner thighs.
Speed Punches on Bag: Conclude with rapid punches on a bag, enhancing cardiovascular fitness and upper body endurance.
