How to Choreograph a Kung Fu Cardio Workout Routine

Kung fu is a respected and recognized martial art across the world. Cardio moves are fun by themselves, but incorporating them with kung fu moves combined with music and a fun atmosphere can give a considerable edge to any work out. This could be offered in a video form for exercise seekers.

• Go through what your competitors are offering. This offers you an edge to produce a fresh routine by avoiding similar things.


• Make sure that your routine is fresh, fun and original. There are websites to find these recordings, such as Kung Fu Aerobics.


• Work with a kung fu professional so that you can find the best moves to incorporate into aerobic steps while playing out different parts of the routine.


• Incorporate various kicks, punches and related moves in order to work on the cardio component.


• Incorporate moves that are simple enough for an average person to perform.


• Choose the music that you will be using. It is important to do this in the earlier stages of production and design, since it will help you to decide placement of steps. It also facilitates putting together the transition steps and ensures the right flow of the routine.


• Pick out music that is lively and upbeat with rhythmic variations to give participants something fun to move their bodies to.


• Test the routine with a small group first to ensure its workability and ease. The focus must primarily be on the work out to get the heart rate up and not provide instruction in mastering martial arts since it could be counterproductive.
