I was wondering if any of you think this would be ok...

I play a long list of amusic and for each song, I choose a random exercise and stick with that for the whole song..

you know it could be like

song 1 - small arm circles
song 2- big arm circles
song 3- cat and cow yoga poses
song 4 - sit ups
song 5 - push ups
song 6- round house kick
song 7- air punching
song 8- punching bag

I do this 2- 3 times a wekk and it would change every day ?

You can do that kind of like a circuit but you should put in some different exercises as the ones that you have to me are slightly boring and I would get fed up.

Things such as small arm circles and yogo posses dont really improve your fitness all that much and as this is what you have stated in your post I figure that you basically want to improve your cv system.

In order to do that you should try something like this

Song 1-Bag Punching all variations work on combinations

Rest 30 secs

Song 2-Skipping try different footwork

Rest 30secs

Song 3-Bag again all kicking, kick combinations

Rest 30

Song 4-Skipping

etc etc This will improve your fitness no end and of course you can add some other exercises in instead such as running and then sprinting accoring to different parts of the song or whatever. I do really like your song idea though I think I may try it.

Be aware how long each song lasts. You want to make sure things fit because you could end up with circling your arms for 3 mins and then bag work for 7 mins..

Jay's suggestions are good.

The nice thing about solo training is that you can pretty much do whatever you want. Jay has some good suggestions, but you can also use your schedule and bounce around every other day or something to change it up, and not get bored.

and i personally have no problem having bag work for 7 minutes XD I've done longer. I love bag work actually >.>
