Famous for her slender and well-toned physique, Hailey Bieber, being a model, is often spotted heading to her workout sessions. Whether it’s joining bestie Kendall Jenner for pilates or hitting the gym solo, she’s dedicated to maintaining her fitness.

The real curiosity, however, centers around the secret behind sculpting her abs and achieving those toned arms.

This is where boxing comes into play. Boxing has become exceptionally trendy among celebrities, and even Dua Lipa is on board with the craze.

It was revealed that the founder of Rhode actively participates in Rumble Boxing classes in Hollywood.

Zdenko Martin, owner, director and master trainer at Bondi Beach Rumble Boxing venue, shared insights into this workout regimen Hailey Bieber swears by.

Elle broke down the full workout routine, but some exercises you can do at your own convenience were the combat cycle, side lunge, and jab cross.

Combat Cycle

The combat cycle, a dynamic and intensive boxing workout, stands as a formidable ally in achieving toned abs and arms. This high-energy exercise regimen combines the cardiovascular benefits of cycling with the muscle-engaging movements of boxing. As participants engage in a series of punches, jabs, and defensive maneuvers, the core muscles, including the abs, are continuously activated for stability and balance.

“A two-part mix of old- and new-school moves to get a complete “hit” on your core. A. Laying on the ground, perform four bicycle crunches. B. Sit up, balancing on your tailbone like a Russian Twist. Instead of twisting, throw four jabs and crosses straight ahead making sure your core is tight, your hands are extended straight out, and your shoulders are moving with the punch. C. Lay back down and repeat the four bicycle, four balancing punch circuit for 60 seconds.”

Side Lunge

In a boxing context, adding punches or incorporating hand weights intensifies the arm workout, targeting the biceps, triceps, and shoulders. The Side Lunge in a boxing routine thus proves to be a multifaceted exercise, not only strengthening the legs but also sculpting the abdominal and arm muscles, making it a valuable component for individuals seeking a comprehensive and efficient workout that addresses various muscle groups simultaneously.

“Taking that lunge before and changing the direction in which we lunge is going to give us a different hit on those muscle groups. A. Get in the same starting position as the lunge, but instead of stepping forward, keep one leg straight and step with the other leg to the side, sinking your hips down and slightly back while maintaining good posture throughout the movement. Make sure not to put too much pressure on your knee and keep it over your heel as much as possible as you shift your hips down and back in the side lunge. B. Explode off that leg and return to an upright position. C. Repeat on the other leg and continue to alternate for 60 seconds.”

Jab Cross

The Jab Cross, a fundamental combination in boxing, serves as a potent tool for toning both abs and arms while delivering an intense cardiovascular workout. This one-two punch involves a quick jab followed by a powerful cross, engaging the muscles of the arms, shoulders, and chest.

“Get into your boxer stance: Relax your shoulders and pick your hands up to your face, keeping your elbows tight to your ribs. Step back with your dominant foot right below your dominant side shoulder. Bend your knees and feel the weight going to your toes. The jab: The pawn in the Chess match of boxing, the jab is the most important punch in all of boxing. A. Take your front hand (nondominant hand) and using your hips, your shoulders, your legs, your core, and your breath, you’re going to extend that hand straight out towards your target. B. Bring that hand back to your face to complete the jab. The cross: The cross has the same principle as the jab, except this is going to be a straight-ahead punch with your back (dominant) hand. A. Making sure your front hand is up to your face. Turn your hips by squishing a bug with your back foot, which will allow you to rip your back shoulder forward toward the target and extend your arm. Same as the jab, as that arm is extending make sure you’re turning that hand over and keeping your chin down and eyes on your target. Alternate between throwing jabs and crosses for 60 seconds for a nice little condition hit!”
