Debuted the new kickbox music CD last night. It was really fun, but there are a few songs I will probably switch out and some choreography I will probably change before it's finalized. Here is what I used:
------------------------------
1. Warmup - Country Grammar/Sweet Home Alabama mashup (sorry - can't find an iTunes link for this one - send me a link if you have seen it there and I will post it.)
2. Punches - ![Dor Dekel - Boys of Freedom - EP - Boys of Freedom (feat. Arista) [Mike Rizzo Global Radio Edit]](http://ax.itunes.apple.com/images/badgeitunes61x15dark.gif)
"Boys of Freedom" by Dor Dekel (techno | 3:16)
3. Speed/Jump rope - "Its Raining Men" by The Weather Girls (disco | 5:27)
4. Kicks - "Check Yes Juliet" by We the Kings (Alternative | 3:40)
5. Speedbag/Jacks - "Reach Out" by Hilary Duff (Dance | 4:14)
6 - 8. Contact work - to be posted later
9. Pushups - "I like to Move It" by Reel 2 Reel feat. the Mad Stuntman (Pop | 3:43)
10. Uppercuts - "I'm Your Man" by Wham (Pop | 4:00)
11. Stability/Balance - "Blame it on the Boogie" by Michael Jackson (Pop | 3:30)
12. Cooldown/Stretch - "Stay" by Sugarland (Country | 4:44)

More information about my kickbox outline > (this is not the most thorough information - it's from early in the development of this class - I promise a more thorough write up soon)
so - about this playlist - I really liked #2, #3, and #4 - they worked really well. I will post choreography on those soon.
I liked using "I like to Move It" for the pushups - it's really popular and people respond to it. I am not convinced it was a good pushup song - might try it a few times before I write that one out. But that song will definitely be used somewhere at some time - it's a classic.
Loved using "I'm Your Man" but I don't think Wham really screams kickboxing. May find another spot for this song.
"Stay" by Sugarland - absolutely beautiful song. Loved ending class with this. I used to use really inspirational songs like "Proud" from the Biggest Loser, and I LOVED doing that. But those types of songs are hard to find (few and far between.) So if I change "Stay" it will be because I find an inspiration - suggestions?? Leave me a comment.
