Moxie is a striking workout with attitude to spare - the old-school word for nerve, grit and the willingness to swing first. Lunge punches open the show, three rounds of ten punches keep the pressure on, and knee-to-elbows and squat hold side bends fill the space between with core work that never lets you fully stand down.

The structure is a boxer's logic applied to bodyweight training. The opening lunge punches are the hardest coordination task of the session - striking while dropping into a lunge forces your upper and lower body to work on separate assignments simultaneously - so they come first, while you are sharp. From there, punch blocks alternate with core exercises that feed directly back into punching power: knee-to-elbows train the hip-to-shoulder connection every good strike travels through, and squat hold side bends load the obliques while your legs burn in a sustained sumo squat. Every punch block arrives with your midsection slightly more tired, which is exactly how you build strikes that hold up past the first round.

Time the lunge punches so fist and front foot land together - that synchronization is the entire skill. Rotate from the hips on every punch and bring the hand back to your chin between reps. In the side bends, stay low in the squat and bend strictly sideways rather than leaning forward; the obliques only get the work if your depth does not bail out.

Ten punches, then ten more, then ten more. Moxie is not one bold move - it is refusing to stop making them.

Make it Harder: Sink the squat hold deeper and speed up every punch block.

Make it Easier: Perform the lunge punches as stationary punches in a high lunge stance.
