CoffeyFit RAW January 2023 Workouts . Kelly released two new RAW workouts for the APP. The workout feature Kelly and Kaitlyn. RAW Stepboxing Drills clocks in at 32:15.   In StepBoxing Drills you are working each move for 45 seconds.  There are two rounds and 12 exercises.  You repeat the 12 exercises in the second round. Kelly and Kaitlyn use a light pair of weights and a step. Their steps were pretty high. I believe they each had 3 risers. RAW Hi/Low Sculpt is a 30 minute workout. The workout uses one dumbbell. The basic pattern of this workout is that you perform a sculpting move with the right lead. Then you repeat that move leading left.  This is followed by a "cardio" burst that can be high impact or low impact. Kaitlyn is doing the high impact moves and Kelly the low impact moves. There are four groupings of this pattern which are repeated for a second round.
