Boxing Workout.

boxing glovesMy training over the last couple of weeks has gravitated over to boxing type training. I now have a training partner and both of us have boxed in the past, we’ll usually warm up with some jump rope then we work for 12 two minute rounds with 30 seconds rest between round. One of us will hit the bag for one round of straight punches, the next round will be hooks to the head, the next hooks to the body, the next combinations and so on… while the other does bodyweight exercises. We’ll then do 12 two minute rounds with the focus pads each alternating between gloves and pads. We usually finish up with 3 two minute rounds of light sparring. We’ve been training six days a week with one day off. One day will be training of the type I’ve described above, the next will be a kettlebell workout, the third probaby a bodyweight workout that includes shadow boxing and the fourth day we’ll mix it up to include all of the above.

This evening I ran to the football pitch and using my gymboss timer did a tabata burpee workout and it wiped me out, I felt like I was going to die, I don’t know wether it was the heat or because I hadn’t eaten much but the workout totaled me, this workout is hardcore! 8 x 20 seconds of burpees with 10 seconds rest in between. I did this 4 times in total with short rests for a drink.

Sledgehammer, kettlebell and bodyweight workout.

July 15, 2010

You don’t always need to use traditional exercise equipment and training routines in your workout program, as there are many great “alternative” training methods. One of my favourite “alternative” workout tools is the sledgehammer, although this is the first time in ages that I’ve used it. Using my 14lb sledgehammer and 20kg kettlebell after a [...]
