Boxing Workout

July 12, 2017 By wpadmin 2 Comments

I’ve started boxing again, and am loving it. I’d forgotten how great it makes me feel. As any regular reader would know, the past year as been rudely interrupted a few times by injury.  The broken arm, almost a year ago now, brought regular boxing sessions to a halt.

It’s only in the past few weeks, that my arm has felt strong enough to hit the bag again. Now that I have my home gym, I don’t go to classes anymore, but have a boxing bag in the gym so can punch away at my own pace and to routines of my choice. How fast and hard I punch the bag, tends to depend on what’s happening in my life at the time.

I’ve been using the routine in the video below to get started again. It’s a good work out and not at all complicated. I really detest fancy moves. I’d much prefer hard, fast and simple.

Here’s a routine that I’ve also been using based on the above video, with a few variations and cardio added in. Done non-stop with intensity it’s a great workout.

10 jabs and 10 crosses – 3 sets

20 jab crosses and 20 step-ups – 3 sets

20 Hooks (alternate arms) and 20 step ups – 3 sets

    thanks for posting that video, missed my boxing sessions from Sunbury, but used mitts and gloves, have a bag here, but as she said knowing how to use it effectively is another thing!
