Boxing Workout and First Sample Core Routine

Yesterday morning Mike and I did a boxing workout. It was tough!! You would think 1 minute rounds with 1 minute rests would be really easy. It's not! You go so all out in the rounds, more than you could in a 2 or 3 minute round so it's really intense, every punch is a power punch and you don't break between combos, I was gasping for air in between the rounds and my legs felt like jelly in the later rounds! Fun stuff!

10 x 1 minute rounds/1 minute rest

We then did a circuit, 20 seconds on each station then 1 minute rest before repeating the circuit.

• Burpees
• Shrugs (10kg in each hand)
• Push-ups
• Jumping Jacks
• Upright Rows (10kg barbell)
• High Knee Dumbell Press
• Chair Dips
• Lunges
• Mountain Climbers
• Dumbell Punches
• Leg Raises
• Clean and Push Press (10kg barbell)
• V-ups

I was so sore all evening after this workout, way sorer than I felt I should be given the amount of work! (circuit included 15 push-ups)

Don't forget to sign up to the core challenge here. Here's my first sample routine.

• Leg raises
  
• Crunches
  
• Sit-ups with a twist
• Alternate knee to elbow

Run through the circuit 3-5 times, take some rest between the circuits if needed. Finish the workout with a max plank, don't worry if it's nowhere near your fresh max plank time, my max planks at the end of core routines tend to be a lot less than if I were fresh.
