Does anyone have good ideas for a boxing circuit for conditioning just want to mix my training up a bit. and was wondering if any one would have good circuit i could use. thanks
in a circuit the sky is the limit, you can put pretty much anything into a circuit try and test, if you find it works use it a good one is a weights circuit, one station upper body next station lower body, then upper , lower and so on, it really gets the heart going as the heart is pumping blood to upper body then all the way down to your legs then back to upper body its called peripheral heart flow/or peripheral heart action
use anything you want mate, depending on your level of fitness i cant say what is good and bad, if your starting off or a novice keep it simple press ups, shadow boxing sit ups and free leg squating if your more advanced circuits can include pyo's and harder things like burpees and stuff
i was thinking something on the lines of this would do. (all for 30seconds then 10 seconds rest.) press ups bodyweight squats clap press ups burpees shoulder press mountain climbers sit ups bench press bunny hops leg raises box jumps then repeat twice.
yeah nothing wrong with that, its a common circuit you see in the gyms up and down the country vary the times and structure of the circuits too change the rest period, try circuits with no rest, you dont get rests during a fight try a circuit that only lasts for 3 mins then take a mnute rest, its similar to a real fight, maybe 6 stations for 30 secs each station, this would be a favourite of mine
The best conditioning exercse you can do is burpees in my opinion. Works your legs, core, upper body and its awesome cardio. Obviously the more you do the better. I thnk if you are just starting out trainng, dont complicate your training to much with too many exercises. Start of with doing a couple good exercises and add more exercises as you go.
Sometimes our coach gets us to do one. Normally approx 8 or so stations depending on the people there So itll be like Dumbells and do lunges with them Then maybe sit ups on an incline bench Then dead lifts Then shoulder shrugs with weights Then maybe light dumbells and punching up in the air with them Then working triceps with weights Lifting a beer keg Hitting a tyre with a sledge hammer Normally do 60 secs, 45 secs , 30 secs , 15 secs Inbetween each a sprint round the building I find this very hard as i normally dont touch weights and only do bodyweight exercises! Also sorry i dont know all the correct terms but you get the idea:thumbsup
Try this chin ups step ups(using chair) push outs(11kg bar) medicine ball of the wall(like throwing jab and cross) squats(using med ball) dips Russian twists Tyre(hitting a big tyre with a 8kg bar) sprinting 30sec on/10sec off 3/4 rounds LIKE GOING TO HELL BUT IT WORKS
Thats nice dude, we do a simpler one in my martial arts school, one minute each heavybag Bodyweight squat or jumping squat shadowbox with light dumbbells lunges push-ups or medicine ball push-ups, switching hand with every rep jump-rope repeat :good
What you do is get the bar and hold it chest high and throw it out but dont let go:!::!: and as you do it push up onto balls of your feet
I have one I'm going to try out next week 25 clapping push ups. 25 sit ups with med ball. 25 squat thrusts 25 squats with med ball (arms out) Then repeat again another three times.
