Boxing Footwork Drill #19 – Hoppers
The only way to improve your endurance and current ability is to push
yourself beyond your current limitations… that’s what we’re going to be
doing with these hoppers, your quads, hamstrings, calves… your lower body
is going to feel like it’s on fire after a solid 3 to 5 minute set of hoppers! Push
through the temporary pain and reap the rewards on the other side.
No equipment required for this footwork drill (with the exception of some
mental fortitude).
Begin by dropping down low as if you were performing a bodyweight squat.
Place your hands on your head and position yourself on the balls of your feet
while you maintain your squat position.
Begin to perform small bounces on your toes, you can opt to remain in one
spot or move around while bouncing on your toes (while remaining in your
low squat position). This is one of the ultimate drills for building up that leg
endurance.
