CHAPTER 5

BOXING ROUNDS

In this chapter, you will incorporate plyometric and core
exercises along with shadowboxing. Improving endurance as
you employ proper mechanics helps your body reinforce

muscle memory. Additionally, improved endurance allows
you to maintain your defense, since fatigue may cause you
to lower your guard (dropping your hands and/or flaring
your elbows), which would compromise your form and
ability to defend against counterpunches.

Orthodox Stance

You will need the following:

Smartphone boxing timer set for 3-minute work rounds

and 30-second rest periods A mirror, to view form and
technique Boxing heavy bag (optional)

ROUND 1

Jab, cross, diagonal step throwing left hook, cross.
Tips: Make sure to keep your elbows tucked in to avoid

telegraphing your punches. Turn your wrists as you throw
the jab and cross to connect on the knuckles of your fist.
Remember to extend your arms without locking your elbow.
Take a diagonal step forward with your right foot so that it is

slightly ahead of your left foot as you throw the left hook.
Pivot on the ball of your right foot as you throw the cross.
