CHAPTER 6




                BOXING CIRCUIT





                This chapter provides you with circuits so you can vary
                intensity and switch up exercises in your training regimen.
                The circuits incorporate exercises that aim to improve both

                cardiovascular endurance as well as technique.


                Circuit I


                When you are doing exercises from Station II, focus on

                technique and maintaining a strong defense after every
                punch. This means keep your hands up to protect your chin,
                tuck your elbows in to protect your body, use your reach
                and turn your wrists to connect your knuckles to the target,

                and retract your hands back to your chin after throwing
                every punch. Avoid crowding your punches when you get to
                the exercises on Station IV by keeping a measured distance
                between your body and the heavy bag. You will also be

                doing some plyometric exercises in Stations I and III to build
                overall endurance.
