Firstly let me give you a brief overview of boxing for fitness. For core strength, lightening fast conditioning results and really, unparalleled fitness...Elite athletes, trainers and smart people like you and I will mix up boxing & MMA routines into their fitness training. This is really boxing fitness - using underground MMA & boxing exercises and workouts into your routine.
So why does boxing for fitness get you freakin amazing and quick fitness results? Today, I'm going to share with you exactly why; with my 4 secret steps for success in boxing fitness. So what are they...
1. Variability
Be sure your boxing & fitness workout include variability. Naturally, you can have variability in your routine by incorporating MMA & boxing exercises. These are generally full body workouts. But if you are going to a fitness boxing class, be sure it has enough variability so you'll never hit a peak fitness level because that really sucks. I've been there. Here's an example: If you're training on a heavy bag, incorporate jabs, uppercuts, hooks, and even kicks to strengthen your legs.
If your fitness boxing routine is weightlifting based - have 8 different exercises on hand. Don't keep doing the same stuff over and over.
2. Interval Training
Most boxing fitness workouts vary the intensity levels you experience...Throughout the workout. There's a ton of boxing fitness aerobic routines that don't stress this enough. Example: Do lightening fast jabs for 20 seconds, then slow uppercuts and hooks for 40 seconds. Training in intervals will get you fitness results fast like a hungry cheetah.
3. Post-Workout Nutrition
Your post-workout meal is the most important meal of the day. You need carbs, amino acids and protein...Quick. An awesome after hours workout meal should contain fat-free yogurt, a banana, raisins and ricotta cheese. Add raw honey for pure muscle building power. The protein, amino acids and carbs... That's what it's all about and you'll get it this way. The above foods will digest quickly as well.
4. Stealth Preparation
Did you know that scientific studies have shown stretching increases strength by 20% versus not stretching? If you didn't know this, you're in the majority. A lot of trainers don't understand this! Besides an injury prevention technique, stretching has a ton of benefits. Before commencing (sorry for the proper jargon) your boxing fitness exercises, I stress that you do some boxing stretches. Not only will your flexibility increase but your strength will too.
In summary, it is clear that boxing for fitness has some substantial benefits to your health, wellness, strength and conditioning goals; it also claims easily attainable results quickly - only a few hours of workouts per week. Incorporating variability, interval training, stretches, and post-nutrition excellence will take your fitness to the next level. Who would have thought that 4 little steps could make such a massive change to your physique? Incorporating these steps far exceeded any expectations I had.
