Super Tough Boxing Workout at Home

Boxing workouts. 3 minute rounds right? Not necessarily, you can mix things up. In this boxing workout we go with 2 minute rounds, but if you’re expecting it to be easy you would be wrong. I reckon this is one of the toughest sub-30 minute boxing workouts you can do.

Why So Tough?

So the basic workout structure is:

• 8 minute warm up
• 4 x 2 minute rounds shadow boxing
• 4 x 2 minute rounds heavy bag

There are a few reasons why this boxing workout is tough:

• In between rounds you only get 30 seconds rather than the 60 seconds that we are all used to in boxing rounds
• In between activities you only get 1 minute – no standing around
• Match the minimum number of punches to the round you are in. In round 1 you throw single punches, in round 2 you throw no less than 2 punches, round 3 it’s 3 punches and in round 4 we throw 4 punches

So, the workload increases throughout the workout and the constrained rest period heaps the pressure on.

How to survive the workout

The key to getting through this workout is breathing. Learn active recovery during the round, so breath effectively. During the rest period, maximise oxygen intake with deep, controlled breathing.

It’s intense, but I think really enjoyable.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers
