Some days, it just feels good to hit something 🙂 I was having a hard time the past two days getting back into work and unpacking and everything else; I think normal exhaustion and jet lag finally caught up with me. So yesterday I didn’t make it to the gym but today I did and I had a GREAT workout.
I hadn’t boxed in awhile so today I grabbed my gloves on the way out the door. I worked the heavy bag into a leg circuit like this:
Warm-Up:
20 calf raises
20 sumo squats
50 quick jab/cross (speed over power for warm-up)
50 body shots
Workout:
20 jab/cross combo per side (40 punches all together)
30 crunches on ball
20 leg pull ins on stability ball ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEzjzgG49x4 )
20 leg curls on stability ball ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amf9aHQ6Loo )
20 split lunges per leg with 10 lb dumbbells
20 squats with body weight
20 jab/cross/hook combos per side
10 roundhouse kicks per leg, front leg
10 roundhouse kicks per leg, back leg
If you rest in the circuit don’t let it be in between the boxing, you want that fast and powerful. Rest after the circuit and repeat 2 more times (3 rounds)
15 bent leg hip extension with 5 lb dumbbell behind knee/leg
15 straight leg hip extensions per leg
15 back leg roundhouse kicks/leg
20 squat into kick alternating legs (10/leg)
Repeat 2 more times
Pretty basic diet today… trying to make a new chicken recipe tonight, if it works out that may be the post tomorrow!
fit and busy 
How’d you get into kickboxing? Sounds like fun.
I started back in Oklahoma at a kickboxing gym there, haven’t found one out in Baltimore that I like but always make sure gyms I workout at have a heavy bag. It’s a great workout!
