article rating 4.8/5 104

This exercise programme will help you to build your cardio and respiratory endurance, allowing you to do longer workouts. This will increase your muscle endurance through boxing bag and body weight exercises. If you want to speed up your cardio workout you can choose to do an active recovery instead of a passive one. This programme allows you to achieve 3 goals:
- Get started with boxing by learning the basic combinations
- Successfully do 30 minutes of boxing exercise
- Increase your endurance in 6 weeks

For an optimal experience we recommend using a speaker or bluetooth earphones.

Coach advice

"This programme is based on interval training that increases in length as you progress through the sessions. You will increase the time spent doing each boxing exercise while taking care to breathe properly and reducing your recovery time between exercises. At the end of the programme you will be able to do a full round of boxing without stopping, just like the pros!"
