The Workout Structure:
We are working with 1-Minute Rounds and short 10-Second Rests. This pace allows you to focus on form during the minute, while the short rest keeps your heart rate in the fat-burning zone.
The Rounds:
1. The Jab (1): Focus on full extension and keeping the shoulder loose.
2. The Straight (2): Isolate the power hand. engaging your hips and rotating that back foot.
3. The Lead Hook (3): Work on the elbow height and pivoting the lead foot.
4. Jab Variations: We mix it up with Single, Double, and Triple Jabs to build lead-hand endurance with some added footwork.
5. The 1-2 Flow: Putting the first two rounds together for the classic straight-punch combination.
6. The Burnout (1-2-1-2-3): We finish strong with a 5-punch speed shoe shine sequence.
Coach's Tip:
Since you aren't hitting a physical object, be careful not to hyperextend your elbows. Focus on rotating the punch at the end of the motion rather than pushing through the air.
