Comments on: Boxing Workout – Plyometric Circuits for Speed, Power and Strength http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness/boxing-workout-plyometric-circuits-for-speed-power-and-strength Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:20:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: MotleyHealth http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness/boxing-workout-plyometric-circuits-for-speed-power-and-strength#comment-61249 MotleyHealth Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:44:37 +0000 http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness_and_strength/?p=112#comment-61249 Hi Kaley. Training for a 75 mile walk, now there's a challenge. Really the only way is probably to increase walking. Less than a month is a problem though. If you can quickly get a treadmill and start walking on it for 60 minutes a day at a slight incline this will strengthen those muscles. Probably a good time to start looking for a good pair of shoes or walking boots and get them worn in too (if you have not done so already) as you do not want to be wearing a new pair of shoes at the start of a 75 mile trek. If you can put your children in a double-buggy then pushing them for an hour or two every day will also help you a lot. Hi Kaley. Training for a 75 mile walk, now there’s a challenge.

Maybe also add elliptical workouts and cycling to your routines to develop the supporting muscles. Squats and leg curls are both good weight training exercises to strengthen the knees.

Really it teaches you to develop more power, ensures that you always land a punch with good form, and is great endurance training. Not sure of a substitute for heavy bag training.

So as an example, you would do one set of squats, rest 60 seconds, then do a set of vertical jumps and so on through each exercise? Or one set of squats, rest, another set of squats, rest, then vertical jumps, and so on? Thanks for your help. Sorry I’m still confused.

How heavy depends on how strong your legs are. You should have a weight that allows you to do those 2 sets of 8, that is challenging enough to be hard, but not too heavy that you cannot complete them. So try a weight, and adjust. The idea with any form of weight training is the you increase the weight used over time as you get stronger. Yeah, they are weighted squats. How heavy depends on how strong your legs are.

Just stick with a MB 3-5kg, try different balls if you have them, see what works best for you. As for the twists, this training is to get the waist moving too, so the feet are planted.
