The Boxers / Martial Artist Abdominal workout

Boxers train their core intensively, as it helps to improve strength, stability and agility, all of which are essential in the ring. If you want to train your core, then choosing a basic boxing ab workout is a good place to start. For this workout you will need a partner and a medicine ball. This is a classic old school fitness training. The exercise in this video demonstrates the medicine ball catch and toss, which is designed to strengthen the rectus abdominis (abs) and obliques. This is a very simple exercise for two people to perform, and pretty standard in boxing gyms and martial arts clubs the world over.
