If regression is required or equipment is limited, below are some alternative exercises:

Training Notes:

  • Return every punch back to the chin.

  • The non-punching hand should remain at your chin to block potential strike.

  • Pivot the foot when performing the hook punch. If you're executing the lead hook, pivot the front foot. If you're executing the rear hook, pivot the rear foot.

  • Execute each uppercut from the chin. Do not round or circle the arm when performing the uppercut.

  • When bobbing and weaving underneath a punch, bend at your knees and do not fold at your hips. Folding at your hips leaves you open to knees and kicks to the head.

  • Push Up + Bird Dog Tip: Complete one push up and as you return to the start position, lift your left arm and right leg simultaneously. Repeat the movement then lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously. Continue to alternate sides for each repetitions.



Pre-Workout Calorie Intake for Boxers:

For optimal performance, hybrid heroes should consume a well-balanced meal that includes all macronutrients; carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats. These calories should be consumed at least 2-3 hours before training allowing sufficient digestion and ensuring optimal energy levels throughout the session. Because boxing workouts require explosive movements and a substantial amount of endurance, it is recommended to prioritize carbohydrates as the primary source of energy, with a moderate amount of protein and a small amount of healthy fats.


Boxer's Smoothie Recipe:

If you're like me or are timed crunch, sometimes it may be difficult to consume a full meal before a workout. Here is one sample smoothie recipe I've personally used before my own workouts.


  1. 1 1/2 cup oatmilk

  2. 2 scoops of vanilla Orgain, plant based protein powder

  3. 1 banana

  4. 1/2 cup ola fashioned quaker oats

  5. 1 tablespoon sunbutter

  6. 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds

  7. 1 teaspoon honey


Keep in mind, I am not a registered dietitian. The smoothie recipe provided is a general suggestion for a balanced pre-workout meal for boxers and should not be considered a replacement for professional nutrition advice. Each individual's dietary needs may vary and it is recommended to consult with a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
