Favourite training excercise ?

RaiseTheBlinds

Anybody got any preference for certain routines ?

how does one learn to enjoy roadwork?
personally i love the double-end bag,...loads of fun and good for improvement.

I can't see how anyone can enjoy road work. It really is so tough and extremely boring. There is simply no variation in it.
I like skipping a lot and pad work. Both are great for exercise. Skipping is a lot less strenuous, but if you can skip and skip effectively, it is a great way to stay in shape. The pads really take it out of you. But there is so many different combinations and routines, which keeps you interested. I have been trying endurance drills on the pads. Basically you let rip for as long as you can at whatever speed and power you choose. The medicine ball for the abs is also quite enjoyable, tough, but excellent for abdominal 'beauty'....

Another routine I loved was the spring ball, the ball that is attached at the bottom to the floor and at the top to the ceiling...great for speed and coordination as well as reflexes. And you can move around it whilst punching, greatly improving your footwork

Pad work all the way-the most beneficial form of exercise to any boxer when done right..like fighting because of the intensity and speed of thought needed.

Since I don't train as a boxer as such and merely mess around with speed/heavy bag ever so often I can't really say what my favourite training exercise would be but I more responded to admit.............I like road work :eek:

For whatever reason I enjoy running long distances on the road , I run to other villages/towns near Nenagh ever so often just because I enjoy it . Then again I think I may be chemically dependent on the endorphins released from the brain during exercise, which probably explains it .

frazer was addicted to roadwork,........ so he says anyway.

Padwork for sure. Or a bit of sparring..

I have to say that for all the training a boxer can do, nothing IMO compares to actual sparring....It's the real test in very way possible...

padwork, but right now skipping

Any intense conditioning work is all I need - pull-ups, pull-ups and when you're done, one more set,

Interval running (400-800m)
Burpees (time yourself for 50 or 100 reps and strive to beat your PR)
Sledge and tyre work (done with different intervals)
Loads of upper/lower body and core exercises in circuits
Speed rope

But nothing beats heavy-bag drills with tabata intervals ... definitely look it up.

<edit> if you're running out of ideas, look up crossfit.com and try the WOD (workout of the day)

Padwork-theres nothing like 1 on 1 padwork with an experienced trainer to put you through your paces..hard workout and feels like real fighting.
