Swimming laps around a pool use just about every muscle you have, and also get your lungs and heart rate working in no time! Try for however many laps you can at a smooth, steady pace.\n\n-Tabata Bag Drills\nOne great way to get your anaerobic endurance up is with Tabata drills on the heavy bag. By working the classic 10 seconds on, 5 seconds off rhythm at maximum effort for 1-3 minutes at a time, you very accurately mimic the actual rhythm and pace of a competitive match. You can find this drill in the FightCamp App under 10-to-5 Interval Sprint. This helps build your lactic acid threshold and arm endurance in addition to being great cardio training. Plus you get to punch something!\n\n-Footwork Heavy Sports\nThis might seem obvious but doesn’t cross a lot of people’s minds: playing any sport, even in a casual setting, is a great way to increase your cardio. For example, I have a soccer field near me so on days when I don’t feel like just jogging, I can usually find a pickup game there. Anything like soccer, basketball, tennis, or dancing are great ways to supplement cardio training and will help with your boxing footwork as an added bonus.\n\n-Hiking\nIf you have a local trail, it's always good to get out in nature every once in a while and hiking is a great way to get your resting heart rate down and your leg endurance up while still enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Just make sure to bring water and healthy snacks! \n\n-Shadowboxing Punchouts\nI used to do this one all the time during the height of the lockdown when I couldn’t necessarily get out to run very often but still needed to keep a baseline cardio fitness. The idea here is to find a rhythm with 4 punches (I use the jab, cross, lead uppercut, and rear uppercut) while maintaining proper form and repeating it as quickly as you can for as long as you can without taking a break. It's awesome for your shoulders and improves your punching form as well.","What are different forms of cardo exercises?",{"name":206,"created_at":207,"published_at":208,"updated_at":209,"id":210,"uuid":211,"content":1284,"slug":206,"full_slug":226,"sort_by_date":48,"position":227,"tag_list":1296,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":229,"first_published_at":230,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1297,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":213,"name":214,"category":1285,"component":39,"meta_info":1293,"block_image":1294,"cover_image":1295,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1286,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1291,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1292,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1287,"component":118,"meta_info":1288,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1289,"cover_image":1290,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":216,"title":217,"plugin":43,"description":218},{"id":220,"alt":221,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":221,"filename":222,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":224,"alt":221,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":221,"filename":225,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"efb09565-d096-488b-8f7f-7e80e6045b1d",{"type":739,"content":1300},[1301,1305,1310,1315,1340,1345,1368,1373,1387,1392,1406,1411,1415,1420,1424,1429,1442],{"type":742,"content":1302},[1303],{"text":1304,"type":746},"Boxing is a high-action sport, and fighters need a ton of stamina to keep the pace for an entire match.

To do this head movement drill, get into your boxing stance. Then slip to whichever side you prefer, making sure not to let your chin cross your knee. From there you have 5 options:\n\nPivot out, resetting the drill to the start (avoiding pressure and perhaps taking a better angle on your imaginary opponent)\n\nWeave under to the other side (to avoid hooks)\n\nPull back/sway (good for avoiding uppercuts)\n\nDouble dip (duck further that way to avoid a catch shot, ALWAYS follow this with an immediate big pivot or weave)\n\nThrow a punch (it's important that defense and offense are fluid) \n\nKeep mixing up what side you start on and what options you go to until they all start to flow together and take it slow.

For this drill, the only boxing head movement equipment you’ll need is a long, straight line to follow (preferably tape at least 10-13 feet). Set up your boxing stance on the far end of the line so that each foot is on one side of it with your back to the length of the line. From there, we follow these steps, never letting your feet cross the line.\n\nThe opponent is pressuring with a jab. Slip towards your lead leg, loading up your lead hand.\n\n The opponent tries to catch your slip with a cross. Hop back with a lead check hook, slipping to your rear leg at the same time.\n\nThe opponent tries to smother you. Shuffle step back while throwing a cross (or uppercut), returning your head to a neutral position. \n\nRepeat step 1\n\nThe goal of this is again to train your body to always naturally move your head when you punch, whether going backward or forward. Speaking of forwards, we’ve reached the end of the line, and now have to go back up. Here are the steps for that half of the drill.\n\nYour opponent is holding his ground. step forward behind the jab, slipping to your rear leg (the inside).\n\nThe opponent is retreating but throwing punches. Step forward with a right cross while slipping towards your lead leg, avoiding the opponent’s check jab.\n\nThe opponent tries to hop back. Using that conveniently loaded lead hand, hop forward with a check lead hook while shifting weight back to the rear leg, both catching the opponent off balance and again taking your head far out of harm's way\n\nReturn to neutral and repeat the sequence\n\nThe purpose here is twofold. One is to get you used to one of the most common sequences in all of boxing (1-2-3 or 1-2 smother). The other is to train your body to constantly be in motion whether on offense or defense. It is far easier to adjust a body that is already moving than it is to move a body that is standing still.","How do you do a boxing line drill?\n",{"name":233,"created_at":234,"published_at":235,"updated_at":236,"id":237,"uuid":238,"content":2111,"slug":233,"full_slug":253,"sort_by_date":48,"position":254,"tag_list":2123,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":256,"first_published_at":257,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2124,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":240,"name":241,"category":2112,"component":39,"meta_info":2120,"block_image":2121,"cover_image":2122,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":2113,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":2118,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2119,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":2114,"component":118,"meta_info":2115,"meta_title":7,"block_image":2116,"cover_image":2117,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":243,"title":244,"plugin":43,"description":245},{"id":247,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":249,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":251,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":252,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"type":739,"content":2126},[2127,2132,2152,2157,2162,2166,2198,2202,2207,2217,2237,2241,2246,2250,2276,2280,2306,2310,2315,2327,2331,2340],{"type":802,"attrs":2128,"content":2129},{"level":804},[2130],{"text":2131,"type":746},"How to Get Better Head Movement in Boxing",{"type":742,"content":2133},[2134,2136,2143,2145,2150],{"text":2135,"type":746},"Head movement in boxing is one of the most impressive aspects of a boxing match.

Sometimes all you need to be is motivated to have a better relationship and a health/life/play balance. ","What is the difference between motivation and determination?",{"_uid":2385,"answer":2386,"question":2387,"component":670},"1da549b6-9bb9-424f-b5dc-2916ecc1d18c","Here are some tips to stay motivated and different scenarios that you might face where that motivational drive isn't what you want it to be, and how you can find the means to stay with your fitness routine.\n\n1. Working Out at Home\nThe wonderful thing about working out from home is that it offers numerous benefits. Being able to do it whenever you want, day or night, no waiting in line to use gym equipment, no commute to and from, the list goes on. Sometimes home workouts can have the exact opposite effect.\n\nThis typically arises because we are most comfortable in our own homes. Once we are done with the work day and back at home, it's all too easy to get comfortable and not want to get up and start that workout. So, how do you manage this?\n\nSet aside time - Set aside specific times each day for exercise, making sure to block off calendars if it’s during the middle of the day, or carve out 20/30 minutes before or after work. That time is protected and you made plans for it.\n\nTurn up the media - Really not feeling it? Blast some of your favorite pump-up jams or listen to a motivational speech or podcast.\n\nJust start - Sometimes the hardest part is just starting, but once you get going, it's easier to find the drive along the way. Remember, nobody ever regretted finishing a workout. \n\n2. Staying Committed to Exercising Daily\nSometimes it's not that we lack the motivation to work out, sometimes it is the motivation to work out consistently. That’s not to say that you have to work out seven days a week, 365 days a year, but staying adherent to consistency long-term leads to lifestyle changes. \n\nSo how can you find the motivation to exercise daily? Simple. Have active rest days. Active rest days can be utilized on a consistent basis to incorporate daily movement into your life, without overtaxing the body and nervous system. Here are some options to include on active rest days that have been shown to have numerous health benefits.\n\n-Outdoor walks/hikes in nature\n-Easy pace swims\n-Sauna sessions\n-Low-intensity yoga\n-Mobility work \n-Stretching\n\n3. Morning Workouts Before Starting the Day\nOne of the best ways to ensure that you get your workout in for the day is to do it before work or before the kids are up. Sometimes, that is easier said than done. Your bed ends up becoming too comfy and getting out from under the covers seems like a real struggle; the motivation becomes non-existent. Here's how to do it.\n\nGetting into a good morning routine starts the night before in the evening time. This means developing a routine that becomes a habit. \n\n-Turning off electronics the last hour\n-Sleeping in a blacked-out environment\n-Getting to bed at the same time each night\n-Set out your workout clothes the night before\n\nSimply incorporating a few key disciplines each night can help ensure you fall asleep quickly and get the most out of each sleep session. Then, when the alarm rings at 5 a.m. to get up for your workout, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on that 20 minute H.I.I.T. session.\n\n4. End-of-Day Workouts\nWhile working out before work or taking the kiddos to school may be ideal for some, it may not be an option for others. So the only option is to work out post office hours. This can sometimes be a pitfall for motivational levels. You just put in an eight or more hour day, and now you need to find the energy to work out. How do you now find motivation when you don't want to work out?\n\nHere are a couple of ways to help you get that motivation for working out at the end of the day.\n\nMake it a priority - The excuses are easy to find once you’ve put in a full day's worth of work. The truth of the matter usually comes down to not wanting it bad enough. Finding your reason “why” you work out or have certain goals can certainly help when the motivation is not there. \n\nDo it right away - The reason most fail with post-work exercise is that we get too comfy. Here is how you can combat that. Once you immediately get home from work/finish working remotely, don’t unwind just yet, get into those gym clothes, turn on your fitness app, and start your workout. \n\nFamily first - Other times it literally is not feasible to work out immediately following your nine-to-five. Some have to pick up kids, make dinner, help with homework, etc. That’s totally understandable. Here is that workaround. \n\nOnce the kids have gone to sleep and it has been at least an hour or 2 since you’ve eaten dinner, use that time for yourself and for your workout. You’ll feel great by ending the day with a sweat session and it will help you sleep better too!","How can you get motivated to work out?",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":2389,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":2401,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2402,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":2390,"component":39,"meta_info":2398,"block_image":2399,"cover_image":2400,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":2391,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":2396,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2397,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":2392,"component":118,"meta_info":2393,"meta_title":7,"block_image":2394,"cover_image":2395,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":270,"title":271,"plugin":43,"description":272},{"id":274,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":276,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":278,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":279,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"556f66aa-ba69-478f-94b7-752150a263c0",{"type":739,"content":2405},[2406,2411,2425,2439,2444,2448,2453,2457,2495,2499,2504,2508,2512,2517,2521,2526,2540,2544,2564,2569,2573,2577,2635,2640,2644,2648,2674,2688,2693,2697,2701,2727,2731,2736,2740,2744,2754],{"type":802,"attrs":2407,"content":2408},{"level":804},[2409],{"text":2410,"type":746},"How to Stay Motivated to Work Out",{"type":742,"content":2412},[2413,2415,2423],{"text":2414,"type":746},"Motivation is a fleeting entity.
