Variety in the types of training will be helpful to you, so don’t just box six days a week. Choose different activities, like kickboxing, core conditioning, or a full-body workout. Our society is fixated on working out and high-intensity interval training, but too much of anything can harm your well-being. You don’t need to kick your butt every day to see results. Overtraining is a real thing, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine has a few exercise-related symptoms of overtraining:\n\n-A plateau or decline in workout performance or progress\n-A perception of increased exertion during “normal” or “easy” workouts\n-Excessive sweating or overheating\n-Unusual feelings of heaviness, stiffness, or muscle soreness\n-A lack of feeling “refreshed” after regular rest and recovery\n-Recurrent injuries include muscle sprains, tendonitis, stress fractures, and chronic joint pain\n-A decline in enthusiasm for exercise (or skipping or quitting workouts) \n\nThese are just some examples of what happens when you overtrain. Still, they’re not limited to poor sleep, increased resting heart rate/blood pressure, mood swings, persistent fatigue, or low energy. The seven points shared above are subjective but should not be taken lightly. If these symptoms last longer than two months, please consult your physician as soon as possible. Managing your exercise variety and training days can be done within the FightCamp App or an old-school written journal. Once in a while, look back and celebrate how far you have come in your journey. Ensure you remain consistent with healthy nutrition and good sleep hygiene or consider a “work-in.”","What are the signs of overtraining?",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"5277bb14-a36a-4af3-aec1-75bd9315ef4d","Working inwards, or active rest/recovery, will balance the traditional workouts with activities you might need or not usually associate with active recovery or active rest. The following activities can be performed on a “work-in” day and stimulate body and mind while not moderate to vigorous exercising. Foam rolling, stretching, learning to juggle, gratitude walks, playing an instrument, swimming, learning how to salsa dance (shout out to Aaron and Flo), or meditation are some examples of “work-in.” Make sure to monitor sleep for recovery; 7-8 hours of consistent bedtime sleep has been proven to help restore your body and leave you feeling refreshed.\n\nDoing absolutely nothing is not beneficial to your wellness. In 2016, researchers found “that low or no leisure physical activity was associated with greater decline in processing speed and episodic memory.” Consider that when you learn new skills, your brain benefits from them; think about when your FightCamp Trainers teach you new combinations. Learning a new skill has been proven to form new neurological connections, “since aerobic exercise is associated with increased neurogenesis in humans, integration of these new brain cells requires newness and challenge.”\n\nThe benefits your body reaps from your “work-in” aren’t exclusive to rest and recovery alone. Exercising improves the function of your brain, body, and lifespan. A variety of activities and a high level of physical activity decrease the shrinking of your hippocampus, the part of your brain associated with learning and memory. Taking action means that the diversity of your choices directly impacts your brain function and overall fitness. Suppose you’ve watched the FightCamp Trainers. In that case, they enjoy various activities, such as dancing, longboarding, dad jokes, and long walks on the beach. The FightCamp App provides everything you need to be as diverse as possible. When you want to “rest,” please consider doing something to help you be a better FightCamp fighter and a healthier human being.

If you fight in Orthodox Stance, you will jab with your left hand. If you’re in Southpaw Stance, use your right hand.\n-Cross – From your fighting stance, throw your rear fist (usually your dominant hand) straight down the line just like your jab. \n-Lead Hook – It looks just like it sounds! Raise your lead arm in a hook shape so that your elbow is parallel to the floor. Shift your weight to your lead foot and pivot your energy through your lead foot, hip, torso, and shoulder. Keeping your arm level, throw your punch and connect your fist to the bag like you’re holding a cup of coffee. \n-Rear Hook – A Rear Hook is a mirror image of a Lead Hook. This time, shift your weight to your rear foot, pivot, and throw your punch with your rear hand, aiming for where your opponent’s head would be. \n-Lead Uppercut – Instead of a straight or hook punch, throw a lead punch upwards at a slight angle (aiming just beneath the chin). These are most effective when they’re fast, powerful, and surprising! \n-Rear Uppercut – Different hand, same zing! Throw your rear hand hard and fast at a vertical angle to hit right under the chin.\n-Bodyshot – All the punches above are head punches… BUT they can easily be used to do damage to the body, as well. To turn a Jab, Cross, Hook, or Uppercut into a bodyshot, simply bend your knees and drop levels to deliver your punches at the torso (front and sides). ","What are the different boxing punches?",{"_uid":1158,"answer":1159,"question":1160,"component":670},"57960aaf-d4b7-4cb6-b680-87cf16655e75","Strong boxing starts with smart footwork, which refers to all the various leg and foot movements boxers use to keep their balance, further or close the distance, control space, create new angles, and force their opponent into a vulnerable position.

When you’re in your boxing stance, alternate your weight between your back leg and front leg in a quick-shifting motion.\n-Boxers also use head movements and torso movements to avoid being struck, and feints (mock punches or movements to distract your opponent from your real attack) to catch their opponent off guard. Next time you’re sparring with a partner, try these two boxing movements to avoid getting hit by your opponent:\n-Shoulder Roll – Bring your lead shoulder to your chin and turn your hips away from the punch, using your shoulder as a shield. Your opponent’s punch will slide harmlessly off your shoulder. \n-Slip – A slip is an avoidance head movement, which is a fancy way of saying “dodging a punch.” When you slip a punch, lean and twist in one direction just enough to take your head off the “punching line” while maintaining your balance and protecting your face with your gloves.","What are different boxing movements?",{"_uid":1162,"answer":1163,"question":1164,"component":670},"d6a9255d-2e72-47ae-9cd0-4fa1f518a2e5","Now that we’ve talked about boxing combinations and boxing movements, let’s talk about how to apply them in boxing training.

Shadowboxing is an unbeatable way to master the foundations of boxing and hone your technique. \n-Bag Work – This is your heavy bag workout! Bag work is usually structured in 4, 6, 8, or 10 rounds, on a hanging or free-standing heavy bag.\n-Mittwork – Usually executed by a trainer, mittwork involves using pads and mitts to present targets to a boxer to practice techniques and combinations. \n-Sparring – Sparring is a live-action simulation of a fight with a real, live partner to prepare you for a boxing competition. You should only spar with proper safety equipment (mouthpiece, headgear, cup, etc).  \n-Roadwork – This is training done on the road or the track.

You’ll definitely hear these phrases from the Trainers when you’re training on the free FightCamp app!\n\n-Burnout – A Burnout round is a round of repetitive, non-stop focused movements on the heavy bag. For example, you could do a hook shot burnout round where you throw nothing but lead and rear hooks as hard as you can for a full minute. \n-Coast – Coasting is repeating a combination (like a jab-cross) nonstop but at a slower and steadier pace. Like an active recovery, you typically Coast between bouts of higher-intensity work. \n-Powercoast – Power + Coast = Powercoast.

You will benefit from increased nutrients and the removal of byproducts from your muscles due to all your hard workouts. You are more susceptible to injuries if you do not stretch post-workout. Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population. Sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to shorten over time, and we feel tighter, making it harder to enjoy a life without constraints. When our lifestyle of inactivity becomes the dominating factor, it creates muscular imbalances that will not allow us to function correctly.

If this is tricky, bend one elbow and go one arm at a time.\n\n2. World's Greatest Stretch \n-From high active plank, push in to bear squat, and lunge left foot forward. \n-Next to the left hand, raise the left hand to the sky. \n-As you breathe, maintain a straight right rear leg, pushing your heel towards the floor. \n-Lower the left hand and step your left foot back. REPEAT on the right and alternate for 60-90 seconds.\n\n3. Kneeling Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch\n-Step your right foot forward from a kneeling position far enough to lower your hips towards the floor. \n-Reach back (if possible) with your right hand, grab onto your left ankle, and maintain an upright posture. \n-Hold this position and breath slowly for 30-60 seconds, then switch legs.\n\n4. Cat/Cow\n-Start on all fours, neutral spine. \n-Inhale and let your belly fall as you lift your chin and your eyes look up. Draw your shoulders away from your ears. \n-Upon exhaling, press through your hands, round the spine, and tuck the tailbone.\n\n5. Thread the Needle\n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under your chest behind the opposite arm. \n-Bring your right shoulder to the floor, then return to the start. Pair the movement with your breath, and take 3-4 slow breaths before switching arms.\n\n6. Thread the Needle With a Twist \n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under the chest behind the opposite arm. Bring your right shoulder to the floor. \n-While the shoulder is down toward the floor, let your top arm open to a 'T' position, straight to the ceiling. \n-Return to the starting position.\n\n7. Scorpion Stretch (Prone) \n-Begin lying down, arms out in T. \n-Bring your right arm in, hand near the chest, and use it to pin down your left shoulder as you take your right leg (opposite of pinned shoulder) up and over and allow your hips to open up.","What stretches should you do after a workout?\n",{"_uid":1535,"answer":1536,"question":1537,"component":670},"3b596f54-fe8f-4ec9-bcde-7461d17c5a39","The stretches listed above should be done at least 5 days a week for at least 5 minutes to promote range of motion improvements.
