Don’t get frustrated if you feel like you always let your fitness routine fall to the wayside this time of year. There are many reasons why it is so hard to work out in the winter, but the ever-prevalent winter workout blues comes down to three (3) main factors:\n\n1. It’s Cold\nFor those of us who live a bit further from the equator, winter means colder temperatures and, in many areas, frequent bad weather. If you are used to exercising outside, you are probably far less inclined to do so as the temperature drops. Once the snow starts to fall, all bets are off for most (and we don’t blame you).\n\n2. It’s Dark\nThe shorter days in the winter months wreak havoc on everyone’s mental state whether we realize it or not. It is simply easier to justify skipping workout when it feels like there are fewer hours in the day. What’s worse, potentially serious depressive conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) are common, and even a comparatively ‘mild’ case can still rob you of your motivation to do much of anything at all.\n\n3. It’s Busy\nWinter kicks off a busy holiday season that can throw our schedules off track. Even when the festivities calm down, it can be very difficult to reclaim your usual routine and revive your fitness momentum. It can be exhausting doing so much for everyone else during this time. Don’t forget--you can’t pour from an empty cup – self-care comes first!","Why is it harder to workout in the winter?",{"_uid":675,"answer":676,"question":677,"component":669},"9ec9ed37-cf4b-4937-a87f-d6cc45b3ece3","There are many ways to stay motivated to work out during cold weather. Fitness is just as much about improving your mental state and adopting a healthier lifestyle as it is about getting in better physical shape.\n\nThat said, it’s helpful to remember that ‘Action Precedes Motivation’ – meaning that you establish motivation (and momentum) by the act of getting started. It might feel daunting to think about how to stay fit during the cold dark winter, but establishing a game plan and taking the first active step is the hardest part. Be proud of yourself for getting past that initial foot-dragging stage. It gets easier!\n\nTo get started, it’s critical to choose workouts that you will enjoy. Follow the lead of top NFL players - many of your favorite professional athletes choose to glove up for their offseason training. Boxing and kickboxing are two of the most effective and addictive exercises to keep you motivated any time of year, with an endless variety of drills tailored to all fitness levels. When the weather starts to take a turn, you can easily start boxing or kickboxing at home, with or without equipment.\n\nIf you’re ready to treat yourself to some boxing equipment, you don’t need much to get started. It’s worth it, too. The stress-busting intensity of a heavy bag workout does wonders for your mental health, making boxing and kickboxing the most effective winter workouts to keep you coming back for more.","How do you stay motivated to work out in cold weather?",{"_uid":679,"answer":680,"question":681,"component":669},"8fc24de5-6e2c-4bc7-93ab-d75843edeeaa","1. Create an At-Home Gym\nGet out of the cold with your own special indoor fitness gym. Setting up a home boxing gym is one of the best ways to ensure you can stay motivated when the weather outside is frightful. It is much simpler than you may think, especially with step-by-step guides offered by programs with complete home setups like FightCamp.\n\n2. Join a Like-Minded Group\nHaving support from a community with similar fitness goals is priceless. Not only is it encouraging to share your fitness journey with others, but joining online classes can spark your inner competitive edge, pushing you to keep showing up and to go harder every time.\n\n3. Track Your Progress\nAs great as healthy competition can be, the most important competitor you face is yourself. One of the biggest fitness motivators is seeing the progress you have made towards your personal fitness goals. There are few things more satisfying than knowing your hard work is paying off, and programs like FightCamp, with their App and punch trackers, can give you the data and insight to follow your at-home workout metrics.\n\n4. Eat Healthy\nThis can be tough during the winter holidays. While it is important to let yourself indulge and enjoy at celebrations, it’s also important to remember that what you eat will impact how you feel. Following a boxer’s diet is an easy way to not derail your fitness progress by providing guidelines on choosing the right kinds of fuel.\n\n5. Schedule Your Workouts\nYes, keeping a fitness routine is exactly what many find so difficult in the winter, but it can be done. Even if you’re confronted with a hectic holiday schedule, you can almost always find a way to pencil in as little as 15 minutes for exercise just 3 or 4 times per week. Again, this is part of the massive appeal behind boxing and kickboxing – you can crush a combination cardio and full-body strength training workout in way less time.","How can I stay fit in the winter?",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":683,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":695,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":696,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":684,"component":39,"meta_info":692,"block_image":693,"cover_image":694,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":685,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":690,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":691,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":686,"component":118,"meta_info":687,"meta_title":7,"block_image":688,"cover_image":689,"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},[],[],{"name":698,"created_at":699,"published_at":700,"updated_at":701,"id":702,"uuid":703,"content":704,"slug":713,"full_slug":714,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":715,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":716,"meta_data":48,"group_id":717,"first_published_at":718,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":719,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},"Mollie McGurk","2021-09-10T15:38:15.527Z","2022-02-08T23:28:28.870Z","2022-02-08T23:28:28.890Z",71000016,"0b747e20-f084-493c-87c2-8242318710bf",{"bio":705,"_uid":706,"name":698,"photo":707,"component":710,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":711,"social_link_instagram":712,"social_link_pinterest":7},"Mollie McGurk is a writer and has trained in boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and HIIT for over 10 years.

The Philly Shell defense is constructed of 3 main factors:\n\nThe Philly Shell\n-The lead hand is turned and tucked against the sternum in an ‘L’ shape, raising the shoulder to protect the chin.\n-The rear hand is tucked tight against the chin on the other side, providing solid defense from both right and left-hand shots to the body and head.\n-Twisting the hips to either side allows the boxer to deflect punches off his lead shoulder or rear hand, enabling quick counter shots.\n\nThe usual weakness of this defensive boxing technique is that punch selection from this position is generally limited, however, Floyd was able to negate this weakness by using his very high ring IQ and clever use of a flicking jab off the back foot to funnel opponents into the right ‘lines of fire’ to land his best punches and negate theirs.

An incredibly slick southpaw fighter, Whitaker used the check lead hook and stutter step, common tools for defensive boxers to prevent opponents from lining up punches correctly. This allowed him to use his incredible reflexes to dodge seemingly hundreds of punches at a time. Here’s how these techniques work in tandem:\n\n-First, an orthodox opponent throws a jab. Whitaker slips to the outside of the jab to pivot right while simultaneously throwing a quick hook/looping jab over the top.\n-Next, the opponent turns to continue the approach, likely behind a high guard. Whitaker brings his rear foot back, giving the appearance of giving ground. When the opponent takes the bait, Whitaker instead steps out to his left, completely misaligning his opponent.\n-As the opponent turns to attack, his punches will be unbalanced and weak, allowing Whitaker to easily dodge and counter with precise, far more powerful punches.\n\nWhitaker was an all-time great when it came to boxing defense, and along with Mayweather, is one of the least hit boxers in history because he took a basic technique and elevated it to an elite level. Check out Pernell Whitaker vs. Julio Cezar Vasquez to see his work in action. ","What were Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker's defense techniques?\n",{"_uid":1718,"answer":1719,"question":1720,"component":669},"040046cf-e7b1-4875-b88f-d841673a5e49","No article about defensive boxing would be complete without “The Greatest” himself. Between the ‘Ali Shuffle’ and the Rope-a-Dope, Ali was able to confuse and bewilder opponents to the point where it truly felt like he was a ghost in the ring. Here’s how these two techniques work.\n\nThe Ali Shuffle\n-The Ali Shuffle is a visual trick used to throw off timing. To do the Ali Shuffle, you rapidly switch your front and rear foot back and forth, eventually interrupting this sequence with a punch. \n-The best way to use this technique is to intersperse it in-between stick and move style footwork to throw off the opponent’s rhythm, making them second guess the timing of their punches.\n\nThe Rope a Dope\n-The Rope a Dope is a risky strategy used to frustrate and exhaust a fighter who is low on stamina, preferably a brawler with less than stellar technique.

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. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest.

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.

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. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest.
