Lift your neck up, twist side to side, and repeat.\n-Headstand Rolls- this is a very advanced one, I actually got in trouble once for trying to do it without my coach there micromanaging my form. You assume a headstand against a wall and start rolling your head around on the ground.\n-Weighted neck ups- similar exercise, except you use a piece of neck training equipment that straps to your head and lets you hand a small weight plate.

Someone who isn’t actively competing but is sparring and is in the gym a lot should probably train their neck around 2 times a week, but if you’re competing regularly and sparring weekly, then it should be more like 3 times a week. I personally find 4-5 times a week overkill. \n\nNeck training is one of those things that probably seems really strange from the outside looking in, but it's actually fairly commonplace in contact sports, even non-combat ones like football. The benefit of neck training is allowing the athlete to absorb shock better as well as strengthening support for the cervical spine, helping to prevent catastrophic injuries to the spinal cord. It's not a magic button that makes boxing a safe sport, but it does help and even if you aren’t fighting it's a great trick to add into your exercise routine, just don’t overdo it, and be sure to consult a professional trainer to get the most out of neck training.","How often should boxers train their neck?",{"name":206,"created_at":207,"published_at":208,"updated_at":209,"id":210,"uuid":211,"content":684,"slug":206,"full_slug":226,"sort_by_date":48,"position":227,"tag_list":696,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":229,"first_published_at":230,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":697,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":213,"name":214,"category":685,"component":39,"meta_info":693,"block_image":694,"cover_image":695,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":686,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":691,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":692,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":687,"component":118,"meta_info":688,"meta_title":7,"block_image":689,"cover_image":690,"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},[],[],{"name":699,"created_at":700,"published_at":701,"updated_at":702,"id":703,"uuid":704,"content":705,"slug":714,"full_slug":715,"sort_by_date":48,"position":528,"tag_list":716,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":717,"meta_data":48,"group_id":718,"first_published_at":719,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":720,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},"Iain Mackenzie","2021-09-10T15:42:24.159Z","2022-02-08T23:25:24.310Z","2022-02-08T23:25:24.333Z",71000029,"efb09565-d096-488b-8f7f-7e80e6045b1d",{"bio":706,"_uid":707,"name":699,"photo":708,"component":712,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":713,"social_link_instagram":7,"social_link_pinterest":7},"Iain Mackenzie is a licensed amateur boxer.

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.

We can do that!\n\nBut, in order for cardio to be effective, you need to get your heart rate up higher and higher, then bring it briefly back down to recover, before raising it again. Unless you’re incorporating interval training and sprint work into your running, swimming, or biking, you’re not achieving that crucial recovery in your cardio workouts. Running or jogging gets your heart rate high, but it keeps it there consistently, and over time, your body adjusts and your baseline heart rate drops, making it harder to push it again.

Rather than maintaining a high but steady heart rate (like with running), boxing and kickboxing keep you in an aerobic state for about ⅓ of the workout, and the rest of the time you are in an anaerobic state.
