Introduction


Coach Geoff from the Center for Movement Challenges guides you through a series of boxing combinations designed to build strength, coordination, and endurance. No equipment? No problem! All you need is effort and the determination to move.

Workout Overview

Getting Started

  • What You Need:
    • Equipment is optional: gloves, a bag, or even hand weights.
    • The only requirement is effort—movement is key!
  • Stance & Form:
    • Hands up, elbows in.
    • Knees slightly bent, weight evenly distributed.
    • Stay ready to move and engage.

    • Repeat for two minutes.
    • Tips:
      • Keep elbows down for straight punches.
      • Turn your feet to engage the core with every punch.
      • Step with each jab, pivot the rear foot for the 2, and rotate the lead foot for the 3.

  1. Combination 2: 1, 2, 5, 6, 3
    • Repeat for two minutes.
    • Tips:
      • For uppercuts (5 and 6), adjust to punch further from the body if working with a bag.
      • Maintain smooth transitions between punches, keeping your elbows down for uppercuts.

  1. Combination 3: 1, 2, 7, 8
    • Drop into a squat for the 7 and 8.
    • Tips:
      • Focus on smooth downward and upward movement while squatting.

      • Start with the legs to power each movement.

  1. Combination 7: 1, 2, 3, 2
    • A simple, effective combination to end the session.
    • Tips:

Key Training Points
