In fact, you can boxercise at home by simply doing basic boxing moves such as:\n- Jumping rope\n- Shadow boxing drills\n- Heavy bag drills\n- Core work\nJumping rope is great for boxing because it helps with concentration, speed and agility, and cardiovascular endurance. You can start by jumping rope for a 2-minute warm-up or doing 5-10 minutes for an extra cardio kick.\n\nYou don’t need any boxing equipment for shadow boxing drills, which makes them convenient to do anywhere. Shadow boxing can help you practice perfect form, stance, and punches, by being able to play out different scenarios that can happen when you’re facing an opponent. You can start with a jab, cross drill, or practice your defense moves such as slipping, where you slightly bend your knees with your hands up guarding your face, and slightly move your head to the side.\n\nHeavy bag drills can help give you power. You can do a simple drill with a couple of quick jabs, resetting, and throwing 2 more quick jabs, repeating for a 3-minute round.\n\nBoxers need to have a strong core. Even though you’re always engaging your core when boxing, you can do extra core work like sit-ups, flutter kicks, and elbow plank (push up position on your elbows) to high plank, etc.","How do you do boxercise at home?",{"_uid":675,"answer":676,"question":677,"component":669},"59bf8449-52c4-4668-b495-56e3acc97373","Your stance is extremely important because if you aren’t using the proper form, you can lose your balance and your punches won’t be as effective.

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. These muscles throw our spine out of alignment and significantly change our movement patterns and overall performance. ","Is post-workout stretching important?",{"_uid":1046,"answer":1047,"question":1048,"component":669},"3cd70049-37de-4376-a655-d6af87d5dfd5","7 Stretches to Help You Recover Post-Workout\n1. Shoulder Flossing\n-Start in a standing position.\n-Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.\n-Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.\n-Do not force this movement. 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":1050,"answer":1051,"question":1052,"component":669},"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. Consistency in post-workout stretching is positively associated with an increased range of motion, which means you will be more flexible and mobile. Pair this with consistent strength training to maintain a balance in your newfound mobility with added stability from the strength training sessions in the FightCamp app. Studies have shown that when pairing regular stretching and strengthening, you lower your chances of low back and shoulder pain. This means you can train your heart out as long as you are balancing selected sessions in our app.","How Often Should I Stretch?",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":1054,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":1066,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1067,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":1055,"component":39,"meta_info":1063,"block_image":1064,"cover_image":1065,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1056,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1061,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1062,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1057,"component":118,"meta_info":1058,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1059,"cover_image":1060,"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},[],[],"6a98b047-3e44-4f79-8e9d-ff87e5ee5dcd",{"type":750,"content":1070},[1071,1087,1091,1103,1108,1113,1143,1148,1175,1180,1202,1207,1229,1234,1256,1261,1288,1293,1309,1313,1337,1342,1356],{"type":760,"content":1072},[1073,1075,1085],{"text":1074,"type":758},"Post-workout ",{"text":1076,"type":758,"marks":1077},"stretches",[1078,1083],{"type":914,"attrs":1079},{"href":1080,"uuid":48,"anchor":48,"custom":1081,"target":1082,"linktype":13},"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33338988/",{},"_blank",{"type":1084},"underline",{"text":1086,"type":758}," help lower your blood pressure and are more beneficial than brisk walking when done consistently over time.

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. These muscles throw our spine out of alignment and significantly change our movement patterns and overall performance. ",{"type":753,"attrs":1104,"content":1105},{"level":755},[1106],{"text":1107,"type":758},"7 Stretches to Help You Recover Post-Workout",{"type":753,"attrs":1109,"content":1110},{"level":849},[1111],{"text":1112,"type":758},"Shoulder Flossing",{"type":1114,"attrs":1115,"content":1118},"ordered_list",{"order":1116},{"order":1117},1,[1119,1125,1131,1137],{"type":768,"content":1120},[1121],{"type":760,"content":1122},[1123],{"text":1124,"type":758},"Start in a standing position.",{"type":768,"content":1126},[1127],{"type":760,"content":1128},[1129],{"text":1130,"type":758},"Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.",{"type":768,"content":1132},[1133],{"type":760,"content":1134},[1135],{"text":1136,"type":758},"Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.",{"type":768,"content":1138},[1139],{"type":760,"content":1140},[1141],{"text":1142,"type":758},"Do not force this movement.

For example, when you throw a jab while stepping in, it's a good idea to slip as well.

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.

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. It relies on quick reflexes and the added help of the elastic ring ropes to allow you to wildly dodge punches for an extended period without falling off balance.\n-This strategy works best against heavy-handed boxers that have already thrown a lot of punches, as the Rope a Dope relies on the opponent getting tired to be effective. Save it for the late rounds!\n\nMuhammad Ali is one of the best heavyweights of all time, mostly because he had a defensive edge over the vast majority of his competition, using footwork and hand speed that is usually only found in lower weight classes. Watch his historic fights with Foreman or Sonny Liston to see his strategy play out in real time!","What were Muhammad Ali's defense techniques?\n","Best Defensive Boxers & Their Signature Techniques\n",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":1566,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":1578,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1579,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":1567,"component":39,"meta_info":1575,"block_image":1576,"cover_image":1577,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1568,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1573,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1574,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1569,"component":118,"meta_info":1570,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1571,"cover_image":1572,"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},[],[],{"type":750,"content":1581},[1582,1586,1591,1606,1620,1625,1645,1649,1654,1671,1675,1695,1699,1704,1719,1723,1728,1752,1757,1771,1775,1789,1793,1803],{"type":760,"content":1583},[1584],{"text":1585,"type":758},"Boxers everywhere will tell you that the true core of the sport is the art of hitting without getting hit.

But if you stay prepared and take the weather seriously, you’ll be able to enjoy a safe and successful winter workout.\n\nWatch the Windchill\nWe’re serious about this! No matter what type of training you’re doing and how long you’re outside, knowing when to go back inside is critical. When the windchill falls below -18 degrees F, frostbite takes only 30 minutes to set it. It’s also important to remember that if you get wet while working out in the cold – like running in the rain or the snow – it will be harder for your body to maintain its core temperature, and you risk physical injury and illness. \n\nProtect Your Extremities\nWhen you exercise, your body is sending all the blood it can to your core, leaving your extremities – head, hands, ears, and feet – to fend for themselves. This makes them especially vulnerable to frostbite. Here are some easy ways to protect yourself:\n\nWear thin wicking gloves beneath a pair of heavier wool- or fleece-lined mittens. That’s right – double the coverage! \n\nInvest in sneakers a half size larger than normal so you can comfortably wear thicker socks\n\nWear a hat or headband that covers your ears\n\nOn colder days, consider a ski mask, hunting mask, or balaclava that protects your face\n\nWear Layers\nWhen you exercise in the cold, your body goes through a roller coaster of temperatures. As your heart rate increases, you will start to feel warmer than you really are. But as your sweat evaporates, it pulls heat from your body, and suddenly you’re cold again. The answer to this Catch 22 is to wear layers that you can take off and put on as needed. Wearing a synthetic layer against your skin will help wick away sweat, and a fleece layer on top of that will provide insulation. For your top layer, consider something waterproof and wind-resistance. Avoid cotton at all costs; once it gets wet, it stays wet, and your body won’t be able to re-regulate its core temperature. \n\nDon’t Forget Sunscreen\nJust because it’s not hot out doesn’t mean the sun won’t burn. In fact, if you’re exercising in the snow or at high altitudes, the sun will be even more likely to burn your skin. If you’re exercising in the cold consistently, always wear sunscreen, a lip balm with sunscreen, and sunglasses. ","How do you work out in cold weather?",{"_uid":2076,"answer":2077,"question":2078,"component":669},"cec91481-87c0-479c-866f-7ac6986ed5ed","Motivating yourself through the dark months can be a challenge. But it’s not impossible. Do these easy cold-weather workout hacks:\n\nInvest in New Activewear\nWhen the cold weather hits, we all want to hunker down and hibernate in our cozy homes. To help you get outside, treat yourself to some new workout gear that excites you. It’s hard not to want to show off a new outfit, and wearing workout clothes that make you look and feel good can be an instant confidence boost!\n\nFind a Workout Buddy\nAccountability! Accountability! Accountability! Finding a workout buddy is a great way to get through cold-weather workouts. The social interaction will rejuvenate you, and the opportunity to set goals and meet people who will motivate you.\n\nBenefits of Working Out in the Cold\nWorking out in the cold weather can help you stay fit, keep your mind sharp, and ward off winter illnesses. \n\nCombat Seasonal Affective Disorder\nShorter days and less natural light can take a toll on your emotional and mental state. While exercise is known to be a mood booster year-round, it’s especially important during the colder months when sunlight and endorphins are in short supply. Fresh air and exercise will help overcome and prevent Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), anxiety, and depression.  \n\nBoost Your Immune System\nRegular physical activity is great for maintaining a strong immune system, which is especially vital in the colder months when viral diseases are running rampant. It may be tempting to stay inside and stay away from others, but working out in cold weather will actually help you build up the resistance you need if a bug ever comes your way.\n\nDiverse Training Options\nDo you know what you can’t do in the summer? Ski! Snowboard! Ice skate! Play hockey on the lake! The cold weather offers numerous exciting exercise opportunities that don’t even feel like working out! \n\nBurn More Calories\nThis may sound like a myth but stay with us.
