What makes boxing neck training so ubiquitous is that in boxing there are 2 viable targets- the opponent’s head or the opponent’s torso.

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.

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.

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. It is far easier to adjust a body that is already moving than it is to move a body that is standing still.","How do you do a boxing line drill?\n",{"name":233,"created_at":234,"published_at":235,"updated_at":236,"id":237,"uuid":238,"content":1383,"slug":233,"full_slug":253,"sort_by_date":48,"position":254,"tag_list":1395,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":256,"first_published_at":257,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1396,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":240,"name":241,"category":1384,"component":39,"meta_info":1392,"block_image":1393,"cover_image":1394,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1385,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1390,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1391,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1386,"component":118,"meta_info":1387,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1388,"cover_image":1389,"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":243,"title":244,"plugin":43,"description":245},{"id":247,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":249,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":251,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":252,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"type":729,"content":1398},[1399,1404,1424,1429,1434,1438,1470,1474,1479,1489,1509,1513,1518,1522,1548,1552,1578,1582,1587,1599,1603,1613],{"type":742,"attrs":1400,"content":1401},{"level":744},[1402],{"text":1403,"type":736},"How to Get Better Head Movement in Boxing",{"type":732,"content":1405},[1406,1408,1415,1417,1422],{"text":1407,"type":736},"Head movement in boxing is one of the most impressive aspects of a boxing match.

Swimming laps around a pool use just about every muscle you have, and also get your lungs and heart rate working in no time! Try for however many laps you can at a smooth, steady pace.\n\n-Tabata Bag Drills\nOne great way to get your anaerobic endurance up is with Tabata drills on the heavy bag. By working the classic 10 seconds on, 5 seconds off rhythm at maximum effort for 1-3 minutes at a time, you very accurately mimic the actual rhythm and pace of a competitive match. You can find this drill in the FightCamp App under 10-to-5 Interval Sprint. This helps build your lactic acid threshold and arm endurance in addition to being great cardio training. Plus you get to punch something!\n\n-Footwork Heavy Sports\nThis might seem obvious but doesn’t cross a lot of people’s minds: playing any sport, even in a casual setting, is a great way to increase your cardio. For example, I have a soccer field near me so on days when I don’t feel like just jogging, I can usually find a pickup game there. Anything like soccer, basketball, tennis, or dancing are great ways to supplement cardio training and will help with your boxing footwork as an added bonus.\n\n-Hiking\nIf you have a local trail, it's always good to get out in nature every once in a while and hiking is a great way to get your resting heart rate down and your leg endurance up while still enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Just make sure to bring water and healthy snacks! \n\n-Shadowboxing Punchouts\nI used to do this one all the time during the height of the lockdown when I couldn’t necessarily get out to run very often but still needed to keep a baseline cardio fitness. The idea here is to find a rhythm with 4 punches (I use the jab, cross, lead uppercut, and rear uppercut) while maintaining proper form and repeating it as quickly as you can for as long as you can without taking a break. It's awesome for your shoulders and improves your punching form as well.","What are different forms of cardo exercises?",{"name":206,"created_at":207,"published_at":208,"updated_at":209,"id":210,"uuid":211,"content":1888,"slug":206,"full_slug":226,"sort_by_date":48,"position":227,"tag_list":1900,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":229,"first_published_at":230,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1901,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":213,"name":214,"category":1889,"component":39,"meta_info":1897,"block_image":1898,"cover_image":1899,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1890,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1895,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1896,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1891,"component":118,"meta_info":1892,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1893,"cover_image":1894,"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},[],[],{"type":729,"content":1903},[1904,1908,1913,1918,1943,1948,1972,1977,1991,1996,2010,2015,2019,2024,2028,2032,2042],{"type":732,"content":1905},[1906],{"text":1907,"type":736},"Boxing is a high-action sport, and fighters need a ton of stamina to keep the pace for an entire match.
