BUT MOST OF ALL. IT MUST BE FUN

A Boxing Fitness workout typically has these four phases:

Warm-up. Typically the workout begins with 3 or 4 rounds of jumping rope. or alternatives include: jogging. Stretching is part of a good warm-up. Technique. For 2 to 3 rounds, you work to improve stance, punches, footwork, and combinations. This can be done using focus mitts, on a bag, or by “shadow boxing” in front of a mirror.

Focus Mitts and Punch Drills. For most people, the most enjoyable part of Boxing Fitness is working on punching. During this part of the workout, you work through a series of attack and defensive routines. During this time, you continue to work in 2-minute rounds, with a 45 to 60 second rest in between. There are a wide variety of punch drills that anyone can do in front of a mirror, on a bag, or with a partner.

Each round, you add one or two new things to the routine. For instance, you might start with jabs the first round. Then you introduce the right hand to the second round, and mix up some combinations. The third round you might add some ducking. And so on.

There is no limit to the variety you can introduce during Punch Drill training.

Finish The final 10 or 15 minutes of a workout can be the most challenging. You have a number of options, depending on your goals: stretching, abdominal/core work, arm strengthening, sprints, endurance training, and/or lunges.
