Bootcamp Boxing Circuit

I thought I would try something a bit different with my campers last week. Normally I do intervals when we do boxing but this time I decided I would let them loose at a self paced circuit.

Boxing Circuit

*I got very creative with the name 🙂

Type: Boxing, Circuit

Duration: 45 minutes

Equipment: Boxing Gloves, Kick Pads, Sand Bag, Heavy Bag

Warm Up

Shadow boxing using some of the drills below.

Circuit

Set up the following eight stations in a large circuit. Clients are to complete the circuit in order at their own pace (they will need to be in pairs).

I had intended for my class to do the circuit twice, but we only ended up getting through it once due to some overestimating on my part. If you want your group to do 2 rounds read my suggestions below each station.

Stations:

1 – Punch Ladder and Squat Thrust Combo

Boxer does 20 jab-crosses. Both boxer and pad holder do 2 squat thrusts (burpee without the jump and push up). Boxer does 18 jab-crosses. Both do 2 squat thrusts. Boxer does 16 jab-crosses and so on until the final round of 2 jab-crosses.

To speed this one up go down by 4 punches each set instead of 2.

2 – Ground and Pound

Straddle (mount?) a heavy bag lying on the ground and do 100 punches. Partners take it in turns to complete (one rests, one punches).

Do 50 reps to speed this one up.

3 – Squat Station

10x Squat Jumps followed 10x (each side) Sandbag to Shoulders (squat down and lift sandbag off ground to one shoulder, place back on the ground and repeat). The pair completes this station together.

Do just 5 reps of each exercise each round to speed up.

4 – Boxer’s Shuttle

Set up two cones 10 metres apart, lets call them cone A and cone B. The pair start at cone A with the boxer doing 20 uppercuts. Then the boxer runs from cone A to cone B, back to cone A and then finishes on cone B. Meanwhile the pad holder just trots over to cone B and waits for the boxer. Repeat for a total of 6 times and then swap pads and gloves.

To speed up just do 3 rounds each.

5 – Punch Ladder and Push Up Combo

Boxer does 2 jab-crosses. Both boxer and pad holder do 2 push ups. Boxer does 4 jab-crosses. Both do 2 push ups. Boxer does 6  jab-crosses and so on until the final round of 20 jab-crosses.

To speed this one up go up by 4 punches each set instead of 2.

6 – Kick Me

Set up a couple of kick pads at this station. Partner A does 10x front kicks (each side) and 10x knees (each side). Repeat 2 more times for a total or 3 times. Swap and repeat for partner B.

To speed up just do one round each.

7 – Core station

10x side plank high 5’s (each side) and 10x partner plank low 5’s. Repeat for a total of 3 times.

To speed up just do one round each.

8 – Box and Push

Set up two cones 10 metres apart (cone A and cone B). The boxer does 4 hard jab-crosses immediately followed by 4 fast jab-crosses. Then the boxer pushes pad holder from cone A to cone B. Repeat again at cone B for total of 4 sets. Swap pads and repeat.

To speed up just do two rounds each.
