Train at Home Part 1

When you are looking to increase your fitness level, cardio, or technique, you must train even on the off days. For instance if you workout or have a boxing or kickboxing class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, continue your training at home on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with Sundays as a rest day.

Here is a simple workout that will tax every musle and help increase your muscle endurance along with your cardio. You can begin this workout by running or shadowboxing to warm up your body. If you shadowbox do 3/3 minute rounds with 30 sec rest. Then continue with the following workout.

Home Workout 1: The Burnout
Perform the following workout as a circuit for 3 sets with 10 to 20 reps each. For beginners, I recommend to start with 10 reps for each workout.

Dumbbell Swing
DB Squat and Press
DB Row and Twist
Corkscrew
DB Bicep Curls
DB Tricep Extensions
Straight Leg Crunch
Seat Raises/ Thrusts
Isolated Box Crunch

Try this workout on your off days to gain muscle endurance and increase your cardio.



"Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do."
