A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article on boxing, and how it is a great ‘alternative cardio’ option. I have had a lot of feedback on that article with people wanting to know more about how they should do it, and more importantly the best way to do it to burn fat. So here goes!…

I will talk about 3 basic moves. In all of them make sure you do not tuck your thumb under your fingers. And hit will the flat part of your wrist and keep it straight.

1/ Cross Punches – Stand up straight with your feet hip width apart. Raise your elbows up and alternately swing your arms reaching across to hit the pads.

2/ Uppercuts - Reach down and then scoop your arm upwards. Again with alternately arms keeping your elbows tucked in towards your ribs.

3/ Hooks – Start with your arm out sideways and slightly bent and drive it inwards towards the pads. Don’t bend your arm any more than it already is as you are doing it.

You should do each move for a minute. Work hard during the minute and rest in between each one so you ca recover enough to work really hard again in the next one.

Today’s Takeaway - Boxing will only work for you if YOU work hard at it. If you put the effort in, in terms of speed of punching and power, you will get a great fat burning workout.
