They are advertised on infomercials and in magazines, and every new workout DVD that is released is finally supposed to have the miracle training program we've been waiting for.</p>
<p>Of course, most of these are bogus, but some are making a name for themselves as a high quality option that can motivate you for at home training sessions, get you into great shape, and help you achieve your fitness goals. One of the most popular, and most successful, available right now is the Georges St. Pierre Rushfit <a href="http://www.gsprushfit.com/" target="_blank">MMA workout DVD</a>. Designed around MMA fundamentals, it also works excellently for those interested in boxing training workouts at home, as well as other fighting disciplines of all kinds. Read on below for a full review of what this program offers.<span id="more-626"></span><strong> </strong></p>

<p>The Rushfit home exercise workout DVD program is a complete 8-week home training camp, designed to get you into fantastic shape, and to peak your conditioning and strength by the end of the program. Everything that you do builds upon itself as you learn new exercises, training fundamentals and routines, and add to your capability to work harder, complete more and push yourself through.</p>
<p>The Georges St. Pierre workouts take just 45 minutes to complete per day, and are broken down into efficient circuit program five-minute rounds, designed to maximize fat burning and conditioning. You'll be training like one of the best fighters on the planet, and that's always a good thing to emulate with any home exercise workout DVD program.</p>
<p>You'll focus on the true keys to your body, such as core stability and strength, explosive power, endurance, flexibility and more, and if you stay focused and complete this program, you'll get into fantastic shape, with loads more muscle and a highly defined, ripped body.</p>
<p>No experience is needed in MMA or fighting, and it doesn't matter who you are, what your background is, or what your current level of fitness is. The Rushfit training DVDs from Georges St. Pierre can work wonders for just about anybody who is motivated to succeed.</p>
<p>Here's what you get with the Rushfit MMA workout DVDs:</p>
<ul>

<li>Abdominal Strength &amp; Core Conditioning DVD</li>
<li>The Fight Conditioning Workout DVD</li>
<li>Explosive Power Training DVD</li>
<li>Full Body Strength &amp; Conditioning DVD</li>
<li>Bonus Workouts: Balance &amp; Agility and Stretching for Flexibility</li>
<li>A workout guide to use with the Rushfit MMA workout DVDs, a nutritional guide, training plans to track your schedule and your progress</li>
</ul>
<p>The only extra equipment you need for the Rushfit MMA home workout DVDs is a pair of dumbbells, or a few pairs of dumbbells. So you don't need to spend a lot of money on equipment or supplies, which is great.</p>
<p>Plus, the entire program comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. That means you can complete the entire training program over a period of two months, and if you still aren't completely satisfied, you can get your money back.</p>
<p>The entire 8-week training program is available for purchase for $90, and that can be broken into three payments of $29.99 when you buy from the website. Alternatively, you can choose to buy different workout DVDs individually for $19.99, or buy a four DVD combo from the GSP Rushfit series for $69.99.</p>
<p>Ultimately, this is an intense and effective home exercise workout DVD based around mixed martial arts and fighting, and therefore it also transfers great to those pursuing at home boxing workouts and boxing training routines. You'll need to work hard and follow the plan, but when you do, the results will be great, as your strength explodes, you torch fat and calories, and you get into the best shape of your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-622" title="medicine ball with rope" src="http://boxingequipment247.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/medicine-ball-with-rope-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />It's no secret that <a href="http://www.proboxing-fans.com/boxing-101/boxing-training/medicine-balls/">medicine ball training for boxing</a> goes back hundreds of years, if not thousands, and is one of the true signature components of any effective boxing training routine. Luckily though, boxing training has indeed advanced over the years, and that allows us today to use some of the signature, classic techniques of the past while adding new elements, refining and making adjustments to get superior results.</p>
<p>One of these additions or refinements are medicine ball ropes. You may have heard them called swing core medicine balls, tornado medicine balls, or simply medicine balls with ropes. Regardless of what you know them as, they can be an incredibly effective training tool, boosting your strength and conditioning and taking your game to the next level.</p>
<p><span id="more-585"></span></p>
<p><strong>Two of the most important aspects of training in boxing will be your core strength, and your overall conditioning</strong>. Core strength will help you unleash more power with your punches, present a sturdier frame, hold up to someone else's attacks more, and on down the line, while making your entire body stronger as well. Conditioning is what you need to push for all 3 minutes of a round, to keep going out there for the next round, and to get into fantastic physical shape.</p>

<p>A medicine ball with rope set will help you with both of these two distinct and important areas amazingly effectively. Medicine balls have always been effective for core training, and have been used for total body strength training as well. But swing core medicine balls allow you to take things up a notch and complete totally <strong>new and innovative exercises for boxing training routines</strong>.</p>
<p>For example, you can stand with your back against a wall - either a brick wall, padded gym wall or other solid wall, <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NOT dry wall</strong></span></em> - and hold the medicine ball with rope in both your hands. Raise it off the ground, and then swing it from side to side, hitting the wall on each side, and maintaining the rope and ball so that it's about parallel to the ground and ceiling. This will absolutely blast your midsection, targeting all of your abdominals, your obliques, the hidden core muscles that are often hard to train, and much more, while also indirectly working on your arms, back and grip.</p>
<p>Perform the exercise for nonstop sets of 30 seconds to 60 seconds in length, and you'll feel it for your conditioning as well. Other potential exercises include over the head chops, spins and rotations of all kinds using one or two arms, and more. It can even be used with a training partner to help drill for defense and movement, as well as improving overall fitness, toughness and fighting ability.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that medicine ball ropes or swing core medicine balls are absolutely wonderful for boxing training, and can help you take your fitness and strength to the next level. No modern day boxing training routine should be without the helpful addition of one of these great tools!</p>
<p>One final note is that some medicine ball with rope sets have gotten negative reviews on popular consumer websites. Therefore, be sure to look around and find a model that works great for you, is high quality, and is widely respected by other individuals such as yourself. If you do that, you'll be able to bring one home and start reaping the benefits of a medicine ball rope set for your boxing strength and fitness training today.</p>

<h3>Learn how to Use Kettlebells for Boxing Strength Training</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Pick the Right Weight</strong>: You need to get kettlebells that are the right weight for you to handle. You want something that you'll be able to easily maneuver around, but something that is still challenging for you. There's an easy way to do this. Take a dumbbell in one hand and raise it straight over head. Lock your arm so you're supporting the weight, and hold it for about 10 seconds. Find the weight that is somewhat difficult but manageable for you to do that with, and buy the kettlebell in the next lowest weight. If you can lock out a 40 lb dumbbell in that way, then get the 35 lb kettlebell. If you can lock out a 25 lb dumbbell, get a 20 lb kettlebell.</li>
<li><strong>Learn Basic Moves</strong>: Many of the best kettlebell exercises revolve around a few of the same, basic movements to begin or finish the exercise. At the heart of a great deal of exercises, for example, is the kettlebell swing, so it's a logical place to start learning how to wield your kettlebell. Master basic moves like this before moving onto more complicated exercises and routines.</li>
<li><strong>Start two-handed</strong>: You should also be starting your kettlebell boxing strength training two-handed, as opposed to holding a kettlebell in each hand separately. Once again, this allows you to focus on learning technique and form while familiarizing yourself with the mechanics of the kettlebell.</li>
<li><strong>Train Muscle &amp; Cardio</strong>: One of the great benefits to using kettlebells for boxing strength training is that they will effectively train your muscles, while also providing a great cardio training routine, burning calories, and pushing your body to the limit in every way. Keep this in mind while you're training - you want to be working hard and pushing yourself, and not only should your muscles be tired, but your breathing and heart rate should be correspondingly high from the great effort and exertion.</li>
<li><strong>Add New Exercises and Moves</strong>: Now it's time to use more kettlebell exercises and training moves to raise the intensity and the effectiveness of your training. You can see a few of the <a href="http://boxingequipment247.com/2010/11/how-to-use-kettlebells-for-boxing-weight-training/">best kettlebell exercises for boxing strength training here</a>. Just a few moves like those can take your training and your body to the next level, and you'll be amazed at the results.</li>

<h3>Does the Ab Wheel Work? How and Why</h3>
<p>To get this question answered and out of the way right in the beginning, yes, the ab wheel does work. It really is a legitimate piece of equipment, and not only does it work, but after a few quick sessions you might be singing its praises as one of the best ab machines out there. There are many reasons for this, but ultimately, the most important thing to remember is that it produces results.</p>
<p>If you use it, you'll build your core muscle strength, and you'll get solid abs. Now, to be ripped like the guys and the ladies on the commercial, you'll still need to watch what you eat and make other appropriate lifestyle changes, but nevertheless, the ab wheel works for building ab and core strength.</p>
<p>Additionally, it's incredibly cheap - you can pick up one of the best ab wheels on the market for just $10 or $15. That means there's no reason not to get one. Finally, it's about six inches in size, which means space isn't a concern either. Take it out, use it in any room or area of your house, then toss it back in your closet, under a bed, or wherever else. It's that easy.</p>

<p><strong>So, what makes the ab wheel so effective, and how does it work? </strong>The key to understanding this is first understanding what your abdominal and core muscles are all about. To be successful with boxing core strength training, you have to know the blueprint to these muscles to begin with.</p>
<p>Your ab and core muscles are designed for the purpose of stabilization. Therefore, stabilization exercises are the best way to train them and to build them to be stronger and more solid. The ab wheel is one of the best ab machines for boxers because it uses stabilization while also stretching out your muscles. This tests them to the max, and the first time you use an ab wheel, you should feel that burn immediately.</p>
<p>Be sure to roll out the ab wheel all the way to achieve the best results, and hit every portion of your abdominals and not just the top muscles. Keep your core muscles tight and clenched, and hold the extended position for maximum effect. Training with an ab wheel is quick, easy and cheap, and it can be done anywhere, anytime and by anyone. For all of these reasons, it's one of the best ab machines for core strength training for boxers.</p>

<h3>The Medicine Ball with Handles</h3>
<p>So, what exactly is a medicine ball with handles? It's exactly what it sounds like, of course! It's just a standard medicine ball which has cutouts on the sides, allowing you to put your hands in and grip the ball. This is a major improvement over a traditional medicine ball which is completely spherical, making it difficult to be grabbed, tossed about, and used for certain exercises. Now you can just grab each side and complete your exercises without worrying about having to hold on extra tight or worrying about losing grip.</p>
<p>You'll find that a medicine ball with handles still comes in various weights and sizes. I always recommend a 10-12 lb medicine ball as your best bet, particularly if you don't have any others. This is an ideal weight for boxing strength training and all-purpose medicine ball ab exercises. But if you choose, you'll find 8 lb options, 15 lb options, and others both lighter and heavier.</p>
<p>Another interesting note is that some medicine balls with handles actually only have the handle on one side. This makes them very similar in conceptualization and usage to a kettlebell.</p>
<p>If you've been using a traditional medicine ball, you'll probably notice that these feel a little bit different as you use them. Not only are you holding on via grips, but the cutouts force a redistribution of the weight within the medicine ball. That's a lot of interior space that literally cannot have any of the weight, so the rest of the ball will be more solid and condensed than you would otherwise find.</p>

Now I wanted to revisit that, and do so with a different twist, talking about how kettlebells are all you really need for your boxing weight training. You can completely eliminate dumbbells, barbells and other weight machines with a pair or two of kettlebells. Use them for a circuit training workout, or focus on adding pure strength and explosive power, or both.</p>
<p>Take a look at this quick guide talking about using kettlebells for a boxing weight training program, the benefits, and the knowledge you need to get the job done correctly. Once you see it for yourself, then you'll definitely want to go ahead and buy yourself some to get started on an effective strength training program that provides total body fitness, endurance, power and much more.</p>

<p>Kettlebells provide numerous different benefits for boxers. For one thing, most of the exercises that you complete with them are going to be <strong>compound exercises</strong>, meaning they incorporate multiple joints and multiple muscle groups. This helps you get stronger in less time, and releases more testosterone into your blood to boost the benefits even further.</p>
<p>You're also targeting the <strong>biggest and most important muscle groups</strong> with your boxing weight training program utilizing kettlebells. Forget about bicep curls and all of the rest of that garbage that doesn't do anything. Hit up the major muscle groups, and you'll also be working those minor muscle groups at the same time, while actually increasing your strength and power, and not just your appearance.</p>
<p>Due to their shape, kettlebells also bring in more of your stabilizing and supporting muscle groups for each and every exercise during a boxing weight training program. A kettlebell is shaped like a cannonball with a handle, for lack of a better description. This creates an off-center balance of gravity, and it leads to different muscular needs while working out with them. This takes the place of the very easy to work with and predictable, evenly distributed weight pattern of a dumbbell.</p>
<p>You'll also be <strong>burning more calories in less time</strong>, and you'll be improving your cardio capabilities and muscle endurance, too. That's why you can use kettlebells as a part of a complete circuit training workout for boxing as well. Not only do they lead to great strength gains, across all of the most important muscle groups in the body, but they also hit up your cardio as well. That's a lot of benefits from one simple piece of equipment, and that's why kettlebells are so great for boxing weight training.

<h3>Best Kettlebell Exercises for Boxing Weight Training</h3>
<p>There are many different boxing weight training exercises that you can complete with kettlebells. Here's just a small sampling, with a brief description of each.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kettlebell clean and press</strong>: Hold a kettlebell in each hand, squating down to the floor to pick them up. Swing them between your legs and then explode upwards, twisting your wrists to complete a power clean. Then press them overhead to complete the second half of the movement, and return to the starting position. You'll be working your hamstrings, core, arms, back and shoulders all in one exercise. A few sets of this and you, and your muscles, will be exhausted.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Two Handed Kettlebell swings</strong>: Hold one kettlebell with both hands, and squat to the floor to pick it up between your legs. Swing it behind yourself, and then stand up and swing it forward, holding your arms straight out in front of you. Focus on generating power from your legs and hips, and not moving the kettlebells with your arms or other momentum. Fantastic for the hamstrings and core, and a great cardio-strength combination exercise.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Kettlebell TGU's</strong>: That's Turkish Get Up, and you start this boxing weight training move by lying on your back on the floor. Grab a kettlebell in one hand and hold it straight over your head. Using the help of your other hand, sit up and then stand up into a squat. Continue holding the kettlebell straight over head the entire time, and then stand straight up in the air, before reversing the motion back to the beginning. A great core exercise that also works on your arms, shoulders and legs.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Pull-Ups &amp; Chin-Ups</strong>: I've written a lot about using <a href="http://boxingequipment247.com/2009/01/boxing-strength-exercises-mastering-the-pull-up-and-chin-up/"><strong>pull-ups and chin-ups for boxing</strong></a> in the past, and it's no secret, they are one of the most effective exercises for boxing strength training, period. The fact that they are also bodyweight exercises is what makes them worthwhile to include here as well. You'll end up targeting your upper and middle back, your arms and your core, but you won't bulk up or suffer any other drawbacks, making them essential for any boxing training program to boost strength and all-over fitness. Utilize different grips, ranging from wide grip pull-ups to narrow grip chin-ups, mixed grips, and more, for added benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Push Ups</strong>: Push-ups are another classic, and it's no surprise that they are on this list either. In fact, there's hardly another exercise that exists for the chest muscles, with weights or without, that is as effective as this staple of boxing strength training. You could argue the bench press, but considering the effects this has for your core and your arms, and the other benefits it provides, this wins out all the way. Use a narrow grip to put more emphasis on your triceps, and alternative techniques such as clapping push-ups and alternate grips for extra gains.</p>

<p><strong>Bodyweight &amp; Jumping Squats</strong>: A simple bodyweight squat is performed by standing straight up with your arms held straight in front of your body. Lower yourself until your butt is less than a foot off the floor, and then stand back up straight. For increased difficulty and effectiveness for boxing strength training, instead of just standing back up, explode back up into a vertical jump before landing and squating back down again. Great for the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.</p>
<p><strong>Hanging Leg Raises</strong>: The hanging leg raise is one of the best bodyweight exercises for any muscle group. They are particularly beneficial for boxing strength training because they work the entire core and midsection, which is crucial for boxing performance. Suspend yourself from a pull-up bar with a normal, shoulder-width grip, and then begin bringing your knees up and into your chest. Don't sway or use momentum, instead bring your knees straight up and then move your hips to get your knees in your chest, with your shins parallel to the floor and ceiling.</p>
<p><strong>Planks</strong>: There are many different varieties of planks that you can perform, all of which work wonders for boxing strength training. In your boxing training program, you can utilize standard push up planks, side planks, incline planks, the plank walk out and others. The basic push up plank is performed by assuming a push up position, but resting on your forearms instead of your palms. Hold the up phase for 30-60 seconds, while keeping your midsection tight, and then rest a minute and complete a few more sets.</p>
<p>Of course, there are many other bodyweight exercises that you can work into a complete boxing training program. These all work fantastically for boxing strength training, without requiring equipment, without requiring lots of time, and without interfering with the rest of your training and fitness goals. Start using these bodyweight boxing strength training exercises immediately for great results.</p>

<p>So now that you know why jump rope fitness plays such an integral role for boxers, it's time to get some tips and techniques for how to jump rope for boxing. First, as mentioned above, you should use a jump rope at the beginning and end of your workout. In the beginning, spend two to three rounds jumping rope and you'll work up a good sweat, get your body nice and loose, and start working on that conditioning. When you're done with your workout, jumping rope will keep your body loose and injury free, and will pound out some more cardio work before you call it a day.</p>
<p>There are many different ways to jump rope for boxing. The most familiar is what you could call the boxer's cadence or shuffle. You don't jump and down with both feet at the same time. One foot gets raised as the other shuffles or jumps twice, and then you switch feet and repeat continually. The foot that gets raised and the shuffling foot only minimally move off the ground, you don't make really big jumps.</p>
<p>You can also jump up with both feet at once, or you could try a jogging in place rhythm. Most often, you'll be switching between these three different techniques as you go. All of them are effective and work a little bit different, but you want to focus in on getting that boxing shuffle and rhythm down.</p>
<p>Once you have a good comfort level with jump rope boxing, then you can move onto practicing double jumps and other moves. A double jump, or really a double pass with the rope, is when you complete two loops of the jump rope above your head and under your feet in just one jump off the ground, jumping with both feet at once. You need to jump higher and move the rope quicker to get it done, and it will take some practice, but once you can start stringing that together, then you'll really be making progress.</p>

<p>Advanced jump rope boxing includes lots of double and even triple passes of the rope in single jumps, as well as crossing the rope in front of the body as you jump, and mixing in other moves and techniques too. Part of it is to keep up the intensity of the training, and part of it is to keep your mind occupied and easy going as you move along, instead of losing focus or getting bored. Another technique for that is simply counting your passes of the rope, and seeing how high you can get without slipping up, or setting a goal of say 100 or 200 consecutive passes without a slip up, and continuing to train until you reach that goal.</p>
<h3>Speed Jump Ropes vs. Weighted Jump Ropes</h3>
<p>So as you're learning how to jump rope for boxing, should you be using speed jump ropes or weighted jump ropes? It's really a matter of preference. When you're starting out for the first time though, you should stick with a speed jump rope, which will be easier to get the hang of, and will be more conducive to learning for beginners. Weighted jump ropes will generally take a bit more skill and stamina, and will work the muscles a little bit more as you go along.</p>
<p>Both can be very effective tools for overall jump rope fitness, and as mentioned, it all comes down to what you're comfortable with, and what you'd like to continue doing. Try out different styles, lengths and weights, and you'll find a system and a tool that works best for you.</p>
<p>Hopefully by now you have a better idea of what it means to learn how to jump rope for boxing, and can put these jump rope boxing and fitness tips and techniques to use in your own training. It provides a ton of benefits, and the dividends will begin to show immediately.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-533" style="margin: 2px 5px;" title="Boxing Mitts" src="http://boxingequipment247.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pads.jpg" alt="" width="96" height="96" />Whether you call them boxing mitts, focus mitts, punching mitts or anything else, they can be effectively used for boxing training at home, allowing you to take advantage of all of their great benefits. This includes improving your technique and timing, and developing a complete and cohesive boxing game that includes both offense and defense. It's no longer true that you need to belong to a boxing gym in order to utilize training with punching mitts. Now, you can have one buddy or training partner come over, and the two of you can train together, alternating turns for who punches and who holds the mitts. Alternatively, for the more industrious out there, you can even setup your mitts on stationary or moving targets, and then you can train in boxing at home using punching mitts without the help of a single other person.</p>
<p>In this article though, we'll focus on using boxing mitts for training in boxing at home with the help of a buddy and partner. The two of you can work together using these tips, drills and techniques to improve your game and start seeing drastically better results in no time at all.<br />

<p>There are many different techniques and drills you can perform with boxing mitts at home as long as you have a partner, and you can enjoy many different benefits. One of the primary points however is focusing on targeted, accurate, crisp and well-timed punches. It's one thing to know how to throw a nice left hook, or to be able to throw it at a large, immobile target like a punching bag. But it's another thing entirely when a target pops up and then disappears, is at a very specific, small location, and requires you to hit in the perfect way. This is what boxing training mitts really enable you to do.</p>
<p>Besides sparring, it's the best practice for throwing precise and crisp shots. You will learn how to land your punches at the right distance, so the full force of your power explodes on the target, instead of pushing into it, or reaching for the target after your peak extension. You'll also be working on your timing and your accuracy, hitting exact locations, throwing punches to different spots, and all of these specific skills that are often overlooked in basic training, but are really the foundation of improvement and actually fighting in the ring.</p>

<p>Don't forget though that with boxing mitts you can also work on your defense with the help of your training partner. As you're throwing combinations, your partner can wing shots at your head that you have to duck under before countering. Or your partner can feint punches, or keep a mitt in front of your face to obstruct your vision. With all of these tactics, you'll learn how to maneuver your body and head in the right ways so as to avoid being hit with counters, while still being on your offensive game.</p>
<p>That's the most important thing as well, boxing training at home often misses out on the development of a cohesive and well-rounded boxing game. You might understand offensive techniques and defensive moves, but without that sparring and other training, can you really develop a game that transitions smoothly between the two worlds, and allows you to be at your best at all times and in all situations? When you're working on the mitts, you'll learn to incorporate defensive moves with punches, and you'll learn how to put your shots together at close range, at different angles, in different orders and more. It's a fantastic way, and the only real way without sparring, to add this amount of skill to your game.</p>
<h3>When to Use the Boxing Mitts During your Training Routine</h3>
<p>I generally recommend that you spend time on the mitts before you use the heavy bag. In this way, you're still at your freshest, and you can focus on delivering quick but technical punches with a high amount of power as well. After you spend five rounds on the heavy bag, your form is going to be decreasing and you won't be able to reap all of the benefits of really honing and refining your skills.</p>
<p>Therefore, while you can do anything that you'd prefer, I recommend to jump into using the punching mitts as soon as you're warmed up. Don't switch off between the puncher and the mitts-guy every round either. Spend 3-5 rounds performing one role before switching, to keep you in the right mindset and physical state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-524" title="Ab Board" src="http://boxingequipment247.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/abboard-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="126" />Few parts of the body get more attention paid to them while training for boxing than the abs. For boxers, the abs are extremely important, and it's more than just looking good when you're in the ring. Your abs and your core muscles are a huge source of the power that you generate while throwing punches. Of course, they are also responsible for eating up all of those body punches and keeping you standing on your feet while somebody else is trying to chop you down.</p>
<p>Therefore, learning some of the best abs exercises for boxers is crucial, and it's time to get more creative than just your typical crunches. Crunches and weighted machines don't target your entire abdominal and core muscles, and some of these movements can either be uncomfortable or can lead to injury and unnecessary strain. Instead, start to incorporate these techniques and movements while you're training for boxing and you'll be on your way to a solid, ripped and powerful midsection. You'll never have to do an annoying crunch ever again... I promise!</p>
<p><span id="more-523"></span></p>
<h2>Best Abs Exercises for Boxing - Never do a Crunch Again</h2>
<p>1. <strong>Push-Up Planks</strong>: Push-up planks are definitely at the head of the list for the best abs exercises for boxers to complete, and these are easy to get used to. These are great for real, functional abdominal strength because your abs are meant to support and stabilize, and this is exactly what this exercise works on. Get into a standard push-up position, but instead of supporting your weight on your palms, lean on your elbows while keeping your body in a rigid, straight line. In that "up" position, clench your core muscles as tight as you can, and hold the pose for 30 seconds. Rest for 30 seconds and repeat twice.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Variation</strong>: For added difficulty, there are a variety of other plank style exercises you can complete while training for boxing. For example, you can elevate your feet about two feet off the ground for a much harder version of the plank. You can also do a side plank, with your body perpendicular to the ground, only resting on one arm and alternating sides.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Hanging Leg Raises</strong>: Hanging leg raises might be my personal favorite amongst the best ab exercises that boxers can do for great, solid strength. Hang with your arms extended from a <a href="http://boxingequipment247.com/store/strength-and-fitness/doorway-chin-up-bar"><strong>doorway chin up ba</strong></a>r, using a normal pull-up grip. Keep your back straight and keep your head looking straight forward. Now bring your hips back so that you can bring your knees up towards your midsection, ending in a position where your shins are parallel to the floor. Be sure not to swing yourself or use momentum, and keep that back straight. Perform as many reps as possible, resting 60 seconds in between sets.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Variation</strong>: Once you've mastered the hanging leg raise, then try making it harder with hanging pikes. The same basic movement applies, but instead of raising your knees to your midsection and stopping, extend your legs straight up towards the ceiling in a "V" shape. Again, keep your back straight and your core tight as you complete the movement, and perform as many as possible in each set. You'll really feel this all up and down your abdominals for a great burn.</p>

<p>3. <strong>Lying Toe Touches</strong>: I'm always a big proponent of training for boxing with <a href="http://boxingequipment247.com/store/strength-and-fitness/medicine-balls"><strong>medicine balls</strong></a> and this is one of the best abs exercises with medicine balls that you can perform. Lie down on your back on the floor, with a medicine ball by your head. Raise your legs straight into the air and keep them in that position. Grab the medicine ball and hold it behind your head with your arms extended straight. Now raise the medicine ball and touch your toes with it, keeping your legs still, your arms straight and doing the reaching with your core. Lower and repeat, performing 12-20 repetitions per set.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Russian Twists</strong>: Here's another one of the best abs exercises for boxers that uses a medicine ball. Sit down with both of your feet on the floor and hold a medicine ball with both hands in your midsection. Lean back so your upper body is at about a 45 degree angle, and lift your feet a few inches off the ground. Twist your upper body to one side, and carry the medicine ball as far as you can without losing your balance. Then swing the ball back across your body and all the way to the other side, completing 20 turns in each direction per set. If you lose your balance or get tired, just regroup in a quick second and complete the set.</p>
<p>5.<strong> Bird Dogs</strong>: Bird dogs are similar to push-up planks because you'll be using your core muscles in the way they're designed - for support and stabilization. Get down on all fours, resting on your knees and palms, with your back straight and your head looking straight forward. Extend your left leg straight back and your right arm straight forward, locking each limb out and keeping your core as tight as possible. Hold the pose for 10 seconds, and then use the opposite limbs, right leg and left arm. Alternate sides for between 3-5 reps per side, rest for one minute, and complete another set or two. Another great abs exercise for boxers that really targets the entire midsection while providing functional strength.</p>
<p>When you stick with these 5 best abs exercises for boxers, you'll never have to worry about machines or crunches ever again, and you'll enjoy truly fantastic results with great a rock solid core and a chiseled, functionally strong midsection.</p>

<p><strong>Must Have #1 – The Doorway Chin Up Bar</strong> – A doorway chin up bar or a wall mounted pullup bar can help you immensely with your boxing strength training. It's the perfect piece of equipment because it's cheap, can be easily used anywhere without eating up a lot of your time and it targets some of the most important muscles in your body.</p>
<p>Since you are utilizing your own bodyweight to train as opposed to bulky free weights or machines, you don't have to worry about training in the wrong ways, or losing your speed or flexibility as a result of your added strength.</p>
<p>Pull ups can target your major back muscle groups, while also hitting your forearms and core muscles as well. Chin ups do the same but also place emphasis on your biceps. Then you can perform hard hitting abdominal movements such as hanging leg raises and hanging leg pikes that target each and every one of your core muscles, building a rock solid midsection without doing a single crunch.

<p><strong>Must Have #2 – The Medicine Ball </strong>– The next must have for boxing strength training is the medicine ball. This is one of the classic boxing training tools that has seemingly been around forever.</p>
<p>With a medicine ball you will be able to perform all kinds of movements and exercises, targeting many of your major muscle groups with ease. You can take almost any abdominal movement and add in a medicine ball for increased difficulty, for example simple medicine ball crunches and leg lifts, lying toe touches holding a medicine ball and much, much more.</p>
<p>You can also incorporate a medicine ball into an entire circuit training and cardio training program as well. The possibilities are endless, from performing uneven pushups to jump squats holding a medicine ball and on down the line.

<p><strong>Must have #3 – The Kettlebell</strong> – The third and final must have piece of gear for boxing strength training at home is the kettlebell. Actually, you should ideally pick up two kettlebells of the same weight so you have a set and can perform all of the potential exercises that are available to you.</p>
<p>Kettlebells help provide great strength training benefits because of their unique shape and off-balance center of gravity. This makes your body work extra hard to maneuver the weights and it forces you to incorporate your core muscles and stabilizers along the way. With one set of kettlebells you can target all of your major muscle groups, from your legs to your chest, to your back to your arms and everything in between, all right from your home.</p>
<p>Kettlebells might seem expensive for boxing strength training, but just consider that you won't need to invest in any other weights, let alone any pricey gym memberships, and you'll see that the price pays for itself. See more <a href="../../../../../2010/01/kettlebells-for-boxing-strength-training/">kettlebell exercises and ideas for boxers</a>.</p>

<p>It's impossible to cover every piece of abdominal fitness equipment in one article, so this is just an overview of some of the highlights, emphasizing the machines that really work for boxers and anybody interested in training in boxing.</p>
<p>One of the best and actually one that you might be surprised to see on this list is the basic abs roller or abs wheel. Even though this was an infomercial favorite, it's actually extremely effective. It works wonders because it stretches all of your core muscles, not just your prospective six pack, and it <strong>forces those muscles to tighten and stabilize</strong>, which is the most effective way to train your abs.</p>
<p>Sit-ups have gone out of vogue in recent years, and it's true that there are now many other exercises that can effectively train your core muscles besides a basic sit-up.</p>
<p>However, sit-ups performed on a bench with a decline are a classic boxing technique and are much more effective than standard sit-ups. They offer a <strong>far greater degree and range of motion</strong>, really targeting your lower abs as well as upper abs.</p>

<p>If you purchase an adjustable piece of abdominal fitness equipment like this that allows for several different degrees of declination, you'll really get a great, fine-tuned workout for boxing. For that reason they are one of the best abs machines for boxers to utilize.</p>
<p>Another great choice will be <strong>back extension stations</strong>. You have probably seen this kind of abdominal fitness equipment around at the gym even if you didn't know what it was called.</p>
<p>These really target your core muscles such as the ones in your <strong>lower back and your obliques</strong>, while also hitting some of your abdominals on the front side of your body as well. They are really great for boxing strength training, and when used properly can also help you to avoid injuries to your lower back as well.</p>

<p>A great way to incorporate a jumping rope workout into your boxing routine therefore is to plan on<strong> jumping rope for two to three rounds at the beginning or end of your session</strong>. The catch though is that you shouldn't rest between rounds, keep it going nonstop for maximum effect.</p>
<p>In terms of specific jump rope exercises, you'll have to learn how to jump rope from the beginning if you haven't been doing it recently. Over time you'll gain a great sense of natural rhythm and pace for how to proceed and get going. Focus on keeping your arms largely still as you move, only moving your upper legs slightly and really <strong>keying in on jumping with your toes and feeling the movement in your calves</strong>.</p>
<p>To kick up the intensity, you can try <strong>repeated double swings</strong>, where you pass the jump rope under your feet twice for each jump. This takes great coordination, focus and timing, as well as wrist and arm speed.</p>
<p>You can also trying<strong> running in place </strong>for a set amount of time, such as 30 seconds or a minute. Another popular variation of the standard jump rope exercises is to try 1o 0r 20 jumps in a row on one foot with your other foot held out in front of you, and then to continue alternating feet for as long as you can.</p>
<p>Finally to change things up you can sometimes try jumping with both feet at the same time, as opposed to the natural cadence you'll get into as a boxer, switching your feet calmly with small, light movements.</p>
<p>To keep yourself powering through a routine you can always<strong> try to set a personal record</strong> for how many times you can jump without messing up, or you can set a goal for one of several kinds of the above jump rope exercises such as 20 successful double swings before you can move on with the rest of your routine.</p>

When used properly, they can provide a wonderful boost to many areas of your game, including your speed, your strength and power, and your stamina and endurance as well. Take a look at some of the ways that a pair of weighted boxing gloves can help you out, whether you are training in boxing at home or looking to kick things up another gear at the gym.</p>
<p><span id="more-476"></span><strong>First of all, what exactly are weighted bag gloves for boxing?</strong></p>

<p>Depending on who you ask, weighted bag gloves can be any training gloves heavier than would be used in the ring, which means more than 12 ounces, or they could specifically refer to gloves that have additional weights that can make them weigh upwards of 2 lbs, or even 5 lbs. In the case of the former, you might find a pair of boxing bag gloves that weighs 16 to 20 ounces, solely due to its design and its padding. These are great all purpose gloves and can be used for heavy bag training, mitt work, sparring and more.</p>
<p>With the latter, you can find some weighted boxing gloves that actually allow you to take in and remove extra weights, giving you full control and incremental weight abilities that you can adjust. The weights will be small and weigh possibly from a quarter to a half a pound.</p>
<p>You'll also find some open fingered weighted boxing gloves that are just for use on the bags and for shadow boxing, as opposed to sparring. These can be great for boxing training at home depending on your own specific needs and what you're looking for from your equipment</p>
<h2>The Benefits of Weighted Boxing Gloves</h2>
<p>When you train with a pair of weighted bag gloves for boxing, you'll see a wide range of benefits. The first of which is an<strong> increase in speed</strong>. When your body gets used to throwing punches with all of that extra weight, you'll be amazed at how fast you're able to throw when you have on a pair of standard 8, 10 or 12 ounce gloves. It's the same principle as a baseball hitter training with heavier bats, or taking warmup swings with a donut on his bat.</p>

<p>You'll also see that you can <strong>build up your strength </strong>and power as well. Of course, more speed equals more power, but while you're training with these weighted gloves you'll really be able to enhance your shoulder and arm muscles. You'll also be able to harness more of your natural power through your form and technique when you don't have to swing the extra weight of the gloves.</p>
<p>Finally, when you use weighted gloves for training in boxing you'll also <strong>improve your stamina</strong> as well. It's easy for your arms to get tired at the end of a round, whether you're training, sparring or actually competing. When you burn out your arms using weighted boxing gloves, you will be preparing your arms and shoulders for a much greater workload than they will have to normally deal with.</p>
<p>When you switch back to a pair of standard gloves, you'll seemingly be able to punch for hours on end. Your shoulders and arms will have endless energy reserves from all of that time swinging those heavy gloves around.</p>
<p>Hopefully by now you should have a better idea about what boxing gloves with extra weights are all about.

<p><strong>Russian Twists</strong>: Take a seat on the floor, as if you were in the up position of a completed sit-up. Hold a medicine ball with both hands in front of your body, then elevate your feet several inches off the ground. Also lean back so you're upper body is at a 45 degree angle to the ground. Twist your body and swing the medicine ball as far to the right as you can, then repeat the movement to the other side.</p>
<p>Do your best to maintain your balance, and complete 20 repetitions on each side per set. If your feet touch the ground or you fall back just resume the position and continue on.</p>
<p><strong>Lying Toe Touches</strong>: Lie on your back and hold a medicine ball with both hands, with your arms stretched out behind your head. Raise your legs so they are at a 90 degree angle to the floor. Raise the medicine ball overhead and touch your toes with it, lowering the ball slowly and keeping your arms extended straight the whole time. Complete 12-20 repetitions per set.</p>
<p><strong>Medicine Ball Crunches</strong>: These are simply crunches done while holding a medicine ball for added weight and resistance. Hold the ball with both hands at chest level, but don't rest it on your body. From the starting position with your back on the floor you only need to raise yourself about six to 12 inches off the ground.</p>

<p><strong>Lopsided Push Ups</strong>: Assume a standard push up position, and have a medicine ball in between your two hands. Now push it to your right, and place your right hand on top of it. Perform five push ups in this style, then push the ball to your other hand and perform another five. Complete as many repetitions as possible.</p>
<p>This is one of the best medicine ball exercises for upper body strength, and it adds a lot of difficulty to a standard push up. It will also help with your body's coordination and stability.</p>
<p><strong>Squats into Shoulder Presses</strong>: Hold the medicine ball at chest level in front of your body, standing straight up. Squat all the way down to the ground, pause for a second and then return to an upright position. As you do so, press the medicine ball over head to move into a shoulder press exercise. Complete 20 repetitions of the entire movement per set.</p>
<p><strong>360 Degrees of Medicine Ball</strong>: Stand straight up and hold a medicine ball with both hands, with your arms hanging straight. Tighten up your core, then begin forming a giant circle with the medicine ball in front of your body, always keeping your arms fully extended and straight. Complete 10 repetitions clockwise, then complete another 10 repetitions counterclockwise. It's a very effective medicine ball routine for hitting all of those hard to reach abdominal and core muscles.</p>
<p>If you're a boxer looking to utilize some of these great medicine ball workouts and routines, what kind of medicine ball should you choose to utilize? There is a huge variety today, and you can view a complete sampling on our <a href="http://boxingequipment247.com/store/strength-and-fitness/medicine-balls">medicine balls</a> store page.</p>
<p>I generally recommend opting for a 10 or 12 lb medicine ball for boxing training. This provides you with enough resistance to really build some functional strength, but it's also not too heavy so you can utilize your tool for a greater variety of workouts, and you can build stamina as well.</p>
<p>You can view some of the deals that are available on this page to find a product that's perfect for you to work with for these medicine ball exercises for boxing training.</p>
