If you're looking to get into shape and back up your physique, then look further. In this article, I will reveal the best boxing workout that is guaranteed to whip you into fighting shape.

What is the best boxing workout? Be specific.

Boxing is approximately 80% anaerobic and 20% aerobic, which is why I included interval training along with cardio and weight training. This workout combines strength, power, speed, agility and quickness all into one to ensure you're a well-balanced fighter.

If you're not looking to become a boxer, you will need all of these things for self defense and it can help you become a better athlete in your sport.

Before getting into the actual workout, let me go over the activities and exercises you will utilize in your workouts.

Jumping Rope:

There are many types of different jump rope skipping styles, but here are the three you will need.

Running In Place:

Remain stationary spot while lifting the knees high with each turn of the rope. This is the basic and easiest style of jumping rope.

• Double Unders:

  Make two turns of the rope for every one jump. This style is more difficult to learn so use it only when you have mastered the running in place style.

Criss-Cross:

Cross the arms at the elbows on the descending swing of the rope and jump through the loop. Uncross the arms on the next descending swing and repeat the process. This style is great when looking for a challenging way of jumping rope.

• Beginners looking to jump rope need to be patient, because it takes time to build your skills. If you tend to trip on the rope, don't become frustrated, just relax and try it again. Overtime, you will find it easy to jump rope and your skills will improve.

Shadow Boxing:

This is often performed as a warm-up before using the heavy bag. What you do is punch in the air using the reflection in the mirror as your opponent. Then perform some joint rotation exercises.
