After a period of training due to various work commitments and also a golfer's elbow injury, my client returned for the eighth hour of his current Senior Boxing Personal Training. We used the time to revise previous material using the live specific sparring round format and also to go through some light weight work.
Senior Boxing Personal Training: Revision
We sparred for the following 3-minute rounds:
Jabs only. The most important punch in boxing, this round is a great way to warm back into training. It trains distancing and range, attack and defence.
Body shots only. This type of sparring is great for building up confidence again as well as promoting better flow, as boxers are forced to go in at mid and close range.
Lead hand only. We shifted back to the "upstairs" in boxing. This is a good extension of the jabbing round with boxers working out ways to adapt their single striking hand.
Jab to the head/jab-cross to the body. Here we combine the "upstairs" with the "downstairs," providing a good sequel to both jabs only and body shots only sparring.
Free-sparring. Keeping the intensity down for the client's return lesson, he now had a chance to work on everything.
Senior Boxing Personal Training: Rehabilitation
With my client having a golfer's elbow issue, we made the decision to do some lower body training to work on improving his range of mobility while not aggravating the injury. I chose the following programme:
Wall squats to test range of movement and squat form.
Goblet squats to help open the hips.
Cossack squat/lunge combination. This series of squats and dynamic stretches is a great way to improve overall leg mobility under tension.
We went through some basic golfer's elbow exercises:
Dynamic wrist stretches in all directions and rotations
Eccentric wrist flexion
Bicep curls
I train a wide range of clients. This senior client, in his 60s, has been with me since the beginning of 2025 and has had several courses, often training twice a week. Personal training means more focused and individualised work, which is coupled with the unique bespoke approach I take to my teaching. Consider booking your trial lesson today.
