Hour six of my senior client's fifth Boxing course and we focused on an invaluable piece of training equipment: the mirror. Due to my client incurring what appears to be a slight muscular tear over the weekend, which is causing him discomfort from his neck to the bottom of his shoulder blade, I decided to work around it with mobility work, shadow boxing, agility drills and static stretching.
We followed this programme:
10 minute mobility training
Shadow boxing/agility training 3-minute rounds with 1-minute intervals of active rest (mobility exercises)
Head movement and footwork
Layering on straight punches
Layering on hooks and uppercuts
Cone drills - triangle forward and lateral movement with combinations
Ladder drills - chopping, icky shuffle, ali shuffle, in and out punching
Visualisation - shadow boxing against a taller opponent
Visualisation - shadow boxing against an aggressive opponent
Speed drills - straight punches, hooks and shoeshines
10 minute stretching
