END-OF-RUN OUTDOOR OR INDOOR BOXING-STYLE INTERVAL TRAINING workout to try. Are you Interested in performing high intensity interval training (HIIT) that’s a bit different from the usual routine? The Competitor.com article, “5 Moves Make Up This Effective At-Home Boxing Routine” written by Makenzie L. Havey with photos by Oliver Baker might be for you.
The 5 components aren’t as difficult as the moves I’ve done at a boxing workout class, and most are classic moves not thought to be strictly boxing-related (push-ups, bicycles, jumping jacks). The straight punches and uppercuts are definitely boxer-like moves. Performing 3-5 circuits sequentially (1 circuit = repeating each of the 5 moves for 1 minute without a rest in between + 1 minute of rest) makes this a HIIT routine. Depending on your usual workout, this one could ‘hit’ muscles you don’t regularly exercise. This routine is perfect for an apres-run workout. You can perform it in your driveway, a park, or another place where you might wrap-up a run. I’ve performed the straight punches and uppercuts after runs along with a few other moves, but NOT BY THE CLASSIC HIIT PROTOCOL as Havey suggests. I’ve not thought about putting them together in this way…it seems like a wonderful opportunity to sneak in some HIIT exercise! Thanks Mackenzie L. Havey. You may get a few odd looks as you throw the punches (my experience) but these onlookers might assume you’re a fighter and not mess with you, especially as your technique improves. RUN HAPPY! http://running.competitor.com/2017/06/training/5-moves-make-up-effective-at-home-boxing-routine_165201

BRIDGE TO PHYSICAL SELF
Running, walking, and fitness activities enable us to experience our physical selves in a world mostly accessed through use of fingers on a mobile device. AuthorEARNED RUNS is edited and authored by me, runner and founder. In 1978 I began participating in 10K road races before 5Ks were common. I've been a dietitian, practiced and taught clinical pathology, and been involved with research that utilized pathology.
