An intermediate boxing routine with footwork, bag work, and conditioning (~25 minutes).
Warm-Up
5 minutes. Raise heart rate and prep shoulders, hips, and ankles.
Round 1
Straight punches and movement. Work the jab-cross with light pivots and angle steps.
Round 2
Hooks and defense. Add hooks; mix in slips after combinations (e.g., 1-2-slip, 3-2-roll).

Combo round. Freestyle combinations: 1-2-3, 1-1-2, 2-3-2, 3-6-3. Add slips/rolls as you reset.

Cool-Down Stretch
Slow breathing. Relax shoulders and neck.
Punch Mechanics Behind Each Drill
Jab-Cross builds rotational hip drive and cross-body lat engagement, while Hooks and Uppercuts train the obliques and rear deltoids through distinct arc planes. Slips and Rolls aren't just defense — they load the paraspinals and hip flexors, keeping your punch output explosive off evasive movement.
What Intermediate Boxing Really Demands
At this level, the gap isn't power — it's sustaining clean mechanics under fatigue. Jump Rope and Shadow Boxing prime your fast-twitch motor units and footwork timing before the bag ever takes a punch, preventing the sloppy form that plateaus fighters who skip structured warm-up protocols.
Rounds Structure as an Anaerobic Engine
The 16-minute main block mirrors real bout pacing by cycling high-intensity combinations with brief recovery, training your phosphocreatine and glycolytic systems simultaneously. Add 10 seconds to your Mountain Climber sets weekly — this single progressive overload lever directly carries over to late-round punch speed retention.
