Day 29 – Hook into it!

Boxing Hook

After all the excitement of last Friday and celebrating my first 4 weeks boxing training – It was time for some rest and recovery on Saturday, and I needed it.  My muscles were noticeably aching on Friday night.  I’d been going full steam ahead during the workouts last week, probably in preparation for the Week 4 photos (thinking that extra 1/2 pound loss could make all the difference!).

It just goes to show – when you do the same workout with a slightly altered mindset – focusing on hitting harder and faster, determined to release every ounce of energy into the move – it can make a big difference.  All these small adjustments add up.  The extra skipping last week has made a big difference (especially to my calf muscles) – perhaps adding in 5 extra burpee jumps or pausing the video and doing those press-ups correctly will also make a difference.  Surely over 60-Days this will be the case.  Progressing bit by bit, inch by inch.  I think it will.

So, today – a bit of a strange start to the week.  It’s Monday and Easter holiday.  Uncharacteristically, the weather has behaved itself – there’s glorious sunshine, believe me this never usually happens here.  And living in northern Scotland this meant I didn’t need to take the 12 steps to the garage, shivering and cursing the cold before hearing Corney say “Right let’s start with some dynamic stretches”.  I can now wear a t-shirt without freezing before the workout has finished.  I’m taking any positive sign that comes my way – Spring is here!

Technique 4 – (Close Up!)

I really like this workout.  It’s all about the ‘hook’.  There’s  hooks flying in everywhere during every round.

In the shadow boxing warm up – Jab, Cross, Step Around, Body Hook, Head Hook.  Then we reach the big Round 4 it combines 2 lead hooks and 2 rear hooks with a roll (and repeating).  It’s very effective and surprisingly tiring.  Tough!

If you love throwing a boxing hook too – Check out Corney’s ‘Double Left Hook’ demonstration on the Sneak Punch YouTube Channel.

Cheers, John.
