Here’s how the program works: For 6 weeks, Joel leads you through 3 days of boxing training and 2 days of strength-building workouts with weights to help you get a true, full-body transformation. You won’t be hitting a heavy bag or sparring partner…but you can always pretend ;). Instead, you’ll be doing it the way boxers spend a lot of their training time—shadowboxing. “I’m going to show you how to work your whole body with every punch, just like the pros in the gym,” explains Joel.
Trust me, Joel’s got this. Just listen to his call-outs and tune in to the beat of the music—your body will follow. The boxing workouts with conditioning drills are broken up into 10 rounds, 3 minutes each, and progress over the 6 weeks. The 2 days of weightlifting workouts include one day of upper body to build strength and lean muscle, and one day of lower body to power up your legs, the foundation of every punch.
Let’s talk equipment: You’ll need a set of light, medium, and heavy dumbbells, 12” Beachbody Resistance Loops—included in all 10 Rounds packs—and a small towel. Now that you’ve watched the Boxing Basics video, you can go ahead and try the sample workout on Beachbody On Demand. It’s the best way to get familiar with the program and give you a feel for the weeks ahead.
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Make sure you’ve got all your equipment together in one place.
- Try the 10 Rounds sample workout.
- Share some motivation with the group! We all need each other to succeed.
