What should I work on at home?

  • Shadowbox with moderate intensity...this is not "going through the motions"...visualize your offense/defense and strike with intention (and watch yourselrf in a mirror if possible so you do not reinforce bad habits! Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes HABIT.
  • RUN. If you were doing this as a professional (or training in Thailand) you would be running 10-15 miles PER DAY! This should tell you the importance of running for cardio, strength, endurance.
  • Skip rope. It's easy, builds cardio and leg muscles, timing, and can burn nearly as many calories per hour as running.
  • Crunches. Try to do 200 per day. Break them into manageable chunks of 25-50 at a time throughout the day.
  • Push-ups. Same as above.
  • Stretch. Without flexibility your training will not be complete.
  • Find partners to train with or hit the heavy bags. If/when you train on the heavy bags...hit them with 110%.

Good luck! dp
