5. JUMP ROPING

Jump roping is an important part of a boxing workout. It increases stamina, improves coordination, and strengthens leg muscles. Start off jump roping in one spot. As you loosen up a little more, begin to move forward and then backwards. Then as you progress, began to move side to side, and then move in a circular pattern. For beginning boxers you may want to stay in one spot as your skills improve with jump roping you can progress into the more advanced techniques. While jump roping, raise knees as high as they will go and then let them rest by keeping them at a lower height. Alternate techniques throughout your jump roping session.
