Practical guide
Start by raising your temperature
Light movement such as walking, skipping or controlled shadowboxing can gradually increase your heart rate. The right choice depends on the session and your current ability.
Practical guide
Use movement that relates to the session
Mobility and simple technical drills can prepare your ankles, hips, shoulders and posture for boxing movement. The warm-up does not need to be complicated to be useful.
Practical guide
Share relevant information with the coach
If something feels painful, unusually stiff or affected by a past injury, speak up before you start hard rounds. A coach can adapt the session, but they need accurate information.
Key points
- Warm up gradually.
- Prepare the movements you will use.
- Do not turn the warm-up into a workout.
- Mention injuries or concerns before training.
