The 11-Minute Boxer's EMOM

At the end of a long day, who doesn’t want to punch something — or someone? In the interest in avoiding a battery charge, you might want to try this quick, stress relieving workout instead.

“Boxing is incredible for building cardiovascular strength, losing overall body fat and toning muscle, but its benefits extend beyond the ring,” says Tommy Duquette, co-founder of FightCamp and former member of USA

Boxing. “It can be incredibly liberating to learn how to punch, jab and block an opponent’s attack, and it can lead to improved confidence and empowerment as well as mental clarity and stress relief.”

Boxers have to be able to think quickly on their feet with minimal rest, which is why Duquette recommends an EMOM (every minute on the minute) programming format. “The progressively shortened rest periods keep your heart rate up and your head in the game since you have to focus on giving the maximum effort every round,” he says.

THE POWER CLEAN (Discover this dirty little secret for better functional fitness.)

OLYMPIC LIFTS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH and athletic performance — and as a side bonus, they also help develop crazy-good muscle shape, size, and definition. In fact, one could argue that the power-clean portion of the clean-and-jerk is the best exercise ever devised. “The clean is a functional movement used [routinely] in everyday activities,” says Aaron Viscounte, CSCS, head coach and manager at Summer’s Fitness Inc. in North Canton, Ohio. “We use aspects of the clean to pick up a box and put it on a shelf, move furniture or even go grocery shopping.” During a power clean, the barbell travels from the floor to the “racked” position at shoulder level and back down again. We tapped some elite trainers for their step-by-step expert advice on making the most of every rep.
