Focus on Fitness Training

Boxing Fitness Training

What is it?
A great way to let off steam and a great way to get fit. Boxing certainly brings out the best in you. In boxing sessions you will learn different types of punches, kicks, footwork and combos. These sessions do not mean you are in the boxing ring getting punched up! It’s all a mixture of cardio, stamina and endurance.

Types of punches: jab, cross, hook, uppercuts, rolling & rips
Types of kicks: straight kicks, round house & knees

Combine these types of exercises into combos, runs and drills you will definitely get the blood pumping and the arms and legs burning. Core work can also be a major part of your boxing session with a variety of sit up and crunch punch combos and some laying down bag kicks and leg raise kicks.

In a group boxing session you will work with a partner and go through various drills and exercises including running, body weight and core work together and you will also have to be the pad holder, which can be a workout itself.

Equipment needed for a great boxing session:
Boxing gloves/mitts
Focus pads
Exercise mats
Cones
Kick bags

Boxing is surprising enjoyable with most clients getting into it straight away, and once you have learnt the basics you will soon realise how much the session takes it out of you and pushes you to your limits. I think we all want to let out our frustrations and what better way to do that than participating in a boxing fitness program.

Who can do it?
Anyone! All ages and fitness levels are able do boxing, in you session to get the best workout try and partner up with someone your size and fitness level, that way you can work together at your own pace and feel comfortable throughout your workout.

Example Boxing Fitness Program

Warm Up
– Jab/Crosses x 30 seconds + run to cone
– Hooks x 30 seconds + run to come
– Uppercuts x 30 seconds + run to cone

Combos 1 & 2
– 2 x jabs + 1 cross repeat x 30 seconds
– jab + cross then one hard uppercut x 30 seconds

Drill 1
– In pairs countdown – 50 x jab/crosses + run to cone (gloves) / star jumps (pad holder) then countdown 40, 30, 20, 10
– 50 x hooks + run to cone (gloves) / jump squats (pads) & countdown 40, 30, 20,10
– 50 x uppercuts + run to the cone (gloves) / mountain climbers (pads) & countdown 40, 30, 20, 10
Then SWAP with your partner

Exercise of the Week Weekly Workout

Ad Break Workout

Add Fitness into your TV time!

We all get stuck after work or during the holidays watching TV and most of the time something that is not actually worth watching. To break things up and most of all get you moving, why not try some simple exercises through the ad breaks that can be done in your own lounge room.

You will be surprised how much you can do on your couch or in your lounge area without using any equipment.

Most ad breaks last about 2-4mins, so instead of getting up and getting a snack or not moving at all, as soon as the commercials come on during the show,  jump up and use the ads as a timer and follow the simple exercises we have provided below.

To get the blood pumping through your whole body we have selected a variety of upper, lower and core exercises which will give you a total body workout in small burst then you can rest while your show comes back on.

Doesn’t sound hard does it? Through an hour long show you may get up to 20 minutes of ad breaks so use it wisely. In the long run it is better than doing nothing at all. We all need to be a little more active so don’t use watching your favourite TV show as an excuse, use it as a workout!

Get your kids involved! If you have children who watch a lot of TV why not use this as a fun way to them moving and they still get to watch their show!

In the end it’s not rocket science to know we have to have more exercise in our life and it doesn’t take much to get off your couch for a couple of minutes and move!

AD BREAK WORKOUT PROGRAM

 

– complete as many sets you can until ads are over

AD BREAK

10 x Push Ups
10 x Squats
10 x Star Jumps

 > Back to watching The Shire (You know you love it)

AD BREAK

10 x Sit ups
10 x Chair Dips
20 x High Knees

 > Back to watching Home & Away

AD BREAK

50 x Air Punches
30 Sec Hold Squat
Prone Hold until ads are over

 > Back to watching Big Brother

AD BREAK

Jogging the on Spot – As Ads change, swap between high knees, butt kicks & fast feet

 > Back to watching Big Bang Theory Repeats

AD BREAK

Challenge: Try Hold a V-Sit for the entire break!

There you have it, some simple exercises you can include between your shows, you can only benefit from giving it a go!

Beep Test Changes for Vic Police

Police Fitness Test Scores Lowered

The Victorian Police recruit application process has just been made a little easier with police lowering the physical standard of it’s toughest fitness test, the dreaded Beep Test.

The beep test, also known as the multi-stage fitness test, 20m shuttle run or bleep test has always been the hardest test that potential recruits struggle with when applying to join the Victorian Police. Over the years we have trained a huge number of clients who were wanting to join one of the Emergency Services (Police, Fire Brigade, ADF) and each and every client has had the same question.

How Do I Improve My Beep Test!

Since its introduction as a fitness requirement, successful recruits needed to achieve a 6.10 level to become a police officer, compared to level 9.6 to become an MFB firefighter or join the CFA. The fitness requirement has now been lowered to 5.10 and has already received criticism from exisiting officers and new recruits who have previously put in all the hard effort and training to reach the old 6.10 requirement.

Victorian Police Multi-Stage Fitness Test

New Pass Standard: Level 5.01 – 33 shuttles and is 660m and 4 minutes and 18 seconds of running.
Old Pass Standard: Level 6.10 – 51 shuttles and is 1020m and 6 minutes and 20 seconds of running.

MFB Fire Fighter Multi-Stage Fitness Test

Current Standard: Level 9.06 – 78 shuttles and is 1560m and 9 minutes and 02 seconds of running.

A police spokeswoman said the change has been made to align the fitness entrance requirement for police and PSOs with other police jurisdictions across Australia.

“The agreement was approved on 1 December, 2011 with the implementation of the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement which took affect at the start of July, 2012. Applications from those who did not meet the previous fitness standard between those dates are being reviewed,’’

So what is the Beep Test?

The beep test is used to estimate your maximum oxygen uptake better known as VO2Max. The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20 metres apart and you must time your running speed to match a pre-recorded audio tape, CD or laptop which plays beeps at set intervals. As the beep test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the runner to increase their speed between the shuttles, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording. The test finishes when participants either becomes too tired and stops running or they record two consecutive misses at reaching the lines in time for the beep.

Have the new standards been set too low? We would love to hear your thoughts below?

If you are looking to join any of the Emergency Services you should take your preparation seriously. Learn more about our Emergency Service Fitness Training

This years MS Walk and Fun Run at Albert Park was a fantastic event that our MaxNRG Personal Trainers were involved with. It was such a great day and we were pleased to help the 5000 strong crowd warm-up and enjoy the festivities of the day.

About the Albert Park MS Walk and Fun Run

Although the day is held in early June as we start moving into the winter months, the weather on Sunday 3rd June was great. Taking part in 5km or 10km walk or fun run was not only for people to improve their overall health and fitness, it will also about contributing to such a great cause.

When MS Australia approached us to help support them on the day, we were more than happy to help them in anyway we could to raise money for the thousands of Australians who are living with multiple sclerosis.
