Boxing training demystified

This book clearly explains boxing techniques for the beginner. It lays out a training regimen of boxing methods, cardiovascular training and weight lifting. It teaches the various punches and maneuvers in a user-friendly way. There's instruction on working with the heavy bag, the speed bag, jumping rope, and more.

The One-Two Punch Boxing Workout

I am very pleased with this book. The One-Two Punch Boxing workout gives detailed descriptions of all exercises with pictures and drawings. I have a daily weight lifting program that I got completely bored with, I have always been interested in boxing but have never hit a heavy bag or speed bag, this book gave me all the information I needed to get started.

The One Two Punch Boxing Workout

At last, a boxing book for the rest of us! This book is excellent. The information is presented in clear, easy-to-follow steps. The photoghraphs are nicely shot and the text is well written. But, most of all, as a non-fighter (I'm 54) I now know I do not have to get in a boxing ring to gain the benefits of the boxer's training regimen. This book has changed my work out and added new life and interest to my same old dull, daily fitness routine. I admit I felt a little self-conscious when I first tried shadow boxing, but now it's one of my favorite parts. There's something empowering about it. I also like the way the authors not only say 'what' to do, but also 'why' to do it. As an essentially lazy person I need ways of not fooling myself, and the 12-week log charts help do that. Thank you Andy Dumas and Jamie Somerville for designing a vigorous yet safe workout program. Gotta run...
