- Short home sessions
Where it works
home • gym
Equipment: none
How the session flows
- 1. Settle posture
Plant both feet or stabilize your chair base, then stack ribs over hips before the first punch.
- 2. Build tempo
Alternate jab-cross patterns with short breathing breaks so the session feels repeatable instead of punishing.
- 3. Downshift early
Finish each round with a shoulder release and slower hand speed before fatigue changes your form.
Pacing: Start with 20-second rounds and earn longer work intervals only if breathing stays controlled.
Keep in mind
Keep shoulders down and relaxed between rounds.
Helpful supports: chair supported • low impact • audio cue friendly
