The 20-minute boxing HIIT workout that replaced my gym membership - Lemmy.World

I cancelled my gym membership 6 months ago and replaced it with this: Setup: Heavy bag + round timer. That’s it. The workout (20 min): - Round 1-2: Shadow boxing warmup (2 min rounds, 30 sec rest) - Round 3-5: Combo drills on the bag (3 min rounds, 1 min rest) - Round 6-8: Power rounds — everything you’ve got (2 min rounds, 30 sec rest) - Round 9: Burnout round — non-stop combos, no pacing (3 min) - Cooldown: 2 min slow shadow boxing I’ve lost 15lbs and my resting heart rate is lower than when I was running 5K three times a week. The key is the timer structure. I use BoxTime [https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759327767] because I can set different round lengths within one session. But any timer works — the important thing is not letting yourself rest longer than planned. Anyone else doing boxing as their primary workout?
