Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Today was the day Frank was finally able to put his new boxing gloves/pads to work and I was fortunate enough to help break them in!  Today's session was short, but intense.  After about 10 minutes of jumping rope, ONE teammate Joee Reyes laced up the gloves while I donned the pads.  We had 4 different sets at 30 seconds each with 30 seconds rest in between.  Once our 4 sets were over, we switched.  We ran through this 2x.  Here is the workout: 
  1. Twisting from the core and deriving power from the abs, we were to punch the pads as fast as we could.....right, left, right, left, right left, etc. etc.
  2. Bent slightly at the waist, we were to hit the pads (facing up) in a windmill/haymaker fashion.  Arms rotating at the shoulder, swinging overhead, and slamming down on the pads as fast as we could.
  3. Again, twisting from the core and deriving power from the abs, we were to punch the pads.  This time we jabbed twice with the left and then full power with the right.  Jab, jab, POWER, jab, jab POWER, etc, etc.
  4. The opposite hands for #3.
That was it!  Like I said, very short, but very intense.  It should be interesting to see which parts of the body become sore after this one!  Here is a pic of us in action.  That's me in the red hitting the pads:
