Well, I am on course ATM and my old mate Turtle is on the same course, so as you do we became training partners to incite some friendly competition and controlled rage.
After weights we have decided to throw in some light conditioning to keep the heart rate up, at be beginning of this week we decided to throw in some mouth guards, put on the gloves and proceed to punch each other in and around the head and body.
What a great way to finish a work out, the ring is a indoor basket ball court and it beats sitting on a bike or rower for 20 minutes, and its functional.
Funny thing is I keep thinking of the saying "the older I get, the better I was".
Its like a old comedy, two blokes shaping up, circling each other like sharks and throwing some punches for a while till one of us hits the other, which is then followed by apologises then more punching.
I have found it to be very hard work to punch your mate in the face whilst laughing hysterically.
I highly recommend adding this form of conditioning into your sessions.
