1 Technique + 1 Conditioning Drill Workout

Sometimes you just don’t have enough time (or the desire) to do a full workout.  Yet, you know you need to do something.

This is the perfect time to do the 1 Technique + 1 Conditioning Drill Workout.

Here’s how it works:

On the day of your workout, you decide which technique you need to work on most.

For this first example, let’s say you are going to work on a “leaping-in jab.”  
For the technique itself, you can use the focus mitt or a heavy bag as the target.
For the conditioning, you can do a plyometric type of drill where you leap forward and throw a small medicine ball at the wall. 

Since the jab requires a glove for training, you likely won’t want to superset (go back-and-forth) between the two exercises.  It would take too long to switch.  Instead, you can do the technique first, then the conditioning drill.  We suggest doing southpaw and orthodox for a balanced workout. 

You can do 3-5 rounds of each movement. 

In example 2, you can work on the “head kick.”
The technique can be drilled on Thai pads of a heavy bag.
For the conditioning drill, you can do box jumps.
These two movements can be done back and forth for 3-5 rounds.

You can think of many different combinations for whichever technique or art you want to refine.

Of course, you can do several of these combos back-to-back for a complete 1-hour workout.  We just wanted to give you some ideas of what you can do when you have a short amount of time, or just want a quick workout.

That’s it for now.

Thanks for reading.
