Using Stairs for Boxing Training

Video Transcript

The last area in our introductory boxing lesson that I usually work with the students on, and this gives them a chance to unwind a little bit after hitting the bag and loosen up a little bit, is the four-step step up stairs. What a lot of them will do at first is to try it with the one step, and then do that for maybe a two-minute round, and then go back up to two steps and then back down, and then elevate up to three steps and then to four steps, and that's fine. What these stairs are going to help develop is your peripheral vision. In boxing peripheral vision is very important because you want to see what's coming without actually turning to look what's coming. So not wanting to walk off the edge of these stairs, you're going to develop some peripheral vision, and not wanting to look down at the steps you're going to develop some peripheral vision. So usually we do it for 3 two minute rounds, and it's going to help develop your cardio, develop your leg muscles. Nick's going to show us a little bit on how he works with these stairs. That's great. Just make sure the stairs are up against the wall so nobody falls out the window. Thank you.
