FightCamp Review: Exercise your fitness style through home boxing exercises

Next comes a 15-minute combination and speed training for shoulder and lung burning, as well as core strength and leg exercises. There are many types of exercises, and the punch counter is a good motivation for speeding up and putting in more work.

It feels like a two-hour workout at the Virginia Boxing Gym, condensed into a routine of under 30 minutes. Although the time is relatively short, every part of my previous training, from technical training to speed, strength and core training, has a certain representation in each FightCamp course.

The training is very motivated and the five coaches (four men and one woman) are very good at giving encouragement. In addition, the coach passes the excitement of the exercise to the user, making the exercise fun rather than arduous.To try it out, check out the free exercise FightCamp publishes a post on its website.

Enter the ring

Even if you are not facing an opponent, boxing can be scary. The terminology and proper form may seem incomprehensible to those who are not familiar with it. FightCamp training simplifies the sport for beginners through clearly explained movements taught by actual fighters. The training skills and fitness levels range from beginner to advanced, so you can improve your skills over time.

In addition to getting started before exercise, there is also a whole kind of short operation method videos that will guide users to understand the essence of boxing and taekwondo, from the correct single punch and kick form to how to throw a punch. For example, in that video, coach Aaron Svensson said, “Let them miss out so you can make them pay”, which is one of my own real boxing coach’s favorite maxims.

At the time of writing, the FightCamp app is only available on iOS devices, so if you have an Android phone, you are out of luck. (However, iPhone users can sync their FightCamp exercises to the Apple Health Kit.) Another small problem: To reduce the weight of a heavy bag, you need to fill it with water at the bottom, so if you can’t use the hose, you The first exercise will be a few hundred laps from the sink or bathtub with the bucket. Even though the base was filled with water, I found that I knocked it a lot, but I was a pretty big boxer. Adding some sand at the bottom and filling it with water in the remaining part can provide enough weight to keep the bag stable, but it is troublesome to set up.

Knockout

When I was growing up, boxing was my main way of participating in football and wrestling matches during the offseason and staying in shape. Exercise helps to increase strength and endurance, and coordination and improved reaction time have improved my performance in all other sports. FightCamp managed to condense my two to three hours of training sessions into manageable 15 to 30 minutes of exercise.

Most importantly, the fun of hitting a heavy bag is a catharsis way that other exercises can’t match. After a few rounds of matches with FightCamp, all the aggression you have accumulated during your commute or workday will disappear.It is also very powerful to learn how to punch or kick a ball and hear a satisfying sound thwap When you drop a solid hook. You don’t have to be a sociopath to enjoy knowing that you can protect yourself. Even if you never need to defend yourself, it’s good if you have to know that you can.
