Cardio

The best way to measure the effects of an exercise program on your body is to check your pulse.

The best way to check the pulse is to place your index and middle fingers on your carotid artery or the wrist. Immediately after exercise, taking your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.

You can also check your pulse during exercise but with safety as first priority. To obtain a more accurate reading of your heart rate, buying an electronic device from any sports shop.

Now you have your exercising pulse rate or heartbeats per minute. We will concentrate on the upper end of your pulse region: 50% - 70% range.

To understand everything, deduct your age from 220. Suppose your age is 40, deduct this from 220 and you get 180.

50% of 180 is 90 beats per minute
60% of 180 is 108 beats per minute
70% of 180 is 126 beats per minute and so on.

Do not jump in the work of 70% immediately. Start with 50% and slowly work your way up the upper limit of 70%.

Start with no more than 10 minutes, and work up to 20 minutes. Once you're comfortable with the work for 20 minutes at 70%, then try to increase the heart rate to 80%.

Mix up your cardiovascular activities in the gym. Use the treadmill, skipping, rower, climber, and bicycle and other equipment that could be put at your disposal.

Boxing

The position of boxing is the posture a boxer takes before and after every action depending on whether you are left or right handed. We will deal with the most common; rightists. For left-handed, simply reverse the instructions.

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, with your left foot in front of your right foot. Your right heel should be slightly raised with your left foot flat on the floor and toes pointing ahead.

Bend your knees a little and balance your weight comfortably and evenly.

Place your elbows close to your body with the left fist held at head height and in a position that corresponds to your left foot.

The right fist should be at head height also and keep the chin with both elbows protecting your body and both fists protecting your chin.

This is your defensive and offensive position after throwing punches, so please practice this before going further. When moving forward in this position of boxing left foot forward first, then the right follows.

When moving back, right back and then the left follows. When you move sideways to the right, the right foot moves first, followed by the left. When you move sideways to the left, left.
