Why do boxers jog?

[3l N1n0]

A lot of boxers do jogging. Why do you need to do jogging and what does it make you do. If your not fat do you still have to run and why?

You have to joke? All boxer jogging so their condition should be better, you know? Who would like to fight if their condition is poor?

He has a point. Jogging is definitely not the most effective conditioning method. I'm a boxer know for my conditioning and I never jog.

Jogging, or any cardio, improves the efficiency of the heart. If you're heart works well you can pump more blood you your muscles.

You're muscles get more oxygen and more waste products such as lactic acid are removed, so you can go for longer without getting out of breath.

Jogging gives you a good base fitness on which to build. So you can start doing sprints, weight training ect.

I don't think it's essential - specifically jogging, that is. Surely whatever form of cardio provides the require degree of conditioning, is.

I'd guess that over the years - like skipping - they are constants, that have never had to have some fashion or equipment development that other forms of cardio have introduced over the years.

Take a month and train intensely solely on bodyweight circuit training. I'll bet you a lot that your conditioning will improve dramatically from when you were just jogging. I did for me anyway.

Interestingly,I worked with a top Triathlete who because of a hip problem couldnt run, but could swim and cycle. Set a program out for Her and for a year didnt run. What She did was resistance stretching all year 3 times a week. Panic set in 2 weeks before a race She had won the previous year, but She followed instructions and kept to the plan. Won the race knocking 7 minutes of her PB. So there are Better ways to prepare rather than Running for Legs
