Multitasking Move: Boxing
Ever since I read about couples getting into the ring together I have been a bit obsessed with boxing. Well here's a great Pilates move using hand weights to help you add power to your punch. Yep, this exercise is called Boxing.
A.) Starting Position
|
 Do: Engage your deep abs by pulling your belly away from the floor. Feel your abs and back "sandwiching" your spine. Don't: Tuck your pelvis under! Your spine, pelvis and head should form one long line. |
B.) Move
|
 Do: Control the motion of both arms in a slow and controlled manner. Do: Keep your wrist straight, so your knuckles are in line with your shoulder. Don't: Throw your arms haphazardly about. |
Fit's tip: Choose an appropriate weight for your strength level between 3 and 5 pounds. Try doing 8 to 10 reps three times, with 30 second rests in between each set.
