Boxing resistance band exercises are designed to improve your punching power as well as your endurance in the ring. Resistance bands are used specifically for resistance training. As a result, using resistance bands during your boxing exercise routine will give you natural resistance with respect to your punches and blocking.
Alternate Lying Chest Presses
This resistance band exercise will strengthen your biceps as well as your pectoral muscles, indirectly improving your punching power and speed. Lie down on the floor with a resistance band under your midsection. Grab each end of the resistance band with your hands and place your elbows flat on the ground with your forearms perpendicular to the floor. From this position, extend your right arm up until it is fully extended. Slowly lower it back down while extending your left arm. Alternate between both arms until fatigued.
Resistance Band Punches
This resistance band exercise is specifically designed to improve your punching power and speed. Get into your normal boxing stance with your arms up and knees slightly bent. Step on a resistance band with your front food, dividing the band into two parts. Bend down and pick up each end of the resistance band and return to your regular boxing stance. Punch using a simple jab-cross combination for 10 to 15 seconds. Relax for a moment before performing the same combination without the resistance band. Repeat the two, alternating between resistance and no resistance until fatigued.
Bicep Curls
Resistance band bicep curls will strengthen your biceps as well as your triceps. This will improve your punching power and arm strength. Stand on a resistance band, dividing it into two even sections. With your knees slightly bent, grab each end of the resistance band with one of your hands. With your arms extended towards the ground, bend up and at the elbows until your forearms are curled up to your shoulders. Slowly lower your arms back down and repeat until fatigued.
Resistance Band Squats
This resistance band exercise will strengthen your lower torso and upper leg muscles, improving stamina and endurance during your boxing match. Stand on a resistance band with both feet, dividing the band in two. Grab one end of the resistance band with each hand, and bring the ends of the resistance band to just under your chin. With your elbows out and away from your body, bend down toward the floor. Once your quadriceps are parallel with the floor, lift up until you are standing straight. Slowly lower yourself back down and repeat until fatigued.
