04.14.20 - At Home With Gerry - Plyometric Cardio with Heavy Bag Work

4/14/2020

 
GCBA Family,
We hope you are all doing well and keeping up the good fight.  Today’s workout is a cardio driven, footwork beast.  Also, a little NJ’s own Bruce Springsteen “Better Days” in the background for some additional motivation.
You don’t need any equipment, but if you have it, fantastic.
Warm-Up


  • 5 rounds, 2:00 min each, jump rope with 15-sec rest between rounds. 
  • If you have at home a versa climber, elliptical, treadmill, etc. go hard for 1:00 min, rest 30 seconds and do for 5 rounds.  If you don’t have the equipment, no problem, run in place making sure to bring your knees high-off the ground (“High Knees”).
  • 5 rounds, 8 reps per round, “Box Jumps” or “Step Ups”. If you don’t have a box or platform to jump/step up on, no problem.  Use a step in the house or do bodyweight squat jumps.
Skill
  • Work all the different combos I have been showing on the heavy bag for 3 min rounds.  30 sec between round where you should be on your toes moving around.  Do 6 rounds.  Don’t have a heavy bag, no worries, shadow box.  ​
Best,
Gerry & the GCBA Team


04.10.20 - At Home With Gerry - Combo's & Speed Bag Drills

4/10/2020

 
WARM-UP
  • Jump rope 3 minutes
  • Max push-ups in 30 seconds
  • Plank hold for 60 seconds
3 rounds of the above.  1 round consists of Jump rope, push-ups, plank.

Skill
  • Study the combo that we are working in the video.  Work that combo with a partner at home holding pads (remember you don't need pads, just hold your hands out and don't punch hard). Or you can work the combo shadow boxing or on the heavy bag.  Work and rework that combo during a 2:00 min round.  Do 6 rounds with 30-second rest between rounds.
  • I know some have asked for some speed bag work and drills that they could do at home so we included that as well.  Start slow on the speed bag, get your rhythm and increase the speed slowly.  Work the speed bag for 1:00 min.  Do 3 to 5 rounds with 30-second rest between rounds.
  • The drill at the end work it to you get the hang of it.  Start slow until you get the rhythm and then increase speed.  Accuracy over speed.

3/30/2020

 
GCBA Family,

The workout today is all about the combo and making sure you are shifting your weight to generate that punching power.  I found a great clip on youtube that someone was kind enough to assemble and post. Check out my movement.

Warm-Up:
3 - 3 minute rounds of skipping rope
3 - 1 minute rounds of mountain climbers (if you never have done, here is a great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNNqFfyNxww)

Work-Out:
5 - 2 min rounds of Shadow Boxing working the combo in the video.
5 - 3 min rounds of working the combo with a partner holding mits if you can grab a partner or on the Heavy Bag.

Finisher:
Follow Sarah's ab exercise seen in the video.  Do as many as you can in 45 secs for 3 rounds. 

At Home with Gerry - Video 5 - Bag Work

3/27/2020

 
GCBA Family,

It was great to see those take advantage of our free heavy bag give-a-way.  We are working really hard to get you guys heavy bags for your home.  If you are in need of a bag, please let us know at info@yetimma.com and Subject Line:  I Need a Bag.

So today, I want to begin some heavy bag work.  Watch the video below and replicate the movement, function and form.  

The Workout:
  • 5-Min Jump Rope. If you don't have a jump rope, then shadow jump rope!  
  • 6 3-min rounds of bag work (watch the video).  
  • Between rounds, 1 min-jump rope

If you don't have anyone to hold mitts for you at home, mimic by shadow boxing the movement of the puncher for 6 2-minute rounds, in between rounds: After odd rounds 1,3,5) do maximum number of push-ups you can for 30 seconds. After even rounds (2,4,6) hold a plank for minimum 30 sec (if you can), try to hold as long as you can.
