HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PUNCHES
WORKOUT ROUTINE PRINCIPLES
Your Bruce Lee Slam Man Workout will Consist of Three Phases
Warm UpTo prevent injury and maximise performance, we recommend you begin each workout with at least 5 minutes of gentle exercise that gradually increases your heart rate and warms your muscles. This can be done by practicing all the Slam Man workout movements at a slow tempo and easy range of motion.
Aerobic and Muscle Toning WorkoutTo maximise the health and fitness benefits that you seek, the warm up should be followed by 1520 minutes of aerobic boxing, 2-3 times per week with your Bruce Lee Slam Man. Build up to this amount as your fitness levels improve and progress at a rate that is comfortable to you. As your fitness level increases you may want to gradually increase the length and intensity of your workout to a total of 30 minutes, most days of the week.
Once the basic workout is comfortable for you, interval training offers the opportunity for greater workout variety, increasing cardiovascular benefits and calorie burning. Interval training means alternating short periods between high intensity workouts (using the whole body), and lower intensity workouts (using upper body only). When performing at higher levels of intensity you will work at a level that is at the higher end of your target heart rate zone, and lower intensity at the lower end of your heart rate zone. Monitor your heart rate throughout your workout, this will help determine the level of exertion that is safe and appropriate to you and serve as a good measure when monitoring your progress. There are three variables that will help control the intensity of your workout.
Speed Choose from three different skill levels which are programmed into your Bruce Lee Slam Man. Start with Level 1, which will be the slowest speed, then work up to levels 2 and 3.
Lower Body Work Adding footwork uses the larger leg muscles, and when performed simultaneously with upper body punches the intensity of your workout increases. To decrease intensity, perform the punches with NO legwork.
Type of Punch As you learn correct punching techniques, you will also learn which punches to use on each of the Slam Man targets. Punches such as a `Power Punch’, or `Upper Cut’, require more effort than a punch such as a `Jab’. Using different punches during your workout will vary the intensity.
Cool DownAt the end of your aerobic boxing workout, return to easy boxing movements (as described in the Warm Up), and slow down the range of motion and tempo. Gradually slow down to a complete stop, and complete your workout with gentle stretches. This allows your heart rate to drop slowly back to its normal resting rate.
SAMPLE WORKOUT ROUTINE
This sample routine will help you to learn the sequence of flashing lights used in Programme 1, and to practice a series of punches that could be used with this programme. Remember there are many ways you can sequence the punches in each programme. This sample workout will teach you one, 15 punch sequence. After you get comfortable with this routine you can use different punches whenever you like.
Begin with your left foot and shoulder forward, as if using the Orthodox Position, and follow the following sequence of punches.
NOTE: Once you have mastered Programme 1 in the Orthodox Position, change sides to a Southpaw Position (right foot and shoulder facing forward, and reverse all of the left/right directions below:
