Jump rope

Get an HR monitor and find a machine you find comfortable. Get your heart rate up to 70% of its max and keep it there for three minutes, rest one minute then repeat. Over time build up to doing 12 "rounds" and move your heartrate up from 70% to 85% of your max.

Sprints on a bike or a fan bike are the new hotness. If you look up Sweet Science of Fighting conditioning on Youtube he has a bunch of videos discussing it.

I want to top this zesty jew
the best part is knowing that Trump is smiling down on it from Heaven

Fucking girls

Boxing is an incomplete martial art but like people say the spin bikes or maybe even something like hill sprints

>>77148613
you need to train "active recovery". I prefer long speed sessions with slow jogging in between for the recovery period. Aids regeneration a lot.

Could just swim though.

>>77148682
or skip the rope part

>>77149006
It's not a faggy "art"
It's the sweet science of punching power and velocity. They remove the rest with regulations to find out who hits harder because that is what people want to see. Not a fucking hug fest, or some gay dance of spinning kicks and windmill punches.

>Sport specific work (sparring) is king.
>Assault bike intervals is a close second. Good choice compared to running to preserve joints.
>10k + steps a day for heart health and lowering RHR which results in better and longer lasting cardio. Also good for mobility and joints as a bonus effect.
>jump rope
>10-13% BF, don't carry any unnecessary excess weight.
That's really the formula.

>>77149122
skip the jump part*

>>77148613
>I already do sparring and bags
>asks for best cardio
>already doing best cardio
????

>>77148613
literally just run. cycling wont whip you into cardio shape, its just good for burning calories

>>77150196
Sparring isn't the best cardio. I'm a fat fuck who does boxing and Muay Thai and I can spar for an hour easily, push it to two hours. I can outlast guys who can outrun me and out swim me because sparring has ALOT to do with composure, skill, technique, and not over exerting yourself.

The bags though I'll agree. If you go crazy on the bags that's good cardio. But that's still just fight based cardio. It won't turn you into a good runner.

>won't turn you into a good runner.
OP didn't ask about running? The thread is about boxing cardio

>>77150392
You're basically proving the point of the guy youre disagreeing with there lol

>>77150283
You dont think it will help my stamina?

sparring when already tired helps the most
show up to your boxing class/sparring session having already done some cardio

>>77150463
This is horrible advice. So retarded.
Do not show up to your skill work already pre-exhausted. You won't get better that way.
You want to get the most out of each session technically and you can't achieve that walking in fatigued.

If anything burn out on cardio as a finisher after you've completed drilling / sparring.

>>77148613
Every single boxer in the world does jump rope. Do you think thats a coincidence?

>>77150431
your gonna be boxing on your feet, not on a bike

>>77148613
>What is the best cardio
Swimming

>>77150406
You get the specificity from sparring and other boxing training. But unless you're doing multi hour sessions of it it's not a replacement for actual cardio.

>>77148613
Outside of your sport specific work, swimming, cycling and rooning in that order.

Rooning is great and heavy mileage can build strength in your legs but has the double edged sword of damaging joints and longer recovery.

Cycling is essentially running without the high impact on your joints.

Swimming is cycling but full body and involves breathing constraints.

Good post too

Roadwork/Zone 2 Training: Aim for 30–60 minutes of steady-state exercise (running, swimming, or cycling) at a conversational pace, 2–3 times per week.

Nasal Breathing: Practice low-intensity shadowboxing or light drills while breathing only through your nose to improve diaphragm efficiency and oxygen

Assault Bike/Sprints: Perform all-out efforts for 10–30 seconds, followed by 1–3 minutes of active rest (light movement).

Fight-Specific Intervals: Structure workouts into 5-minute rounds with 60 seconds of rest. For example, alternate 60 seconds of heavy bag work with 60 seconds of bodyweight exercises like burpees or sprawls.

Shark Tank Drills: Stay in the center for 5–20 minutes while a fresh partner enters every 60 seconds to wrestle or spar with you. This forces you to maintain technique while exhausted.

Heavy Bag Intervals: Perform 10–20 seconds of maximum intensity strikes followed by 1 minute of active defense and footwork.

Relaxation: Fighters like Colby Covington stay "efficient" by throwing high-volume but lower-power strikes to maintain pace without gassing out.

Muscle Memory: Constant drilling makes movements automatic, requiring less mental and physical energy during a fight.

I don't run because I'm lazy, but /fit/'s obsession with running destroying your joints has always confused me.
