Camille the rookie and her current sport program

If you are serious about competing, you have to be aware of the amount of fitness required. Holding on to 3 minutes of 3 intense rounds is a hell of an effort.

The minimum requirement for a competing boxer is to go to the boxing gym 3 times a week and to run 3 times a week as well.

Camille started boxing almost 9 months ago – in September 2016. She started from almost no sport to being active 6 times a week -when she can obviously. She is just starting to run (article coming soon) and is aiming to improve her cardio.

Currently she follows this program:

• • • Monday: Boxing at the Eastbourne Boxing Club (1h30)
    • Tuesday: Boxing fitness with EBC Women at the Eastbourne Boxing Club (1h00)
    • Wednesday: Running (program to run 5k in June)
    • Thursday: Boxing at the Eastbourne Boxing Club (1h30)
    • Friday: Running (program to run 5k in June)
    • Saturday: DAY OFF
    • Sunday: Exercise bicycle (45 mins with 1 min sprint every 5 mins)

One step at a time: considering that she never used to exercise, it’s pretty intense!

Don’t forget to follow the training on Instagram!

INSTAGRAM hitlikegirls: Coach Adrianne was helping Camille to defend more positively. You can see here that Camille was leaning backwards with her slips, with a kind of slip/swayback hybrid. A few pointers later, using the roll to encourage that forward motion, and you can see a much more comfortable and positive trunk defence! / #hitlikegirls is the journey of a coach and her rookie in the amateur boxing world.
