i have decided that for cardio i am going to alternate my jump rope and burpees and do 3/3 min jump rope and on burpee days do 6 sets of 15 reps. do you think that will be a good addition? are burpees beneficial to boxers?

I don't know. When was the last time you had to do a burpee in the ring. I think shadow boxing the best cardio there is. I maybe wrong.

Now, that's funny

yeah, shadow boxing is definately where its at, but i don't remember the last time i got in the ring and just swated at the air

burpees are a good total body workout, just make sure to explode in each movement and do a full plyometric pushups in the burpees to help punching power. variety helps the training enjoyable
