Hit it haha!
30 sec intervals of Jabs, hooks then id say uppercuts but theyd not really work on the bag you have so just shadowbox for them? Also bodyshots. You could also do 30secs minijabs as fast as you can. Mix in some bodyweight exercises into the circuit like squats etc to make it longer

Thanks for the advice!!!
I must you tube it and see what they mean though ;-)
I failed miserably at sticking to SW last week, I did it for 5 days straight, felt fab and then my scales broke just in time for yesterdays weigh in! Of corse that was enough amo for me to stuff my face with a pasty and a cherry bakewell during a walk!! DO!!!!

Ok both I need some help.....
I'm running on a paragon horizon (if that helps at all) and i'm confused with what i'm actually achieving on it.
I'm running non stop, not sprinting but a good pace i'd say, obviously its different to outdoors but still, I need to know if i'm not really doing as much as I think I'm doing!!!
My treadmill has pre set speeds in Km's and in miles on the screen.
I tend to run using the speed + and - button and usually run at a pace of 4.5/5.5. At the end of 30 mins (on Incline 1!!!!) my screen shows the following -
308 cals/10 laps/2.38 on one of the screens and 30mins/Incline1 on the other.
I'm proper sweating after it and since Dan made me work harder ;-) on Incline 1 i'm sometimes gritting my teeth its that hard so my question is this.......
Am I running 2.38 miles or a measly 2.38 km's????? I'm still not overly impressed with 2.38miles but if it was km's, well thats just awful!
Help?!?!?!?!?!

Just for the record, 2.38 miles non stop is good! How many people do you know could do even half of that? Not many!
If you want to increase distance, lower your speed and jog for longer. Invrease distance by about 10% each week. In an ideal world, if you run 4 times a week, two of those runs would be at your quicker pace for those 2.38 miles, and two longer slower jogs

Ah yes I remember you doing the 5k, shortly after that you both told me off for running 3.2 miles in 36minutes remember?? ;-)
I'd love to get to 10k, it seems a long way off but never say never and all that!
A lot of my problem is self doubt, I got to 15 mins tonight and started arguing with myself, my head wanted to quit and do the rest tomorrow but my heart and willpower wanted to reach the end do badly!!
