Monday: BoxFit Training
Tuesday: Gym Circuit Training

Friday: BoxFit Training
BoxFit: Monday / Friday
Ashley loves getting hot and sweaty in the gym. Boxing allows her to work every part of her body while burning a ton of calories and increasing her balance and coordination. BoxFit is a combination of cardio and kickboxing, heavy bag training and calisthenics. Her session begins with 2 minutes of skipping, followed by sparring with a partner for 3 minute rounds. She then does three one minute rounds of punching and elbow strikes on the heavy bag.
Ashley will then move to a circuit that has her performing high kicks, push ups, box jumps and burpees in a continual circuit. She does three rounds of this circuit. The workout ends with two more minutes with the skipping rope.
Gym Circuit: Tuesday
Tuesday is Ashley’s back to basics gym day. She follows a 10 exercise circuit that has her doing weight resistance, plyometric and calisthenics moves in rapid succession for 3 rounds. Here is the exact circuit that Ashley uses right now:
- Squats
- Burpees
- Dumbbell Bench Press
- Box Jumps
- Lunges
- Bent Over Row
- Leg Press
- Push Ups
- Treadmill
- Pull Ups
Wind Resistance Sprint Training: Wednesday
On Wednesdays, Ashley gets herself down to the local running track where she pushes herself through 5 rounds of sprint training. She starts with a slow jog around the track. Then she’ll attach a wind resistance chute which creates drag as she runs, forcing her to work harder. She will sprint as hard a she can for 30 seconds and then walk back to her start point. This will be repeated 5 times. At the end of it. Ashley is a quivering mess on the ground, but she has churned through a whole lot of calories.
Thursday: Kettlebell Circuit Training
On Thursday, Ashley trades in the conventional weights for kettlebells. She knows that these cannonballs with handles will allow her to develop her coordination, flexibility, strength and aerobic capacity. Here’s the circuit that she follows:
- Pull Ups
- Kettlebell Goblet Squat
- Push ups
- Kettlebell Swings
Ashley uses a weight that allows her to perform 10 rounds pf the circuit. She moves through at a rapid pace, performing 12-15 reps on each exercise. If she can get through without collapsing in a heap on the floor, she knows she needs to work harder by increasing the kettlebell resistance.
