This circuit consists of one minute on the Airdyne bike,

then one minute on one of three drills (hitting focus mitts,

ground-and-pound body bag, and Russian twists). We go

back and forth — bike, drill, bike, drill — for 30 minutes as

hard as we can. It’s the most brutal workout ever. It’s more

brutal than any fight. We do this circuit three days a week

for six weeks straight. The whole time, our coach Bob Cook

is watching us — yelling at us to go harder. He’s called

‘Crazy’ Bob Cook for a reason.

AIRDYNE INTERVALS
1 MINUTE
Keep the Airdyne at 85rpm or higher. It will be in the
90s closer to fight time. Go as hard as you can.
