Rocky Marciano Boxing Cardio Workout

(Approximately 90 Minute Workout)

Inspiration: Early in Rocky Marciano’s career he stepped into the boxing ring unprepared and out of not in top shape. He nearly lost that fight! In fact many people in the audience who saw the fight thought he should have lost. On that night Rocky made a promise to himself that he would never step into the boxing ring unprepared and he never did again for the rest of his career (49-0). I encourage you to do the same. Train like a champ and prepare yourself for battle!
