" An important aspect of boxing is strength training. Shoulder’s are one of the most important muscles that you use in boxing – of course with your chest, your back, your legs but shoulders are really important. And I’ll let my instructor of conditioning trainer give you tips about that. Hi, my name is Eric with EC Personal Fitness, and these three exercises are primarily to strengthen your interior, middle and posterior deltoids. First exercise, stand with your feet slightly to about shoulder length apart, your head up your chin out. With your palms facing down, you’re going to inhale, raise the dumbbell to shoulder level and you’re going to exhale with the downward movement. The next exercise is going to be a forty five degree angle raise with your palms facing down, dumbbells on your thighs, you’re going to raise the dumbbell, inhale, upwards, about shoulder level you’re going to exhale in a downward motion to complete the exercise. The last one exercise that we’re going to go over is dumbbell lateral raises. With your palms facing down, dumbbells at your thighs, you’re going to raise the dumbbells about shoulder level, inhale, exhale in a downward movement and then complete the exercise. "

on 8/2/2008 Really informative introduction to boxing. I just have one question. Why do your trainer advise inhalation on the work section of the lift? Typically,you exhale on the exertion and inhale on the release during weight lifting. As a rule you breath out during the most strenuous part of the movement called the eccentric phase, and breath in during the concentric phase. Exhaling during the exertion phase lowers your internal pressure, while failing to breath correctly can lead to broken blood vessels, as well as a hernia.
