Bring Sally Up to Boxing Punches 3,4,5,6 (AKA Head Hooks & Body Hooks)

This Bootcamp idea works excellent as a fun finisher, a partner based activity so you will need an even number or you will also need to join in. This Bootcamp exercise is to Flower by Moby (Bring Sally Up).

If you have done boxing training or Boxercise you will be familiar with punches 3 & 4 (head hooks) and punches 5 & 6 (body hooks). This exercise activity switches between punches 3 & 4 while on the ‘UP’ and punches 5 & 6 while on the ‘DOWN’

Bring Sally up
And bring Sally down
Lift and squat
Gotta tear the ground

This is essentially the lyrics which repeats 30 times, that is 30 rounds of punching head hooks and body hooks.

Old Miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Flower – Moby

Set-Up

A very simple Bootcamp finisher idea for a boxing based Bootcamp or boxing session. You will, of course, need enough focus pads and mitts for your participants and a stereo to play Flower by Moby (Bring Sally up).

If you are looking for a decent stereo, i’ve also found the ION Blockrockers to be solid and decent sound output.

Before purchasing focus pads and mitts new, take a look on local selling sites on Facebook and Gumtree. You can often fund sets for sale.

Get your group to pair up and form up opposue each other in a line.

Instructions

Once all set up, instruct your bootcampers that they will be performing punches 3 & 4 (head hooks) when they hear ‘UP’ until they hear ‘DOWN when they drop for punches 5 & 6 (body hooks).

You can always switch up the punches, e.g

  • Punches 1 & 2 (Straights) to Punches 5 & 6 (body hooks)
  • Punches 3 & 4 (head hooks) to Punches 7 & 8 (Uppercuts)

or whichever combination you fancy, alternating between an upper level to a lower level punch works well as it gets them performing a lot of what I would call ‘secret squats.
