Book Reviews of The Boxer's Workout

Book Review: Great Introduction to Boxing
Summary: 5 Stars

Peter DePasquale's "The Boxer's Workout" is a perfect introductory book for those interested in boxing. It covers the basics like necessary equipment, how to wrap your hands, nutrition, workouts and basic technique. The photographs are helpful and most are clear. The book's most unique and best attribute is the workout it describes. This was designed by DePasquale for white collar boxers. The workout is a non-contact boxing workout that can be done at home or in a gym. The workout is good for stand alone fitness or it can be used to prepare for more advanced boxing and sparring. If the reader wishes to take this route the book offers advice on finding a good professional boxing gym. I must agree with the other reviewers that some of the techniques are somewhat dated and that DePasquale sometimes gets overly nostalgic about The Gramercy Boxing gym and the white collar boxing movement. However I forgive DePasquale because the workout is so effective and enjoyable. The book is well written and even an experienced boxer can learn something from it.

Summary of The Boxer's Workout

The Boxer's Workout is a fitness routine for whole body conditioning, aerobic fitness and fun. It presents the non-contact workout program that boxers use to get into shape.

The Boxer's Workout starts with the basics: pre-conditioning, roadwork, when and where to train, diet, & equipment. It contains over 80 photo illustrations on warm-up, movement, shadow boxing, heavy bag, speed bag, punches, circuit, developing your own boxing style and more. It assumes no prior knowledge of boxing. The Boxer's Workout is suitable for men, women, teens and seniors.

Since its publication in 1990, the book has sold over 17,000 copies worldwide. It has grown to become the definitive guidebook for serious boxers and martial artists, and is also recognized in boxing circles as the "bible" of the burgeoning boxing-for-fitness movement. The Boxer's Workout has been excerpted in Men's Health and Men's Fitness magazines, and was featured in Men's Journal magazine and on TV's "Body By jake" fitness show.
