Micky Ward, is the name of the boxer that Mark Wahlberg plays in his upcoming movie "The Fighter" (has it been released yet?) . Apparently, you need a strong core to be a strong boxer, cause thats where all your power comes from. This is the Micky Ward workout, as printed in Men's Health (Australia), February 2011 issue. I think I'm gonna try this workout this week (but I'll replace the medicine ball twists with v ups... I dont do weights)
Micky Ward Workout
Push ups - 15 reps
McGill curl up - 15 reps each leg
Lie face up- right leg straight, left leg bent so your foot is flat on the floor.
With palms under your lower back arch, lift your head and shoulders (DONT BEND YOUR LOWER BACK)
Pause, then lower
Side crunch - 15 reps each side
Hip up- 10 per side.
Lie on your left side, propping your upper body up with your left elbow and forearm and keeping your knees straight. Raise your hips so that your torso is beyond parallel to the floor and your body forms a straight line from your head to your ankles. Pause, then lower.
Medicine ball twist - 15 reps
Repeat this circuit 2-3 times.
