Just got back from St. Kitts with my trainer. We had a great time and worked hard kind of did a different routine and it helped my stamina immensly.
We did the infamous Livingstone Bramble Jungle bunny run which is a 4 mile trail up and down his property. His house is located on a huge hill that is covered in vegetation, rocks ect. The trail winds down the back side of the hill to his white sand beach and his second house it was pretty grueling in the humidity and the heat but it was fun as hell to because we climbed over logs and scrambled up rock slides on the way down. On the way up we did the opposite side which winds up the hill throw a semi jungle tangle. Once we got down the hill we would do a short swim in the ocean then relax for awhile then back up the hill.
The other odd thing we did is climb trees not sure what kind of trees they were but they look like palm trees only are smoother. We used a loop hooked to our waists to climb up then we would slide down witht he loop kind of hard to explain but I would equate it to the peg board wrestlers used to use.
The last thing we did differently is deep water swimming we we would go under the water to where you stomach is almost touching the bottom and breast stroke. the whole point is to stay under as long as you can and swim as hard as you can to build lung cpacity. This was very hard.
We also did a lot of beach running and we (I carried water to the house while Bramble road a moped and yelled obscenities at me lol)carried water to his house everyday. 1 mile up the driveway 1 mile down carrying 8 gallon jugs one in each hand. We used the water for his plants lol so it was little bit of a pain in the ass.
For boxing we did
4 rounds of shadowboxing up to neck in water
4 rounds on the double end bag in sand
4 rounds on the heavybag in sand
4 rounds on the speed bag
200 situps
150 pushups
35 pullups
All this was outside on a semi hard packed sand floor which made it harder than normal
I sparred every friday for 8 rounds a session with a new guy every 2 rounds with a 30 second rest period. I sparred with guys that weighed 154 to a 300lbs. brawler who actually bit my shoulder in the clinch lol.
The island is beautifull and the weather is great for boxing although a little humid
