* Sample training programmes for clients of differing abilities and fitness levels, with guidance on safe and appropriate progression
* Relevant content on dietary and health matters.

The Complete Guide to Boxing Fitness is a tried-and-tested, unique guide to boxing skills and drills for the fitness and sporting arenas.
