Got in 40 minutes of cardio and did 7 or 8 rounds of bag work. I worked on:

• Rapidly throwing jab-cross-hook combos and shifting weight to each foot so I can push off the ground for the full effect each punch.
• I made circles around the bag then attacked it, working on coordinating hip rotation with weight shifts and pushing off the ground for each jab or jab-cross.
• Did left pivot followed by straight rights, right bumps (skipping pivot) followed by a left uppercut or hook then straight right combo.
• Practiced countering jabs with my cross. This involved catching/throwing jabs then going over the top of my opponents imaginary jab with my cross. I also practiced stepping slightly to the right then in almost one motion throwing the straight right. The latter is a good way to counter a jab while moving yourself to a safe zone.
• Also worked on slips and coming up out of v-slips with straight rights or left hooks as one rapid smooth motion.
