How Long Should I Do Jump Rope, pushups, and crunches For?

[Marzzz]

How long is the standard time to jump rope, pushup, and etc for if you're looking to up your conditioning?

Any resources, threads, guides to look for?

Looking to jumpstart myself to be in peak condition to start getting into competition. Very new.

I would suggest finding a number you are comfortable with for max reps of crunches, you should probably be able to do atleast a few sets and work this in to your weekly workout, so I would say do strength and conditioning 5 days a week, I don't know about pushups totally, you need to be doing more exercises than just pushups, pushups should be just one exercise and you can throw a couple sets in with your benches. Also you can do pushups on the side of your main workout, same as the sit ups, maybe do 3x15 pushups everytime on your way to the bathroom or something or everytime you walk through your. You could knock out 30-45 full situps everynight before you go to bed instead of crunches. I don't do any other conditioning besides running or this. That said I don't know what kind of strength training you are doing but I would do these simple little conditioning tips in addition to whatever stuff your already doing. Not as a substitute. Jope rump is typically done by sets, I do 12 sets x 3 minutes intervals each/ 15 seconds break in between each set once or twice a week, I would do it atleast this much. You will be extremely sore the first time so It may take you a couple of days to recover so you may want to do this at the end of the week or sometime in between when you don't plan on doing legs again immediately, till your used to it. I also don't recommend crunches because you will have to exert yourself a lot and your stomach muscles will always be in a constant state of repair, at least that's just me. Maybe a couple crunches after strength training before a cool down, I might even start doing them myself.

For endurance conditioning, there are stages. It's good to set up a schedule that tapers up with each day.
If you're looking to burn fat, keep in mind that it takes about 40min of cardio (any intense activity really) to get to the fat burning stage. An hour and a half is a good cardio session. I like to do my regular workout, then cardio. It helps save time because I've already had my heart rate up for at least an hour. It's really a lot more complex than that but I'm just giving you some basics.

I agree with this. Also if you can, learn how to get through your entire workout without drinking water. I can workout for 5 hours without drinking water, I wouldn't recommend running a marathon without water, but, taking into consideration a condition program like this holding back on the cool beverages until after your work out and a cool down period will help your body stay warmer longer, possibly contributing to gains. Then eat immediately after and that water will be rehydrating you and helping you digest your food.

Personally I Always always always finish a session on the rope, weather its a spar session, mitts, bag, or run

15 mins minimum with high knees double jumps, tucks, the whole arsenal.

Gets those calfs and legs use to moving when they are tired for those championship rounds

Im not sure what you mean by how long but from my experience workouts in a gym usually run from bell to bell. In other words, the same time as a round, 3 minutes.
