James Joseph “Gene” Tunney was a legendary boxer from New York City who made a name for himself representing the Marine Corps in the ring towards the close of WWI. With his drive and evolving passion, he went on to become an illustrious boxing icon, paving the way with his unbeatable ambition.

An underdog compared to defending heavyweight world boxing champion Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney had big goals and aspirations of changing that narrative. Despite the challenges he faced, Tunney went on to dominate in the sport while making impressive history along the way.

In a new era of boxing after Jack Dempsey’s retirement, Gene Tunney continued building his legacy with victories before retiring from the sport at the age of 31. He accumulated notable boxing, professional and personal accomplishments in his lifetime, all of which are still recognized and acknowledged today.

What’s up Aqua Training Bag Training community. I’m Coach Dan Palacios. Welcome to Aqua Training Bag Training Systems. We’re going to talk about our 5x5 Fitness Challenge today and the first day of the challenge, our cardiovascular workout. This is a great way to get that heart pumping, get that blood moving through your body, heat it up, and get a fantastic sweat going without overdoing it.

Today is day two of the 5x5 Fitness Challenge. We’re focusing on strength and power, so all of our exercises are going to reflect that. Make sure you stay with me. We’re going to get warmed up, we’re going to get a great workout in to build some muscle, burn some fat, and really get you fitness going in the right direction. Check it out.

Here we are on day three of our 5x5 Fitness Challenge. Today’s workout is going to be all about balance. Making sure that we have the ability to shift our weight safely and effectively from one side of the body to the other. And a lot of that has to do with stability, particularly in your foot, ankle, knee, and hip. Check it out.

Today’s going to be our coordination workout. We’re going to test your movement abilities a little bit and see how you do with defensive movements, rolling side-to-side, slipping side-to-side, and then throwing some punches to follow up. This is going to require a little bit of coordination. And it’s going to force you to work on that balance that we built on foundationally last time. Check out all of these coordination driven movements that we’re going to do.

And today is day five, we’re putting it all together. That’s cardio, strength, power, balance, coordination, all in one workout. This is what it all comes due, we’ve laid our foundation, and it’s time to get to work. Let’s step in the ring and make it happen with our Aqua Training Bag.
