Boxing is how you do it. You get stronger but not more muscular. You might gain muscle mass but toning it is the weightlifting department.

I've done plenty of martial arts, but boxing is new to me. I'd prefer if it was just training on sandbags tbh, and nowadays I get most of my competitive fighting spirit out by playing fighting games.

Probably a good 3 or 4 minutes, I like to play Ingress on my phone while I'm out jogging or sprinting.

If you're playing a game while sprinting, it's not maximum effort in my opinion.

It's not actively playing it, it's more like I play during break periods and leave the game on to regenerate resources (done by moving around and collecting them in the world) while I sprint to a key area in the game. It's kind of like those AR games.

In athletic terms, max effort is trying your absolute hardest in an explosive manner. 3-4 minutes of consistent max effort is insane.

I would have to say at least 3 minutes even at my age now, used to be a touchdown scorer for my secondary schools rugby team and now I have very fast kids so have to keep up lol

Ah okay, so you're not interacting with the game while sprinting?

Definitely not. I'm too afraid I might run into a wall or get run over by a car lol

Ah okay, well for reference purposes I run 3180m in 12 Minutes at my absolute hardest, that's around 15.5KM/H.
