How to do shadowboxing – the essentials

JUST about every boxer out there does shadowboxing. You can do it just about anywhere, including within the comfort of your own home.

The reasons why they do it include the following:

1. It’s a great extension to warm up the specific muscles you will use in that boxing session.

2. It’s great for fighters visualizing an opponent.

3. It’s great for working on bad habits, such as dropping your hands down when you’re boxing.

4. It’s a great workout.

Shadowboxing can seem strange for the beginners since you are literally punching the air and lots of people wonder whether shadowboxing is good for a workout or not. Others are curious about how to do it and whether it can be done at home. For this reason, I have put together this video that clearly explains and demonstrates how and why you should do shadowboxing:
