shadowboxing what is it can I do it at
home is it good for a workout? how do I
do it
these are some of the questions I've
been getting on Instagram about
shadowboxing and on this video i'm
about to answer them all
shadow boxing is something that all
boxers do for a few reasons one it's a
great extension of the warmed warm look
the specific muscles your body used for
that session -2  it's great for fighters
to visualize their opponents 3 it's
great for working on bad habits if
you've got bad habits like dropping your
hands it's great for that and for it's a
great great workout so let's get started
when shadow boxing you've got to
concentrate about having good form all
the time
hands up high in that boxing stance
position and when you throw on the
punches you've got to throw them it
realistic as if something is in front of
your head you want to throw up there
with shadow boxing form and technique is
super important you always want to be
working on trying to perfect your form
getting good habits and if you've never
shadow box before it can feel pretty
awkward punch in fresh air but that's
what you're going to do and the more you
do it the easier it becomes you want to
get in your boxing stance with your
hands up having the perfect boxing
stance all the time you can work on a
number of things with this
footwork stance position hands up
punches combinations defense you can
work on everything with shadow boxing so
pick one or two things you want to work
on and focus on that here's one example
I'm gonna concentrate on good footwork
and defense so my hands are up high I'm
movin movin now I'm defending movin
defending move backwards and forward
working on defense another example I'm
going to work on punches and defense so
I'm going to throw punches and I'm going
to defend after every punch a
combination
next I'm gonna show you is feint then
attack them so I'm gonna feint and
they'll attack in boxing you would feint
to get  your opponent to either cover up
or to fool punch and then once you
still not then you would attack so I'm
here feint and feint move and move it feint 
and then attack
fient then attack next one it's going to
be a three-punch combination and then
move your feet I want a different
combination every time so when you're
doing this it's great to work your mind
because you got to think about it so
different combination every time three
punches and now with that you can do two
punches four punches five punches six
punches a different combination every
time next one I'm going to show you is
high-intensity this one it's going to
get your heart beating gonna really give
you a great workout so if this you want
to punch as fast as you can moving your
feet as fast as you can staying relax all
the time just a couple of minutes of
that and that's really gonna get your
heart beating fast it's a great way to
work out but like anything start slow
get comfortable and then you can speed
it up to that intensity perfect practice
makes perfect
