Boxer’s Workout

Shadowboxing
Run through your shadowboxing routine. Include
stance, footwork and rhythm, punches, combinations
and defensive maneuvers. This is a warm up and a
chance to examine form.

While looking at yourself in the mirror, start each drill
slowly and gradually build speed:
Stepping in four directions
Long and short rhythm
Jabs
Straight right and left hooks
Uppercuts
One-two combinations
One-two-three combinations
Jabs with stepping
Rights and hooks with blocks, slips and ducks
Rights and hooks stepping up and back

Work the bag as if it’s a real opponent. Pretend you’re defending
against and countering a variety of attacks.
