Cardio Technique

Shadow boxing is an excellent form of exercise you can perform to develop core strength, agility and also gain some conditioning. As silly as the technique may look, it has benefits far and above just practicing boxing technique (although that remains it's primary purpose).

Shadow boxing is used by many athletes in combat sports, or not as a brilliant addition to their workout. It's ability to develop agility and serve as a conditioning exercise is extremely beneficial. It also serves as a way to improve balance, and work out many parts of the body at once. It serves as a good addition to diet to help you lose that fat.

Aside from the physical benefits of shadow boxing, there is the fact that it is way more entertaining that mere running. Try critiquing form while doing it, or trying to speed up your punches. Slowly add more types of footwork and punches, maybe even bobs and weaves. Slowly adding all this will give you the opportunity to vary your exercise and avoid boredom.

Improve the way you look, perform, and exercise with shadow boxing.
