SHADOW BOXING FOR CARDIO..

 Alright so, most of us get bored of the same cardio workouts we all have been doing and the same workout the trainers have been suggesting us.

This cardio workout will be totally different and it will make you sweat in a matter of minutes. So lets break the ice.


Cardio will benefit us with mobility and endurance but with shadow boxing you might also be able to defend yourself, like you never know when the situation will come.

When you punch, the entire body come in cordination and all the power is tranferred to that one punch. While punching the arms, traps, abdomen, quads, shoulders and many muscles helps you deliver the punch. 

That's a alot of muscle involved right? But it can also use as a cardio where it will make your heart beat faster.

There is no need of puncing bag, but if you have one then well and good. Shadow boxing is a fight against yourself or just air. When you stand in front of the mirror and throw a punch in the air, you will see you are fighting againt yourself or its just the air.

Well you can think of your enemy, that might give you a boost.


Shadow boxing is not for just professional boxers but its also a great cardio workout. You can practice each move separately and then you can make your own deadly combination of punches.

1) Starting stance: Keep your dominant leg back and the other leg in front with soft knee. Keep your arms close to your face and keep the chin tuck. Now you are ready to throw some punches.

2) Jab: While you are in the starting stance position, throw a punch with your lead fist, and cover the face other hand.

3) Upper cut: When you jab and throw punches, include a upper cut punch which will make it a deadly combination. When you punch a opponents chin by rotating your arms that when it become a upper cut.

4) Hook: When you jab and throw some punches include cross where you punch through the lead arm to the opponents cheek. Use both the hand for hooks and combine them with punches like jab and uppercut. 

 Video link is added to the end of the blog for proper form.

This workout will work when there will be more repetitions so:

Jab-50 reps

Upper cut- 50 reps

Cross- 50 reps

Combination punch- 20 reps

Remember its shadow boxing so you will not require any equipments, you might only need a mirror in front of you for the proper form. Even though its a cardio workout, it can also use as self defence and you will get better grip at throwing punches once you get use to it. After this workout you can also add skipping rope and push ups to make it more intense. The below video link will help you in proper form.
