Wrap your hands and check your gloves and the space around you. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles with light movement.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start in your guard stance with light footwork. Throw easy punches and bring your hands back to your guard.

STEP 3

End phase

Ease into light shadowboxing and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Punches and footwork work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Generate power with your legs and torso rotation, then extend through your shoulders and arms.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Keep your wrist straight when punching to protect it. Do not fully lock your elbow at the end of a punch.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale sharply with each punch and keep breathing between combinations. Use rests between rounds to settle your breathing.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent boxing. Do not enter punch counts, rounds, or distance.
