» Do Some Calorie-Torching Boxing at Home With This No-Equipment, Total-Body Move
Boxing is a total-body, calorie-blasting workout - but you don't need a heavy bag to get the powerful effects. Try this shadow boxing move at home for a burst of cardio and conditioning, right from your living room.
While in traditional boxing you'd only do a cross from one side, with this at-home move you'll be repeating on both sides to give your body some balance. Make sure you're drawing power for your punches from your rotating foot and leg - less from your shoulder! Drive up from the ground for a more explosive punch.
- Stand with your abs tight and your back flat. Guard your face with your fists, and keep a soft bend in your knees.
- Keeping the weight in your right foot, pivot your left foot, rotating your abdomen toward the right as you throw your left punch across your body.
- Return to center, and repeat on the opposite side, maintaining a tight and stable core throughout.
- Continue for 30 to 60 seconds. For an added challenge, add a set of uppercuts for an additional 30 to 60 seconds.
