Where: At home — minimal space, zero heavy equipment
Why this program works
Boxing Full Body Burn pairs boxing-inspired intervals with functional training. Expect quick rounds that spike your heart rate, improve footwork and reaction time, and build practical strength you actually use day to day. Shadow boxing keeps impact low and learning high, so you’ll master core skills while burning serious calories.
What you’ll learn (boxing basics)
Stance & boxer guard for balance and defense
The 6 punches: jab, cross, lead hook, rear hook, lead uppercut, rear uppercut
Simple defense: basic slips, guards/blocks, and pivots to move safely and efficiently
Who it’s for
You enjoy intermediate training and want a fresh challenge
You like fast, focused workouts (under 30 minutes)
You want real boxing fundamentals plus full-body conditioning
You prefer low-impact learning (shadow boxing) with optional dumbbells

Pro tips for success
Think “quality reps.” Crisp technique beats rushing through combos.
Anchor your core. Tighten through punches and pivots for power and back safety.
Breathe with rhythm. Short exhales on strikes help you stay fast and relaxed.
Progress your load. Start light; add dumbbell weight only when form is locked in.
Recover right. Hydrate, walk, and stretch after sessions to bounce back faster.
