The opposite isn't true either. Both training methods, shadowboxing and heavy bag work build different qualities in a fighter and both are useful for fight preparation and a general boxing workout.

When you shadowbox you basically drill your movement and punch combinations without a partner and without equipment. This is an extremely effective method for beginners when they are first entering boxing. When you shadowbox in the gym, it's usually done in front of a mirror which, interestingly enough, makes it very similar to...practicing dancing. Yeah, that's right! Think about it, you have a mental model of how your body should move through space to get to a certain position, at a certain time. Obviously it's a different set of basic movements, but, you are learning a very raw dance, aimed at positioning you to strike your opponent and evade their attacks.","Why should you Shadowbox?",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"bd0ba0da-c1b8-4106-be74-c6443c631991","Shadowboxing is great for building boxing techniques, but because it doesn’t offer resistance to your punches, it won’t really help you increase your stamina and build your punching power.\\n\\nThe heavy bag builds on all that and conditions your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders to withstand the resistance of hitting an object with your arms, for (potentially) many rounds. Doing interval training on the bag (alternating periods of very intense activity and rest) will also help you keep a high level of power and speed in your movement and punches for the full duration of a fight. When you build your endurance on the heavy bag to be able to go for up to 6-7-8 rounds in a single session, you will feel a much different level of fighting endurance compared to your beginner self. Most people are born with a 1-punch knockout power, but the difference between the punching power of an untrained beginner boxer and a trained fighter with the same genetic makeup is huge. The heavy bag will help you realize what your body’s potential for punching power really is.","Why do you need to use a Heavy Bag in your training?",{"_uid":680,"answer":681,"question":682,"component":670},"08210ab1-b5e2-4062-97ee-02703356b044","(Intensity is what matters, I’ve burned more going 90% with shadowboxing than going 30-60% hitting the bag)\\n\\nHitting the heavy bag will burn more calories than shadowboxing. The bag allows you to land your punches with close to maximal power, and this can’t be emulated without resistance (i.e. throwing punches in mid-air with no heavy target to hit). Still, when you are on the go and you don't have access to a heavy bag, don't underestimate the effectiveness of a shadowboxing workout. Shadowboxing will increase your heart rate and body temperature, and you will definitely break a sweat--and if you put in the effort, you will activate and strengthen most of your body's muscles.","Does shadowboxing or hitting the heavy bag burn more calories?",{"_uid":684,"answer":685,"question":686,"component":670},"b6dbe386-60c9-4902-84fb-81d87e438619","I would say Shadowboxing can be a part of all of your training sessions (at the beginning and/or the end of the workout), while hitting the bag can be part of most sessions, but maybe skip on days that you are sparring with partners.\\nShadowboxing is usually done for fewer rounds than working the Heavy Bag. A typical session may include 3 rounds of shadowboxing at the beginning of the workout, followed by 5 rounds on the heavy bag (and probably including other exercises in-between/before/after those 2 drills).","How often should I Shadowbox and hit the Heavy Bag?",{"_uid":688,"answer":689,"question":690,"component":670},"7f61c74b-08c6-4a01-a9ab-d256ed348f18","No!

A HIIT workout is usually between 10-30 minutes, but it packs a punch. One study showed that a 30-minute HIIT workout burned around 25-30% more calories than 30 minutes of a traditional workout. Pushing yourself to the max in short bursts also increases your calorie burn long after you’ve hung up your gloves. \n\n-Tones Muscle\nBy ramping up your resting metabolic rate, HIIT turns your body into a fat-burning machine. Consistent HIIT training will increase and tone muscle while reducing overall body fat. This makes HIIT one of the most physically transformative methods of training you can do.\n\n-Adds Variety\nHIIT is fun because you can switch it up. Boxing and kickboxing are great for HIIT because there are so many exercises to choose from. The quick periods of high intensity in any routine add a challenge to what would otherwise be a repetitive workout.\n\n-Improves Cardiovascular Health\nAll exercise is foundational to good health, but HIIT has proven to be exceptionally good for the heart. HIIT strengthens the heart muscle and raises your blood oxygen levels, contributing to a healthier cardiovascular system. Some studies have shown that HIIT resulted in greater improvements in blood pressure and blood sugar than moderate-intensity workouts. ","What are the benefits of HIIT?\n",{"_uid":1128,"answer":1129,"question":1130,"component":670},"d546160f-0f6f-4893-bb1c-dccaa63bd894","You’d include HIIT in your training when you want to challenge yourself or if you are plateauing with any of your fitness goals. HIIT essentially takes your workout up a notch by increasing the calorie burn, oxygenation, and intensity. If you feel stagnated, add a HIIT workout once or twice a week to get back on track.\n\nHIIT is great if you are ever just bored with any workout, as well. Striving to reach your maximum potential is exhilarating and can reignite the fun of your exercise routine. Many fighters can lose motivation for certain training cornerstones like roadwork, for example. Dialing up the intensity for some of your roadwork drills can make a huge difference and increase the effectiveness of your training.\n\nOne of the best things about HIIT is you can get creative with it.

This doesn’t mean you should be predictable with your punches. It just means that you should try and keep your flow steady rather than switch between a ‘sprint’ pace and a ‘walk’ pace in between punches. The reason for this is that keeping a steady punching rhythm allows your body to maintain and adjust purely on muscle memory rather than conscious adjustment.

Breathing and activating your diaphragm when throwing shots has the dual benefit of ensuring your core is engaged in the punch and making sure you maintain your oxygen levels, especially during long combos.

If this is tricky, bend one elbow and go one arm at a time.\n\n2. World's Greatest Stretch \n-From high active plank, push in to bear squat, and lunge left foot forward. \n-Next to the left hand, raise the left hand to the sky. \n-As you breathe, maintain a straight right rear leg, pushing your heel towards the floor. \n-Lower the left hand and step your left foot back. REPEAT on the right and alternate for 60-90 seconds.\n\n3. Kneeling Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch\n-Step your right foot forward from a kneeling position far enough to lower your hips towards the floor. \n-Reach back (if possible) with your right hand, grab onto your left ankle, and maintain an upright posture. \n-Hold this position and breath slowly for 30-60 seconds, then switch legs.\n\n4. Cat/Cow\n-Start on all fours, neutral spine. \n-Inhale and let your belly fall as you lift your chin and your eyes look up. Draw your shoulders away from your ears. \n-Upon exhaling, press through your hands, round the spine, and tuck the tailbone.\n\n5. Thread the Needle\n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under your chest behind the opposite arm. \n-Bring your right shoulder to the floor, then return to the start. Pair the movement with your breath, and take 3-4 slow breaths before switching arms.\n\n6. Thread the Needle With a Twist \n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under the chest behind the opposite arm. Bring your right shoulder to the floor. \n-While the shoulder is down toward the floor, let your top arm open to a 'T' position, straight to the ceiling. \n-Return to the starting position.\n\n7. Scorpion Stretch (Prone) \n-Begin lying down, arms out in T. \n-Bring your right arm in, hand near the chest, and use it to pin down your left shoulder as you take your right leg (opposite of pinned shoulder) up and over and allow your hips to open up.","What stretches should you do after a workout?\n",{"_uid":1937,"answer":1938,"question":1939,"component":670},"3b596f54-fe8f-4ec9-bcde-7461d17c5a39","The stretches listed above should be done at least 5 days a week for at least 5 minutes to promote range of motion improvements.

Working Out at Home\nThe wonderful thing about working out from home is that it offers numerous benefits. Being able to do it whenever you want, day or night, no waiting in line to use gym equipment, no commute to and from, the list goes on. Sometimes home workouts can have the exact opposite effect.\n\nThis typically arises because we are most comfortable in our own homes. Once we are done with the work day and back at home, it's all too easy to get comfortable and not want to get up and start that workout. So, how do you manage this?\n\nSet aside time - Set aside specific times each day for exercise, making sure to block off calendars if it’s during the middle of the day, or carve out 20/30 minutes before or after work. That time is protected and you made plans for it.\n\nTurn up the media - Really not feeling it? Blast some of your favorite pump-up jams or listen to a motivational speech or podcast.\n\nJust start - Sometimes the hardest part is just starting, but once you get going, it's easier to find the drive along the way. Remember, nobody ever regretted finishing a workout. \n\n2. Staying Committed to Exercising Daily\nSometimes it's not that we lack the motivation to work out, sometimes it is the motivation to work out consistently. That’s not to say that you have to work out seven days a week, 365 days a year, but staying adherent to consistency long-term leads to lifestyle changes. \n\nSo how can you find the motivation to exercise daily? Simple. Have active rest days. Active rest days can be utilized on a consistent basis to incorporate daily movement into your life, without overtaxing the body and nervous system. Here are some options to include on active rest days that have been shown to have numerous health benefits.\n\n-Outdoor walks/hikes in nature\n-Easy pace swims\n-Sauna sessions\n-Low-intensity yoga\n-Mobility work \n-Stretching\n\n3. Morning Workouts Before Starting the Day\nOne of the best ways to ensure that you get your workout in for the day is to do it before work or before the kids are up. Sometimes, that is easier said than done. Your bed ends up becoming too comfy and getting out from under the covers seems like a real struggle; the motivation becomes non-existent. Here's how to do it.\n\nGetting into a good morning routine starts the night before in the evening time. This means developing a routine that becomes a habit. \n\n-Turning off electronics the last hour\n-Sleeping in a blacked-out environment\n-Getting to bed at the same time each night\n-Set out your workout clothes the night before\n\nSimply incorporating a few key disciplines each night can help ensure you fall asleep quickly and get the most out of each sleep session. Then, when the alarm rings at 5 a.m. to get up for your workout, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on that 20 minute H.I.I.T. session.\n\n4. End-of-Day Workouts\nWhile working out before work or taking the kiddos to school may be ideal for some, it may not be an option for others. So the only option is to work out post office hours. This can sometimes be a pitfall for motivational levels. You just put in an eight or more hour day, and now you need to find the energy to work out. How do you now find motivation when you don't want to work out?\n\nHere are a couple of ways to help you get that motivation for working out at the end of the day.\n\nMake it a priority - The excuses are easy to find once you’ve put in a full day's worth of work. The truth of the matter usually comes down to not wanting it bad enough. Finding your reason “why” you work out or have certain goals can certainly help when the motivation is not there. \n\nDo it right away - The reason most fail with post-work exercise is that we get too comfy. Here is how you can combat that. Once you immediately get home from work/finish working remotely, don’t unwind just yet, get into those gym clothes, turn on your fitness app, and start your workout. \n\nFamily first - Other times it literally is not feasible to work out immediately following your nine-to-five. Some have to pick up kids, make dinner, help with homework, etc. That’s totally understandable. Here is that workaround. \n\nOnce the kids have gone to sleep and it has been at least an hour or 2 since you’ve eaten dinner, use that time for yourself and for your workout. You’ll feel great by ending the day with a sweat session and it will help you sleep better too!","How can you get motivated to work out?",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":2458,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":2470,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2471,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":2459,"component":39,"meta_info":2467,"block_image":2468,"cover_image":2469,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":2460,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":2465,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":2466,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":2461,"component":118,"meta_info":2462,"meta_title":7,"block_image":2463,"cover_image":2464,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":270,"title":271,"plugin":43,"description":272},{"id":274,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":276,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":278,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":279,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"556f66aa-ba69-478f-94b7-752150a263c0",{"type":731,"content":2474},[2475,2480,2494,2508,2513,2517,2522,2526,2564,2568,2573,2577,2581,2586,2590,2595,2609,2613,2633,2638,2642,2646,2704,2709,2713,2717,2743,2756,2761,2765,2769,2796,2800,2805,2809,2813,2823],{"type":740,"attrs":2476,"content":2477},{"level":742},[2478],{"text":2479,"type":738},"How to Stay Motivated to Work Out",{"type":734,"content":2481},[2482,2484,2492],{"text":2483,"type":738},"Motivation is a fleeting entity.
