is it me or is shadowboxing the most boring thing to do with boxing?

i know its good for tecnique and stuff but i was just wondering if anyone felt the same?

Yeah i agree, i always try to find ways to make it more interesting though. Like i chose a random move to try master, last time i worked on side stepping and throwing the left hook fluently. Made it more fun :)

i always get dead embarrased lol
its like talking to yourself
getting technique you could easily spar/use bags surely? lol

If its boring then Boxing isn't for you.

I love shadowboxing ..... i do it in the shower and in my sleep

ill wake up and shadow
i think its fun personally
helps to pick out flaws and work on new things you can try sparring or in a bout
to think any part of boxing is boring is showing you that you need new sport

If its boring then Boxing isn't for you.

You seem pretty final about that, is there scientific evidence to back up this statement?

i think shadowboxing is key training for improvement, best t hing to do... but ya it can get boring at times. i like to shadowbox to music in rhytem to make it fun and time passes way faster like that. and switch up styles in rounds n do different things to make it fun, throw tons of punches one round, focus on combos or speed / powerpunching for some rounds. make it fun, think, use ur brain, shadowboxing is mental too.

If you box and say that shadowboxing is boring then that's a problem, when shadow boxing is a very usefull thing to do. You can work on a lot of things, therefore improving your footwork and visualizing someone infront of you to execute different angles. Shadow boxing is VERY usefull and if you box and say its boring then that's a problem and probaly boxing isn't for you.

I find shadowboxing to be fun usually. But I think its lame when Im at the gym because I could be doing something I couldnt normally be doing, like the double end bags or sparring. I sometimes just warm up with 1 or 2 easy rounds on equipment I dont have at home and save the shadowboxing for those random times when I really want to box outside the gym.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''

shadow boxing is never boring if you are doing it right.

i think, maybe, people forgot why they shadow box in the first place.
