I usually only shadowbox as a warmup exercise or I'll do a few rounds of shadow boxing on an 'active recovery' day.
Today though I thought Id revolve an entire workout session around shadowboxing and burpees as my legs were feeling a bit fekked from sprint sessions.
Basically I did 2 minute rounds of hard shadowboxing, the last 30 seconds Id do burpees (about 12), rest one minute and then repeat, after about 3 rounds of this Id do one minute of burpees non stop, rest one minute and then back to the shadowboxing. By hard shadowboxing I mean high workrate, lots of combination punching and lots of head and foot movement.
Entire session lasted just under an hour and im surprised at how much it worked me. I was originally planning on just doing some moderate roadwork today but I think this has worked out much better.
So if anyone ever wants a good alternative to roadwork that doesnt really tax the joints and bones shadowboxing and burpees is the way to go!
