BALAZS BOXING FITNESS NEWSLETTER
March 2011 - #69
Welcome! In this month's issue Andy and Jamie discuss the great benefits mirror training provides.
The training tips and instructions come from their boxing training book, "Knockout Fitness". As quoted by Julio Cesar Chavez: "The information in this book offers you the key to your ultimate fitness dreams, providing insight and inspiration to start and attain your own personal fitness goals."
Andy & Jamie's Fitness Tip: Mirror Training - Immediate Feedback
All training requires feedback. Your visual image gives technical feedback instantaneously, so you can correct your punch execution, body alignment and movement patterns.
When you do not have a coach or a trainer with you, use the mirror to give information on your execution of movement, whether it be weight training, shadow boxing, step training or rope jumping.
Shadow Boxing: More than just a warm-up
Shadow boxing incorporates all boxing techniques and is done without a bag or partner. The punches, footwork, and slipping are practiced over and over until each move leads smoothly into the next.
Common Mistakes & Training Tips
Mistake: Standing in one place.
Tip: Start moving without punches, focusing on footwork
Mistake: Dropping hands from chin
Tip: "One hand out, one hand back" principle
