Well something like that. After the pad session the other day I've been getting into the idea of using shadowboxing in with my exercises. I found a good YouTube video which talks about incorporating shadowboxing into a cardio workout.
So I gave it a go on this mornings workout and man it was fun. Well if fun means getting worn out at 8am! I like it when things have a practical application, it's how I got through a calculus exam back in my younger days and never had to use it again!
Anyway so rather than just lifting weights or a medicine ball, etc... I am going to start including a bit of shadowboxing in between my regular exercises or some bodyweight moves. I have a photo of my friends shadowboxing drills on my phone which is two sheets of A4 with several combinations on each. So for example this morning I did the following:
Drill sheet 1
10 press ups
Drill sheet 2
10 sit ups
Drill sheet 1
20 bicycle legs
Drill sheet 2
8 press ups
Drill sheet 1
8 sit ups
Drill sheet 2
16 bicycles
Etc...
Working down to two reps of each move. I also threw in a medicine ball move called The Rocky where you sit down on the floor and pass the ball around your torso. I couldn't do this move properly a few weeks ago!
10 press ups

Etc...

So I'm going to do this more often give it a try in your own routines. A change is as good as a rest.
Let me know if you have any interesting drills I can try out. This one looks pretty good. I'll spend some time later to make a drill sheet or two in the style of my friends one from it rather than try to follow his number code.
