The elastic to stay slim

Usually when we box, we tend to bend down and spread our legs too far. This position is not good because it reduces our size and thus makes us lose our power.
The solution to this? Perform shadow boxing movements with an elastic band! This exercise will allow you to keep a small distance between your feet and thus remain perfectly slender in order to maintain the benefits of your height. The principle is simple: you place an elastic band around your legs, at the level of your ankles.

As a bonus, the use of a elastic in shadow boxing will allow you to develop your endurance.

The tennis ball for travel and defense 

Ideal for improving your footwork, channeling your movements, ensuring your defense and limiting the risk of KO, the tennis ball will become your best shadow boxing accessory! In order to improve your movements and your defense, the tennis ball can be used in different ways. First, dribble like a basketball to perfect your footwork. Otherwise, you can place it between your elbow and your bust or between your chin and your chest. This last way allows you to seal your defensive side.
