A Guided Punching Bag Workout, on Video

The Shadow Boxing App is a boxing workout app that calls out punches and combinations in real time, so you can train on the heavy bag or shadow box without a coach standing next to you. The most common problem people have on the bag is not effort, it’s ideas: after two rounds of throwing the same 1-2, the session goes flat. Having someone else decide what you throw next fixes that instantly.

The clip below is a punching bag workout run with the app. The combinations come in through the audio callouts, and the job is simply to react and put them on the bag with decent form. It’s a good way to see what training with the app actually feels like before you download anything, and if you like drills in this style there’s also a clip of body hooks on the heavy bag worth watching.

If you have a bag at home or at the gym, you can try one of these workouts for free. Download the app, pick a heavy bag session, and let it run the round while you focus on hitting. No signup, no paywall to get started.
