Speed Ladder 101 on Video: A Look Inside the New Program

The Shadow Boxing App runs your training from your phone, calling out combinations, timing your rounds, and teaching techniques with video. Speed ladder work is the newest thing we added to it, and the video below is the quick tour of what that program covers.

Speed Ladder 101 is built for people who have never rolled out a ladder before, or who bought one and never got past fast feet. It runs over five days: basic movements first, then drills, then punches on the move, then the harder drills and combinations. The clip shows what the drills actually look like, which is more useful than any description we could write. If you want the longer version, we wrote about why the speed ladder is worth adding to your boxing training.

The app is free to download, and Speed Ladder 101 sits alongside the shadow boxing, heavy bag, and jump rope content already in there. All you need is a ladder, which usually costs less than $15, and a bit of floor space.
