Use this boxing app for your training and improve your skills from home or the gym, like a virtual boxing coach! Try existing training sessions or build your own workouts using the various exercises and settings. You can easily pick how much time you have ahead of you, the exercises you'd like to do, the intensity and start your boxing workout! If you already know how to fight, this is a great way to keep improving and stay motivated. If you don't it's a great way to learn boxing, work out and run boxing drills! SHADOW BOXING TRAININGS This boxing app features multiple intense shadow boxing & punching bag workout sessions. Some are a real challenge and others are easier for beginners learning how to box. For instance "20 minutes HIIT" is a very high intensity interval workout to burn a lot of calories and have fun... but you can find simpler ones to get started with boxing! NO EQUIPMENT REQUIRED You don't need any equipment to complete the various training and drills, but if you have a punching bag or a jump rope at home you'll be able to use them. TUTORIAL VIDEOS Don’t know how to box yet? No problems! The app features explanations of all the main boxing techniques to help you get started with the sport. PICK FROM MANY EXERCISES Mix it up by trying out different workout types, simulating what a real boxing coach would ask you to do: - PAD WORK will call out simple combos and freestyle combos to execute - FREESTYLE let you do your own thing with an optional audio boxing coach giving you ideas and directions - REPETITIONS gives you one combo to practice for an entire round - PUNCHING BAG to alternate fast and powerful sequences to build explosiveness on the heavy bag - DEFENSE to focus on dodging incoming attacks and countering - FOOTWORK will improve your movement and speed with simple drills - DODGE to focus on reaction speed, slipping and countering with simple punches - COUNTER PUNCHING where you start with a defensive action and retaliate Add additional calisthenics exercises like push-ups, burpees, mountain climbers, squats or sit-ups in between boxing rounds! This can get intense, but it's a great fitness exercise and will help with cardio and burning calories. JUMP ROPE & SPEED LADDER BOXING WORKOUTS Guided agility ladder and jump rope exercises to improve cardio and footwork. You can learn how to jump rope or the ladder with the app. CUSTOM TRAININGS You can create your custom shadow boxing training sessions and custom HIIT workouts. This is the perfect way to match what kind of fitness regimen you want to follow at home, like a 7 minute workout or something closer to boxercise. So if you want to get ready for fight camp, hard sparring or just lose some weight, man or woman, there'll be something for you! STATISTICS See your stats, follow your progress and remember when you last worked out. This will help you focus on your fitness target, weight loss or performance improvements. This is a great way to stay motivated while working out! FREE BOXING ROUND TIMER WITH NO ADS Use the free boxing round timer for your sparring sessions or heavy bag workouts. It will alternate between workout and rest periods and will ring a bell at the end of the round as well as give you an indication of the round coming to an end. You can use our pre-made timer modes to quickly set the rules from various martial arts like muay thaï, kick boxing, MMA, pro boxing or amateur boxing. LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC The audio cues will not stop the music from your favorite app like Spotify or Apple Music. You can even adjust the volume of all audio coaching and sound effects to make sure you get to listen to music as you'd like. iCLOUD & APPLE HEALTH SYNC Your workouts are automatically saved to iCloud so that you never lose track of your progress. You can also connect the app to Apple Health and to get deeper more insights on your boxing workouts alongside data about the rest of your fitness journey.
