Simple, minimal, shadowboxing app. Put in your headphones. Press Start. Box. Audio cues will tell you which move to perform (e.g. cross, hook, slip). Sometimes moves will be played in your left or right ear. Perform the move on that side. For example, "hook" in your left ear means left hook. "Slip" in your right ear means slip right.
