In The Spotlight
Lack of Equipment
Sat, 2007-01-27 23:48
I'm 16, and I live here up in Canada in a small town, and I'm trying to learn how to box but there aren't any nearby gyms or boxing programs that I can sign up. The only equipment I have in my basement is a Bowflex, Treadmill, Dumbbells and an Excersise ball. I don't even have gloves or a heavy bag, so I'm trying to make due with shadow-boxing and reading up techniques on boxing. I'm a pretty skinny guy, trying to get back into shape. I use to take Tae Kwondo for a bit, 3 years, and I've been taught boxing moves and stances. But until I get boxing equipment, what kind of boxing excersises can I do with what I've got, and what's a good schedule to go on? (By the way, I've got a lot of time in my week.)

For boxing specific skills, you can practice your footwork and shadowbox as you are already doing. There is a workout database in the training center as well that - while not stocked currently -- will quickly become a repository for exactly what you are asking for. (this goes for anyone -- anyone can submit exercises and workouts -- if you have good ones, please visit the training center and submit them).
In short, look at what you have and make do until you are at a point where you can take it to the next level.
