Does shadow-boxing provide good exercise?

[Mike Rotch]

Title says it all. Can it be effective exercise if done intensely or for a decent exercise period?

Yes!

If you can get your heart rate up while doing it, then it can be an effective excercise.

Anything can be great excercise if you keep a good heart rate up.

Shadow boxing is great... go do a couple of sessions of boxing n u'll see how much of a benefit shadow boxing real can be.

I've started doing some jab-jab-cross SB with a 5 pound dumbell in each hand. Sheesh. It kills my arms by the time im done. But it still feels good afterwards.

Try doing a walking lunge while simultaneously doing reverse or straight punches with weights.
