Day 24- Rest and a little cardio

Rest day today but just felt the need to fit some cardio in. Did about 30 minutes of shadow boxing with ankle weights and light hand weights, did some stretching at the end to loosen up the muscles.

I felt i needed to do something today as i always find myself really stiff the day after i have been using weights. Shadow boxing including kicks really works your whole body and you can go at a pace you feel comfortable.

Shadow Boxing is basically practicing your punches, kicks and blocks or whatever other moves you want to try. Dont be sloppy though with your movements, imagine you are facing off with someone and make the movements counts. If you practice sloppy form in fighting then you will not succeed in actual combat.
