Thread: Bouncy ball for boxing?

I seen in the rocky movies how hes always bouncing that ball. Im guessing it helps your hand eye coordination and reflexes? i dont think you can do that with a regular reaction ball because they go crazy but would a regular bouncey ball like little kids use work too? i mean would it give me a benefit?

Good routine

I think it's just Rocky mate...

You can get 'reaction balls' which are meant to help with proprioception and reactions etc... but Rocky... along with his fingerless gloves, jacket, bouncy ball etc is all just part of the character.

You could chase chickens?

Don't forget to make all your work-out seems like a training montage! :P

And yeah I would be surprise if the bouncy ball thingy would actually helpful since he just always make it bounce.

The Guy doing the Bouncing is working on Touch and Feel. As you will notice the Balls are a different size.Ive noticed on my Travels that there is a connection, between certain Ball games and other Sports, that there is a Crossover. Plus Boxers seem to enjoy it.
