1. Limbers up the Body
2. Great Warm Up before the primary workout
3. Great for Muscle Memory (as long as you are throwing punches, moving, and using defensive techniques correctly)
4. Helps strengthen your visualization of what your objectives are during an actual bout (sparring/or competitive)
5. Strengthens technique combining your offensive and defensive mechanics.

I honestly believe it helps your mental game just as much as your physicall preperation
(as long as you are doing it right)


Side Note: You should be sweating pretty heavily when done, otherwise your just pretending and wanting to look like a boxer. (someone said that on here before)
