Lateral Cone Shuffles
Why This Matters for Boxing
Quick lateral direction changes. In boxing, you need to change direction instantly — to evade, cut angles, or set up your attacks. Cone shuffles train the explosive lateral push-off that makes your footwork sharp.

- 1Set up 3-5 cones about 3 feet apart in a line.
- 2Start at one end in your fighting stance.
- 3Shuffle laterally through the cones as fast as possible.
- 4Touch the ground at each end.
- 5Don't cross your feet.
