•• Intermediate Functional Endurance
Resistance Band Jabs (from Squat)
Why This Matters for Boxing
Jab power from a lowered stance. Body jabs require you to stay low while punching — this exercise trains both the leg endurance and the shoulder snap simultaneously.
How To Do It
- 1Loop a band around your back, holding ends in each hand.
- 2Get into a half-squat position.
- 3Throw fast jabs against the band resistance while staying low.
- 4Don't stand up between punches.
- 5Keep your knees bent throughout the entire set.
