Before a boxing workout, it's important to warm up properly. Your stance should be flat with the front foot forward, while your back foot should be bent. The elbows should be resting against your ribs and your body should be lightly weighted. You'll be able to avoid injuries and improve your technique by doing this. And if you're a beginner, try to practice one technique each round. For example, practice jabs in the first round and crosses in the second, and head movement in round three. You can also practice counterpunches in round four. You can mix and match techniques, or use different combinations.

Your boxing workouts for beginners should also include pivoting and sidestepping. These movements can put you out range of counters.
