# Boxing Right Uppercut

Stand in a boxing stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, left foot forward, and hands up in a guard position near your chin.

## How to do it

1. Stand in a boxing stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, left foot forward, and hands up in a guard position near your chin.
2. Bend your knees slightly and rotate your hips and shoulders, bringing your right fist upward in a rising arc to throw an uppercut.
3. Quickly retract your right arm back to the guard position.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Keep your non-punching hand up to protect your face and maintain a balanced stance.
- Engage your core to generate power and maintain stability.
- Focus on driving the punch from your legs and hips to add power to the uppercut.
