I hear you. I attribute all the years of boxing I did to how easily my shoulders develop now. Plus it mixes things up. When a lot of people think of boxing cardio..they think of skipping rope and hitting the bags.
That is part of it, but we also used to hit tractor tires with sledge hammers, "battle ropes", and one of my favorites were they would tie a string diagonally across the ring at shoulder height...and you would start at one end and "bob and weave" all the way to the other going under the rope and switching sides each step.
Great way of coordinating you feet with your upper body girdle.
