Fitness Boxing

Boxing workouts are among the fastest paths to weight loss and all-round fitness. One look at a boxer in a ring and you'll know why!

For anyone who is interested in not just losing weight, but also becoming strong, lean and toned, boxing training is the answer. Boxing workouts are intense, so you burn calories at a high rate and work on all the muscles of your body. This will leave you with a toned body and stronger, more defined arms and legs. Boxing related movements require you to develop balance and coordination. Thus you will find that your coordination will improve and your body will become more stable and you will be able to maintain good form.

Boxing workouts to lose weight are effective as they can make you burn anywhere between 350 and 500 calories in just one hour. This is because the exercises that constitute boxing training i.e, pad and bag work, skipping and ground work are all aerobic exercises. The workouts involve repetitive motions in punching and movement which are supported by the "core" muscles of the body. This develops local muscular endurance, cardiovascular efficiency and imparts strength training. This kind of activity is also said to help relieve stress and improve mental acuity.
