5 benefits of boxing for fitness

Are you looking for a great workout that will torch calories, is fun and challenges you both mentally and physically?

Boxing may be your new favourite exercise and according to healthy mummy Kristy Mead, “Boxing not only helps to strengthen and tone your muscles, it also helps reduce stress and is whole lot of fun.”

Starting her own journey on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge, Kirsty now embodies someone who genuinely enjoys exercising.

Your local gym may do sessions, so there’s no need to sign up to a whole new program, but if the gym is not your thing, simply pick up some boxing gloves and focus pads at a sports store and go train in a park around your neighbourhood.

Kristy says to look for gloves with good padding and support around the thumbs, wrists and knuckles.

Kristy’s 5 reasons you should try boxing for fitness

1 Torches calories

“Boxing is high intensity in nature so will incinerate calories fast! It is fabulous for weight loss as your body will continue to burn calories long after you stop working out.”

2 A form of anger managemnet 

“Boxing is a great (and healthy) way to blow off some steam. Let’s face it… punching something feels pretty darn good when you’re stressed! Get those feel good hormones – endorphins and adrenaline flowing!”

3 It doesn’t feel like exercise

“Boxing is fun! It’s a massive challenge for your coordination, your body and your mind, and is totally exhilarating getting to the end of a smashing session.”

4 It keeps you accountable

“Boxing for fitness = accountability. You need a buddy to box with right? You don’t want to ditch your friend and leave her punching nothing.”

5 Blast the belly bulge

“Boxing is a killer workout for the core! Not only does boxing strengthen and tone the upper body and greatly improve cardiovascular fitness, it helps to build core stability and strength.”
