Boxing
Come along and have a free trial session
Boxing is one of the most demanding but also most rewarding forms of exercise
training. It conditions your entire body and provides one of the most
challenging and enjoyable workouts of any sport. The physiological as well as
psychological benefits of boxing are extensive. These include increased self
discipline and self confidence, increased agility, speed, coordination,
endurance and strength. Unlike most forms of training, reflexes are also
improved and skills are learnt.
Boxing is a high intensity full-body workout that will make you physically
stronger as well as aerobically and anaerobically fitter. It is a complete
workout for your cardiovascular and endurance systems as well as training upper
body, lower body and core strength.
Calorie expenditure and fat burning are very elevated during boxing as it is
such a high intensity workout utilizing large muscle groups and constantly
keeps you moving. Boxing does not tend to add muscle bulk as much as tone and
define muscle because it involves such high repetitions.
Boxing is a workout that can accommodate for all levels of strength and fitness
and can be enjoyed by beginner to advanced participants. Drills can easily be
modified to increase or decrease intensity and complexity of the workout.
