Boxing has seen a
boost in popularity and has overtaken yoga as the latest fitness craze this
year. With world class supermodels
Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima and Gisele all wild about the sport,
this has become the hottest way for women to get fit. Boxing glove sales are up 130% and I bought
mine a few months ago when I began boxing and now I am obsessed.
Boxing allows you to push
boundaries and feel super confident. You
develop an addiction and want more. The
workout includes jumping jacks, squats, running in place and strength
training. It is a mental and physical
workout that leaves you drenched to the core.
Benefits, you ask? Fat burning,
increased metabolism, muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, improved core
stability, hand-eye coordination, strength and power. All this and it is a stress reliever,
too! Focus on someone/something
unpleasant as you jab, cross, hook and uppercut and your anger will dissolve.
Boxing will build lean
muscle-mass and tone your entire body. You will find that you are training on a
whole new level shifting between aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The
combination of cardio and strength training will allow you to burn calories
without bulking up. Even better, the boost in your metabolism ensures you'll be
burning calories throughout class and long after you leave. With an intense
focus on improving core strength, you'll be ready to show off that six-pack
sooner than you thought.
Ready to hit the
ring? Buy your own gloves (you don’t
want to stick your hands in those smelly ones everyone borrows) and find a
class in your gym or at the numerous boxing gyms that have sprouted up
everywhere. Good luck and remember to
float like a butterfly and sting like a beeJ
