Throw A Punch

Celebrities, athletes, and health experts have all raved about boxing as one of the most complete workouts today, with its power combination of cardio, abdominal exercises, diversified sessions, and just plain fun while throwing away those punches. For regular students, it can be thrilling experience, while weary professionals consider it as a good way to de-stress.

Unlike before when different boxing gyms were intended only for training professional boxers, these venues have now opened their doors to the public- ordinary men and women who just want to try out a different exercise and reap boxing's fitness benefits!

Sessions usually last for an hour, starting with a warm up (a must have), followed by three-minute laps around the gym, sessions where you throw different combinations of punches on your trainer's mitts, exercises with punching bags and speed balls, and the abdominal workout to strengthen the core. There are one-minute breaks in between sessions, so that the student can conserve energy and pace him/herself properly.

Doing the mitt sessions on an actual boxing ring also helps in boosting the confidence and performance of students. And of course, with all that strenuous training, boxing enthusiasts get to improve their energy level, and burn fat during and after the workout.
