As well as a great stress buster, boxing is a great way to lose weight. It is possible to lose 600-800 calories through a 45-60 minute workout.
Boxing, Muay Thai and kick boxing all offer the cardiovascular, toning and conditioning needed to get fit and your body into shape. The way classes are structured means that your whole body gets a thorough workout. A combination of circuits, stretches, toning exercises prior to putting on the gloves to practice different punches on the bag means there is little time to get bored and you walk out exhausted but exhilarated.
And don’t fall for the illusion that this is a man’s sport although a number of guys get the gloves on at least the same amount of women are happy to hit the bag at JAB.
