Everyone knows cardio is the way to go if you want to lose weight and change your confidence and your body. But simply sweating it out on a treadmill can get super repetitive and very boring. No one wants to spend hours on end just doing the same exact thing. While steady-state cardio can definitely help you burn calories and shave off that excess weight, it’s very hard to keep up because it can get stale after a while.
But boxing, can be the ultimate cardio workout that will engage both your upper and lower body and never be repetitive.
Boxing trains cardiovascular strength and endurance more effectively than the majority of the workouts available today. It has the power to condition the human body into an energy-efficient machine.
The intensive and rigorous pad work exercises in boxing, followed by the constant fast-paced repetition of striking and punching techniques is great in developing enhanced aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
When you are boxing, you can only focus on yourself. You start thinking about that annoying client or that 3pm meeting, then you lose focus. When you lose focus, you get hit in the face. You will quickly learn that disconnecting is far better than getting hit in the face. It is the feeling of total accomplishment. The hard work, the training, the sacrifice, the survival.
