Boxing is less of a workout and more of a sport. A wholesome sport, which requires a high level of athletic prowess: agility, strength, endurance, nerve, power, speed and hand-eye coordination. If you opt for boxing as a workout, it hones the same athletic prowess inside you. If you look forward to take up a sport that is fun, tones and strengthens your body and increases your concentration at the same time, you must pick up boxing sack workout in your fitness regimen. If you ask us to give you the reasons, here they are:
1. Cardiovascular Health:
If you need to improve your heart's health, lose or maintain weight and burn calories, you can do it better with boxing. The crux is to put moderate stress on your lungs and heart so that they can pump up the challenge in front of them putting in some extra efforts. This way the body gets prepared to build up a stamina needed to stretch easily in testing times. As far as your heart rate is pumped up there is no point in not doing a boxing workout to lift up your cardiovascular health jumping, boxing, and kicking around.
2. Total body strength:
As you know that professional heavy bags weigh at least 100 pounds, you can well understand how much amount of surprising energy is required to punch, jump and kick that weight. You can punch and kick with your lower body, upper body and your core. When combined with other circuit training workouts, the boxing workout is power burst of energy.
3. Hand-eye coordination:
Boxing is high-intensity reflex action exercise and requires better hand-eye coordination. Locating the target, concentrating on that and then hitting the target with precision weighting all the pros and cons; all this and lot more goes into concentration required for the game or workout as it may seem to you. Apart from that, you need to be on your toes making those nerves jerk now and then to stand a defense in case of a boxing combat.
4. Fights out stress:
As discussed earlier, boxing fights out your inner and outer body stress with fun-factor. It takes out all the inbuilt aggression, and inhibitions and the person feels rejuvenated with the core strength at work. When you transition between high intensity rounds of exercise to moderate intensity recovery periods and pushing yourself to get those extra powerful punches into place, you are actually not left with any bandwidth left to think about anything else.
5. Knock-out your fat mass and increase muscle mass:
Boxing is a full-body workout and can be done with high intensity or moderate intensity; or further experimenting with the levels with all the heavy weight kicking, punching and jumping using whole of the strength of your body and concentrating your mind on better coordination to get the workout or process right. All taken together it is a winner for the right body-composition if incorporated in your daily exercise regimen.
