Boxing
Is boxing the right fit for me?
Boxing is a good full-body workout. It covers all body areas and provides a useful balance between cardio and resistance training.
Short bursts of high intensity cardio are shown to burn more fat than a steady state cardio session, and also continue to burn more calories long after the workout is over.
It's not all about getting in the ring either, a lot of clubs offer sessions focussing on the boxing skills or even Boxercise / BoxFit classes.
