4 Benefits of Boxing Workouts

Four Benefits of Boxing Workouts

The importance we place on exercise and an active lifestyle has shifted in the past decade. More Americans are getting active and exercising regularly, and more belong to health clubs and specialty gyms.

However, not all physical activity is created equal. Depending on your fitness goals, certain workouts may be more effective than others. Individuals looking to slim down gravitate toward treadmills and elliptical trainers. People who want to tone up head to the weight room.

But, these people are missing out on a workout that does it all – boxing

TITLE Boxing Club classes work every part of the body, sculpting muscles and increasing endurance. It combines the benefits of some of the most popular training programs into one full-body challenge. The high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts benefit the body and mind in the following ways:

  1. Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise, sometimes referred to as cardio, is the type of workout that challenges your cardiovascular system. Well-known examples of aerobic exercise include running or biking, which increase your heart rate and demand for oxygen. Aerobic exercises can increase endurance and are a great way to shed fat.

Cardiovascular strength can reduce your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke ‑ some of the most common aliments in the United States – as well as boost energy levels and improve sleep.

Aerobic exercise is just as important for your head as it is for your heart – especially among women. It has been linked to a sharp mind, lowering the risk of dementia and helping individuals maintain independence as they age. Aerobic exercise is a crucial part of any exercise and fitness routine.

Cardio is the basis for boxing, kickboxing and MMA classes at TITLE Boxing Club. The HIIT in TITLE Boxing Club classes works your cardiovascular system and your mind as you jab, cross and uppercut a 100-pound heavy bag.

  1. Fat Loss

Boxers are typically trim because the workout that accompanies boxing creates lean athletes. Boxing is a high calorie burning workout. You could burn up to 900 calories in an intense half hour workout.

The calories you consume in food and drinks give you the energy you need for physical activities. When you burn more than you’ve consumed, your body takes energy from its stored calories, or fat. High calorie burning workouts result in burning fat and weight loss. A healthy body weight can increase mobility, reduce joint pain and boost energy levels.

The intense TITLE Boxing Club workouts leave you sweating and burning calories even after you’ve completed your workout. Just like the pros, members work in rounds on the heavy-bag to burn calories and fat.

  1. Muscle Gain

As you jab and cross, your muscles must react quickly. Even though you’re not holding weights, you are working your whole body and building muscle. The energy applied in each move works to strengthen and increase power and speed.

Increased muscle can increase life expectancy. Strong, not skinny, is dominating fitness trends, and we’re seeing celebrities and supermodels show off boxing workouts and their toned muscles. This desirable physique is achievable through boxing workouts. Each TITLE Boxing Club class contains cardio, core and heavy bag exercise sections, meaning you’re challenging every muscle, every time.

  1. Stress Relief

Exercise has stress relieving effects. It triggers a release of the feel-good hormone, dopamine. When it comes to boxing, many find relief from the stress of work, school and daily life by hitting the bag and releasing energy in a constructive environment ‑ because it feels good. Boxing workouts take stress relief up a notch to by transforming stress into power and strength.

Boxing workouts encompass multiple benefits of exercise they strengthen your body, mind and heart. The popular workout is gaining traction, with more Americans choosing membership at smaller boutique gyms over traditional health clubs. TITLE Boxing Club provides a variety of workouts and is dedicated to giving people the most empowering boxing workout of their lives, no matter age, body type, weight or ability. It’s why our mission is “to be the best hour of someone’s day.”
