5 Benefits of Boxing

Boxing is an extremely popular sport to watch around the world. Boxing training can provide numerous health benefits to everyone, not just the professionals. The art of boxing is more than just a physical fight but requires self-control, discipline, and motivation. Here are five health benefits that boxing can provide. 

 

  1. Weight Loss 

A goal for most people who are into fitness is weight loss. Boxing is a great fitness option for those looking to lose weight. No matter the drill, boxing will make you sweat a lot. Boxing is a great cardio exercise that can contribute to burning calories and overall weight loss. One hour of boxing can end up burning 1000 calories or more. 

 

  1. Improves Cardiovascular Health

A great benefit to boxing is that it can improve your cardiovascular health immensely. Boxing is a form of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and can train your body to manage intense physical activity. High Intensity Interval Training has been connected to a decreased risk of heart disease. Boxing can help strengthen your heart, improve circulation, and help prevent heart attacks. 

 

  1. Self-Defense 

Although there are many sports that can teach self-defense, boxing is one of the best ways to protect yourself. Boxing will teach you how to pack a punch and block incoming attacks. In addition, boxing teaches you how to defend yourself in an upright position relying only on your hands, positioning, and footwork. 

 

  1. Improved Reflexes & Coordination 

Boxing can be linked to improved reflexes and reaction times. If someone is swinging punches at you, your natural reflexes will start to kick in forcing you to doge out of the way. Over time, these reflexes will become second nature to you. In addition, boxing will improve your hand-eye coordination and body awareness. 

 

  1. Boxing for Parinkison’s 

Research has shown that boxing can help those diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Boxing may even contribute to slowing down the progression of Parinkison’s. Boxing can help those with Parinkison’s regain agility, speed, endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork and strength.
