Why should we don the gloves and punch a pad?
Fat Burning
Considered high intensity training, boxing has the benefit of burning as much as 500 calories in one session PLUS calories continue to burn post-workout.
Body Tone
I won't lie, I love a lovely toned physique. Boxing does just that without the 'bulk' which comes from slow controlled movements. The fast pace and repetitious boxing movements shapes and tones muscle giving you a sexy lean look.
Strong Bones and Ligaments
Resistance training is all about strengthening the body. Your joints, tendons and ligaments strengthen with this resistance style training which is important as it reduces the chance of injury.
Healthy Cardiovascular System
Ahhhhh a cardio workout at its best! A full body workout using all vital organs like the heart and lungs to produce oxygen all around the body therefore these vital organs gain strength by working hard.
Improved Muscular Endurance
With regular training, your muscles can keep contracting for longer durations without getting tired, allowing you to train harder for longer and ultimately burn more calories.

Boosts Mood and Energy Levels
Exercise releases endorphins which produce those feel-good hormones not to mention the increased energy levels which will see you flying through the DAY in no time.
Reduces the chance of illness
Sitting for long periods of time has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is also associated with increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Studies found that every hour spent sitting increases cardiovascular disease and risk of cancer.
Increases Productivity
Sometimes a situation crops up early in the week that needs a great deal of brain power to solve. When this happens, the best solution is to engage in a little sweat session. When the blood flow and oxygen levels are increased, the brain creates new connections which improve your cognitive performance, helping to solve those tricky problems, issues and thoughts.
Reduces Stress
When we exercise, our brains produce more serotonin, a chemical which acts as a mood stabiliser that helps to relieve depression and reduce stress. A much better solution than crying in a toilet cubicle.
