It is a well-known fact that boxers are some of the fittest athletes around. Boxing training will work every muscle in the body and will help you to tone up and lose fat. Most boxing gyms will welcome people who want to get better. I'm at my local boxing club and there is a good mix of men and women. Many gyms will welcome people who are not able to compete in the gym.Feel free to visit Boxing classes for additional information.
You will need some comfortable trainers and some coaches will want you to wear boxing hand wraps which can be bought at some sports shops. Hand wraps are a cotton bandage that is worn around the wrist to protect you from injury. A trainer will show you how to wrap your hands.You may want to purchase your own gloves as well as other unhygienic.
You may want to buy a boxing box if you are serious about boxing but you will not be sparring. Training sessions at a boxing gym will usually be successful. You will learn footwork and correct stance and usually will be shown as your first punch.
Most boxing sessions will be split into rounds of 2-3 minutes with 1 minute rest and you will usually have a combination of the following exercises.
Bag Work
Punching the bags will develop the muscles in the shoulders and is surprisingly hard on the legs and abdominals.
Shadowboxing
This is an imaginary box for your opponents and your punches. You will be throwing punches at the air. It is a deceptively challenging exercise.
Pad work or partner work
This is your coach or a partner. They will call out a punch and you will perform the action. Pad work is fun and challenging.
Skipping
Skipping is a great exercise and can take a bit of time to master. It will build fitness and coordination. You should be on the balls of your feet and you need to get your feet right. There are many challenging ways to cross the rope, passing the rope.
Circuit
You will usually perform a circuit of bodyweight exercises such as pushups, situps, squats, burpees, dorsal raises and tuck jumps just as an example.
