ALL ABOUT BOXING

Modern day sport boxing involves two athletes punching each other with padded gloves, trying to knock their opponent down and out.

Boxing workouts usually include punching bags and mitts, jumping rope, sprints, strength training and other common exercises performed by boxers.

These high intensity types of exercise in boxing makes it a great form of aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercises involve large groups of muscle, stresses the cardiovascular system and increases a person's rate of breathing.

Again - try punching something as hard as you can for three consecutive minutes and you'll see how fast your heart will be beating and how hard you will be breathing!
