Fitness expert explains the benefits of boxing
Boxing is no longer limited to competitive fighting. The workout has increasingly become popular among people looking for a full-body exercise routine. Dietitian and fitness trainer Garima Goyal explained to The Indian Express that fitness boxing can combine several forms of physical training.“While many associate boxing with combat sports, fitness boxing is increasingly being adopted as a full-body workout that combines strength, endurance, agility, and coordination,” said Garima Goyal.The exercise involves both upper and lower-body movement. Punching engages multiple muscle groups, while footwork keeps the legs active throughout the session.“Throwing punches activates the shoulders, chest, arms, back, and core, while constant footwork challenges the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. The twisting and rotational movements also strengthen the core and improve balance, and enhance coordination.At the same time, the fast-paced nature of boxing provides an excellent cardiovascular workout, improving heart health, stamina, and calorie expenditure,” said the fitness expert.
Boxing can benefit the mind as well
The workout can also require mental concentration. Participants need to remember combinations and coordinate their movements quickly.“Learning punch combinations and maintaining footwork require concentration and quick decision-making, making boxing a workout for both the body and the brain. It can also be an effective stress reliever, as high-intensity punching drills help release endorphins and reduce mental tension.”
Expert stresses proper technique
Boxing can place pressure on the hands, wrists and shoulders. A suitable warm-up and protective equipment can therefore be important for people beginning the activity.“Proper technique, adequate warm-up, protective equipment, and guidance from a qualified trainer are important to minimise the risk of wrist, shoulder, or hand injuries. Boxing is also best complemented with strength training, mobility exercises, balanced nutrition, and sufficient recovery for overall fitness,” said Goyal.
