BOXING WORKOUT AS A FITNESS ROUTINE

One of the most exciting benefits of a boxing workout is stress release. We deal with conflict and challenging decisions every day. Exercising is one of the best ways to release pent up stress and frustration.  

Sadly, exercising effectively takes more than just jumping on a treadmill and hoping for the best. If you want to get the most out of your body then you need to work it the right way through a variety of different forms of exercise to keep your heart rate at the right level.

Luckily, boxing workout represents both anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise is any short, intense exercise and uses up oxygen fast. This means lactic acid is produced and your body will not be able to sustain its energy levels for long. This type of exercise increases your endurance, muscle mass, metabolism and your ability to withstand fatigue. Aerobic exercise is low energy exercise that can be done for extended periods of time such as yoga, swimming and running. Because aerobic exercise is relatively gentle, your body is able maintain a reasonable amount of oxygen which is then carried to your muscles to use as fuel; giving them the energy they need to sustain the effort of whatever exercise it is you're doing.


Boxing workout can also be a great fitness activity for families that want to perform cardiovascular exercises but are beginning to get bored with more traditional aerobic activities such as running, cycling, and aerobic classes. For families that meet these criteria, boxing workout just may be the aerobic activity your family has been looking for. Families that wish to begin a boxing workout routine must be flexible, have a good base level of strength, and be agile.

Another important benefit you can gain from boxing workout is learning the mechanisms of self-defense. Knowing that you can protect yourself and your family will also make you more confident. You never know just when a situation will arise and you will need to actually use the skills you’ve learned in boxing to protect yourself or an innocent person.  Boxing workouts provide you with great fighting form that you can use both for family fitness and in life threats.

Boxing: The Family Sport

The misconception that people have against boxing is that it is an intense contact sport. This scares family members in getting into boxing as a family activity. The truth is that boxing is one of the safest sports for all ages with the right equipment and training. Here are some reasons as to why boxing is good for all the members of your family.

·       Cardiovascular fitness. Interval training is the first few steps made before the actual fight. Boxers usually have a three-minute round with one-minute recoveries; the start to stop form of exercise or warm up is made to keep your body running and increases blood flow that is best in developing cardiovascular fitness. Family fitness starts by reducing cardiovascular diseases, which is the number one pathologic killer in this generation.

·       Reduces stress. Stressors are all over the place. Young or old, people encounter stress in every move they take. Best way to release anger and anxiety is by having a productive outlet. More often than not, families fight due to simple problems or by simply having a bad day. Intense exercises like boxing promote the release of feel-good hormones - “endorphins” - that leave you feeling happy and relieved.

·      Increases bone density. Bone mass density usually deteriorates after your 30s; when left unhealthy, activities will be a burden. Weight-bearing exercises are not recommended because of the risks of osteoporosis, which is associated with bones that fracture easily. Boxing on the other hand do not require any weight lifting and loads all of the major bones that prevent bone loss.

·        Weight management. You know that the family fitness you are in is effective when your family stays active, motivated, and has a controlled weight. A person who enjoys a 30-minute boxing session on a punching bag burns approximately 175 calories, which is the same as running more than 3 laps. Combined with a calorie controlled diet, boxing training can help you maintain you target weight.

So what are you waiting for? Get ready with that family fitness belt and ensure the involvement of your family members to establish rapport with the help of boxing.

Simple Yet Fun Family Fitness Ideas

index

Lifestyle diseases plague our country and the only way to combat it is through regular exercise. And isn’t it more fun if we exercise with our family members? Family exercise is a great way to improve our health and that of our loved ones. Family fitness, when done together, makes exercise more fun.At the same time, it also develops stronger connections among family members.

It doesn’t take much to create a family fitness program for you and your family. All you need is a little creativity and you can start doing a family fitness routine.

Here are some simple, yet fun ideas that you can try:

1. Make use of play time. You need not create a rigid schedule for your family fitness routine. Instead, you can make use of your kids’ play time as a part of your after-school or after-dinner routine. Play hopscotch or hide-and-seek. Kick a soccer ball around the yard. Planning at least one family activity every weekend also helps. Schedule a trip to the playground or a hike to a nearby park. Offer a variety of family activities that will keep kids away from their gadgets.

2. Ride the bike or walk together whenever possible. Children love riding bikes! Use the bike to go to the grocery store, library, or to your child's school or sports events. Start walking together, too. Go for an after-dinner family walk instead of heading right in front of the television. Track everyone’s progress by using a log full of colorful stickers. Put your log or chart on the refrigerator so that everyone can see it.

3. Sing and dance while you clean the house. Who said cleaning the house can’t be fun? With the right songs, everyone can enjoy doing various household chores. Once a week, set aside a time for household chores and make sure you do them together as a family. Play music as you pick up toys, sweep floors, dust, vacuum, and make beds clean. Let the kids take turns in choosing the songs for the week to keep them motivated.

4. Make yard work less of a chore and more of a family exercise. Make the most out of seasonal yard work by working together. Is the snow falling? Shovel snow together and make it more fun by creating snowmen. Are the leaves falling from the trees? Rake them, make a pile, and then jump in it.

5. Attend gym classes together. Fitness clubs now offer group classes that cater to different age groups. This makes it possible for every member of the family to engage in physical activities like boxing and kickboxing side-by-side. Aside from family fitness, attending self-defense classes as a family also has other benefits. For one, parents may educate their kids about the concept of bullying and aggression. Kids, on the other hand, get to release pent up energy on the ring or gym instead of releasing it in school.

When it comes to family fitness, you are only limited by your creativity. Explore as many physical activities as possible for the benefit of your family’s health.
