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.
