I’m about to head on down for a boxing workout cause my usual training partner is out of action today.
I’ve decided to go and pound the bag instead.
I don’t get to do this as much as I’d normally like cause it’s so much fun and really, one of the best weight loss workouts out there.
So here’s my 3 reasons why this is a great workout!
1) You Get To Work Out Any Frustrations
I lost my iPod yesterday (with the tunes for our wedding on there) so that’s as a reason as any! No seriously, I’m over that now but really if you’ve had a bad day or an arguement with someone this is a great way.
2) Your Heart Rate Goes Through The Roof
Boxing is without a doubt one of the best interval training routines possible that sends your heart rate sky high each and every time.
You go to town for a round or a track length of a song and then have a short rest – the perfect interval training protocol
3) It Works Every Muscle In Your Body
I know that when I box – my lats (back muscles) are absolutely killing me the next day and that’s just the start.
Your abs hurt, your chest hurts, you can barely lift your arms above your head (lucky I don’t have much hair!) and your legs get a workout too if you are punching with correct technique – it should be a whole body movement unlike the people you see just throwing handbags and using only their arms.
Okay, the clocks ticking, I’m outta here and it’s time to get the gloves on!

Sounds like a great workout, although I’m sure it is a lot of hard work. We have a bag out the back and rarely use it, perhaps I need to get on the boxing gloves and get out there and give it a go.
It ain’t easy Sheryl but worth the effort to dig out your old bag. It’ll be the best stress release workout you ever get. Get to it!
I’ll admit then I have never done real boxing. I have played boxing on the Wii though and, wow, does that get your heart going, I find. My body heats up real fast and I sweat and it is actually quite fun.
give real boxing a go – it’ll leave the Wii for dead!
