Learn to box

Learn to box step by step and from home. Discover all the benefits of this complete sport.

Why is it beneficial for health?
Boxing is not only a sport of strength, but of speed, coordination, endurance and agility
mental. These are all its benefits:
Helps you release stress.
As it is a physical exercise, you release endorphins that help you be happier and improve your self-esteem.
It reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps improve the respiratory system.
It burns around 750 calories per session, so if you're trying to lose weight, this is a really fun way to do it.
Define your silhouette. Your muscles tone, strengthen and become more flexible. This helps the back pain that is typical of sitting at the computer for long hours to disappear.
You improve balance and reflexes.

Boxing routine
Follow these steps to complete a full boxing routine that is about an hour in length.
It begins with a warm-up jumping rope (or rope). Although it may not seem like it, it is an exercise that burns a lot of calories; and in a few minutes you'll be ready to box.
We continue with a couple of shadow rounds. Look in a mirror all your movements and perfect them. Make sure that you turn that foot well or that your head is always well covered. Accompany them with some small weights to strengthen the muscles.
Warm up the joints well. The wrists, shoulders and elbows suffer the most
Put the bandages on, making sure that your wrists grip well, but without cutting off circulation. In addition, gloves, gauntlets, mouthpiece, shell and helmet are essential parts of boxing equipment.
To work at home alone or with a partner, you can get a jacket, cloths, pear, shields and mittens.
Perform hitting and dodging work; and when you feel a little more comfortable, start sparring.
Once the training is finished, do some stretching exercises along with push-ups, abdominals and lumbar to strengthen the belly and arms area since they are the ones that suffer the most.

Remember to practice boxing with sportsmanship and without violence.
If you want to practice a martial art to learn to defend yourself, boxing is an option, but there are better ones such as self defense, krav maga, or even Brazilian jiu jitsu.

What is the difference between the different martial arts:
Boxing: only hands are allowed
Kick boxing: hands and feet allowed
Muay Thai: Hands, feet, elbows and knees are allowed.

If you have not already encouraged, this is your moment. And remember, boxing has no gender or age limit. It requires a very small investment and you can practice it wherever you want. What are you waiting for?
