Hi all

OK I am now officially ADDICTED to boxing!.....

Initially I started to facilitate weight loss and improve strength...

I have been thinking about hiring one of the boxing trainers (I go to a local boxing studio 5 mornings per week and do two kickboxing sessions and three boxing sessions) who, in my opinion, works me the hardest during class....

Do you think that hiring him once a week will be beneficial or maybe I should just add a different activity to my workout.... maybe concentrating on handweights/leg press? (we do a lot of work with bars/medicine balls/pushups situps in class but maybe I need to give more time to "real" weights)...

Cheers
Kat

I think its realy up to you, either way i see benefits.

Just on entering the harbour bridge (south side) i always tend to see trainers with their clients, ususally boxing! Sounds like something youd enjoy

Outdoor boxing sounds great too but with all the rain we have been having lately people's routine might get a bit out of wack....

But yes... I LOVE boxing... its a combination of feeling fitter & stronger every week combined with the fact that its such an awsome release of stress/tension.... I have found that as time moves on that i become more and more interested in the technique... the place i go to aint no Fitness First... certainly arn't any chicky babes cycling with mimimul effort with a magazine balancing over the display!!

Anyway better stop there as I could rant on all day about it...

Boxing is phenomenal exercise and I think it's great to implement it as part of your regular training program. I try to keep a variety of things in my program and this is one of them.

It's one of the best workouts that I get. Of course, it is still completely up to the individual to give it 100% to get the most out of it though.

I agree Pat - it really works up a sweat..... I am starting to mix things up now incorporating weights an HIIT but am still doing boxing every weekday morning.....
