Four Great Lifestyle Benefits of Fitness Boxing

Oyinda Adeoti
February 3, 2022

Boxing isn’t just a sport anymore. It’s also a popular way to stay fit among older adults, through a version known as fitness boxing. There’s no getting into a ring or taking any punches, so there’s no risk of head trauma. Instead, fitness boxing has adapted the movements of the sport into exercise routines. Boxing for fitness still provides boxing’s inherent benefits. Keep reading to discover some amazing benefits of fitness boxing.

Benefits of Fitness Boxing – Lowers blood pressure

Boxing and HIIT training, in general, have been shown to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, helping decrease stress on the blood vessels.

Elevated blood pressure is a precursor to experiencing more serious events like heart attacks and strokes.

It can improve your coordination

Boxing is a great way to work on your hand-eye coordination, especially if the class involves hitting a target. This can have real-life implications like helping you feel more alert or making it easier to do everyday tasks like navigating around your busy kitchen, according to Harvard Health Publishing.

Benefits of Fitness Boxing – You’ll Burn Serious Calories

All of those heart-pumping jabs and uppercuts torch calories. How many you burn during a typical class depends on several individual factors, but women can expect to burn about 400 calories in an hour and men about 500. Duquette says professional boxers can burn upwards of 800 calories during an hour of training. And in case you’re wondering: Yes, boxing can lead to weight loss if that’s your goal, so long as you’re creating a calorie deficit at the end of the day.

Boosts whole-body strength

While most people may think punching power only comes from the shoulder, the act of throwing a punch involves the entire body.

A good punch involves the lower limbs pushing against the ground and the coordination of the rest of the body to deliver power through the strike. Therefore, the lower limbs, as well as the core muscles, are a significant part of the punching movement.

We have recently partnered with EliteBox, a boutique boxing company in Lagos, Nigeria. When you register with EliteBox, you can take as many classes as you want, and enjoy the many benefits of fitness boxing. The DRO Health App is available on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).
