Why Boxing Is One of the Best Full-Body Workouts

Boxing is having a moment as a fitness workout, and for good reason. It combines cardio, strength, and coordination into one 45-minute session that flies by.

It burns more than you think

A single class can burn 600 to 800 calories. The mix of heavy-bag rounds and active recovery keeps your heart rate elevated the whole time, which means you keep burning even after you leave the floor.

It builds real strength

Throwing combinations engages your core, shoulders, back, and legs. Add in the strength circuits we run between rounds and you are building functional strength that shows up everywhere in daily life.

It is a skill, so you never get bored

Unlike a treadmill, boxing gives you something to learn every class — footwork, defense, new combinations. Progress keeps you coming back.
