Boxing

The boxing equipment you need for the sport that has come back into fashion

Boxing has for many years been associated with a rather violent and aggressive sport because of its activity and its image of power with all theboxing gear that goes with it. However, perhaps due to the influence of movies like Rocky, Reel Steal or Million Dollar Baby, boxing has come back into the limelight.

Beyond the interest in having a toned body or having distinctive boxing gear such as a bag or gloves, boxing has also gained popularity for its health benefits. It helps burn fat, increases bone mass and has very good effects on the mental health of all who practice it.

did you know that in one hour of exercise you can burn between 700 and 1,000 calories? That's because the training is very complete, using all kinds of boxing equipment such as jump ropes, bags, mats and dumbbells for bodyweight, among others.

Boxing is a sport that requires a lot of discipline, determination and perseverance; values that have come to be appreciated in both professional and personal life.

Boxing equipment complements fat burning exercises

You may be wondering how boxers manage to burn almost 1,000 calories in an hour's workout. The thing is, before they put on the gloves of boxing equipment and start punching a bag, they need to warm up and strengthen their muscles. That's why the routines start with sprints, jumping rope to coordinate arms and legs, and bodyweight with burpees, sit-ups and push-ups.

Only then, the body is ready to start with combinations of outdoor punching or shadowboxing with exercises on the punching bag. As you can see, with or without the supportof boxing equipment, this is a very complete sport where the whole body is used, not to mention the muscular work you do! The momentum applied to the feet is transferred to the back swing and to the strength of the arm and fist to punch.

Boxing contributes to good mental health with a boost in self-esteem and stress relief

Obviously by getting so much exercise and working so many (if not all) parts of the body, it means mind-blowing stress relief and tension release for the body. You release so many endorphins that the only thing that can happen is that you feel better after exercising. Not to mention that you strengthen your immune system and regulate your appetite.

Being a sport that also has a lot to do with self-defense and strengthens and tones the body very quickly, it helps to increase self-confidence, a sense of security and self-esteem. For that reason alone we should all be boxing!

Apart from getting a more interesting look by using boxing equipment, you also have other health benefits

Some of the boxing gear out there serves to protect the body from the impacts of each punch and to train and prepare for a possible fight. Although it is a sport that may seem violent, its physical activity helps to increase bone mass, which strengthens bones and prevents your body from the loss of bone mass that begins after the age of 40.

In addition to increasing bone mass, it improves coordination and body stability

Boxing also helps you maintain your body stability, as you are constantly working your core muscles to maintain your balance.

Day to day work does not make us pay attention to this, but without realizing it, we end up performing repetitive mobility exercises that are hardening many parts of our body. Boxing is good in that sense because it improves your coordination and if it doesn't, you'd better have good boxing equipment to protect yourself! It also helps your reflexes and links you to healthy eating habits.

For the practice of the sport it is good to have a professional and quality boxing equipment

Boxing training sessions are very complete and use a wide variety of boxing equipment. That's why they also get to work all parts of the body and burn so many calories and encompass so many healthy benefits for the body.
