Health Tip #14 – Boxing Workouts Are Awesome

Boxing may look like a workout for your arms and upper body but it can actually be a great workout for your abs as well. All the twisting and rotating of your torso is using your abdominal muscles.

Plus, boxing is an awesome cardio workout that lets you take out all your pent up frustrations and energy on a punching bag while getting the high calorie burn of a good cardio workout. At the same time, your abdominal area is getting a strength workout of a lifetime!

Basically, aerobic boxing is targeting belly fat in 3 key ways. First, it’s burning calories with cardio. Secondly, it’s building ab muscles with strength training. Finally, it’s allowing you to take out your stress and frustration.

Stress is another cause of fat gain. Stress particularly adds fat to your belly. This is because of the hormonal processes that stress triggers in your body. By doing a workout like boxing that offers stress reduction and emotional release, you’ll lower your stress. Lowering your stress will lower the hormonal processes that lead to belly fat.

Taken altogether, you’ll stop packing on stress weight at the same time that you are maximizing the efficiency with which you burn the fat you already have. And you’re doing all of that with the power of your fists!
