Boxing for Fitness!
I remember watching the pre imprisoned Mike Tyson annihilate his opponents when I was a teenager. That was my first taste of boxing and after that I fell in love. Then after watching other great fighters like Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, and Manny Pacquiao and others fight for years, I decided to put the gloves on. These guys along with MMA fighters are the most conditioned atheletes around and boxing is an excellent way to shed body-fat and burn away the calories.
Boxing is an anaerobic sport that is is also a mental drain also. The act of throwing punches, round after round, while contending with an attacking opponent is a daunting task. Boxing is perhaps the most physically demanding sport of all. Since it is mostly anaerobic, boxers are stressing their muscles at a high intensity for short periods of time. Below is an example of an beginner boxing workout to help shake up your normal routine.
