7 Reasons to Start Boxing in the New Year

  1. Build Cardio Fitness
    Training in boxing — dynamic warmup, shadow boxing, hitting bags — is done in rounds of two or three minutes with rests of about 1 minute between rounds. This High Intensity Interval Training improves cardiovascular fitness. There’s no shape like boxing shape.
  2. Reduce Body Fat
    Combinations are explosive bursts of power, so boxers develop muscular endurance and power. Muscles have to adapt to full-body training, so the legs, core, and upper body will get stronger. Want to lean out? Dial in nutrition to speed up the process of getting in shape.
  3. Improve Mental Health
    Boxing improves mood and mindset because you have to give complete focus and concentration to training on skills, so you get a break from problems on your mind. Boxing training is also practice at taking action.
  4. Reduce Stress
    Hitting bags is a great way to rid the body of cortisol (the stress hormone). Any exercise, even walking, can reduce stress, but boxing does it faster since hitting bags hard exerts muscles.
  5. Build Confidence
    Building competence in boxing skills leads to improved confidence. Seeing progress, even though it’s sometimes slow, will help keep you motivated as you learn to punch faster and harder, and learn new skills.
  6. Improve Social Life
    Our boxing gym is diverse and full of people who simultaneously support and challenge each other. At Fighters Nashville we welcome everyone. You’ll meet new people, train alongside people similar and different than you, and make new friends as you face challenges together.
