Boxing is a great overall workout which burns calories, increases cardiovascular fitness and helps build lean muscle. Boxing is one of the few activities which uses every muscle in the body and has proven benefits in aiding women’s fitness and weight loss. Boxing is fun and can be an interesting variation on the usual gym based workouts and it can provide a great outlet for stress and aggression.
Boxing for women can help improve self-confidence. By teaching self-defence, boxing classes can help women feel empowered and stronger and this can have a positive effect on self-esteem. Many women feel intimidated at the thought of going into a general boxing class and feel more comfortable training in a supportive, women only environment.
