• Why lose weight with boxing? We have all gone
  through a period when we decided it was time to
  shed some weight, get fit, and maybe even shape
  those muscles.
• But, something always prevents us from pursuing
  that goal.
• The reasons-and excuses- are plenty, but some of
  them resonate more than others.

• There are two pillars to getting fit exercise
  and diet. Though that seems simple, when we get
  to it, it turns out it can be complicated,
  intense, and most importantly, boring to a fault!
  Going to the gym to lift weights and do cross
  fits every day can become a drag, and eventually,
  we might lose motivation altogether.
• When embarking on a weight loss journey, it is
  crucial to be consistent. Therefore, we must
  choose an intense sport to lose calories but easy
  enough for beginners to learn. Also, it should be
  a fun sport because there is always something new
  to learn.

• This is where boxing comes in. Boxing is becoming
  an increasingly popular sport because you get fit
  and strong while losing weight and having fun.
• But an even more critical factor comes into play
  you will read it at the end of this article.
• Here we present why boxing is an effective method
  to lose weight and transform your fitness
  journey.

Five reasons to lose weight with boxing

• 1-   Boxing is a contact self-defence sport
• The purpose of boxing is not to lose weight but
  to be effective in defending yourself and
  submitting your opponent with knock-outs. The
  pros practise in the elite championships. A
  pro-fighter has to go through intensive drills,
  exercises, and training. But you dont have to
  fight like pros you will benefit from the
  combination of activities that makes boxing an
  effective sport for weight loss.

• Cardio
• Boxing is a full-body workout there are boxing
  drills and the old-fashioned cardio training.  A
  typical boxing workout can raise your heartbeat,
  and if used with an optimised diet, you will see
  results in a matter of weeks. For example, with a
  20 minutes morning routine on the heavy punching
  bag, you could lose 1000 calories. In addition to
  the boxing workout itself, you might be doing
  rope skipping or running to maximise the cardio
  training. So boxing training in the gym is
  perfect cardio, and you can optimise the benefits
  with the right food.

• Strength conditioning exercises
• Strength training makes your body movement much
  more accessible and makes your body healthier in
  the long run. While you are losing weight, you
  need to tone up and strengthen your muscles
  simultaneously. As the name suggests, strength
  conditioning exercises increase your muscles
  strength, resilience, and overall muscle mass. In
  boxing training, this could include equipment but
  mainly your body weight. You will work on
  different muscles on different days of the week,
  including your arms, legs, chest and back
  muscles. The exercises include squads, deadlift,
  push-ups, reverse lunge, dumbbell chopper, etc.

• Again, no worries, you will not be doing strength
  training every day for the rest of your life to
  get results. However, training twice a week for
  strength can increase your muscle mass in the
  long run. You will always start as a beginner and
  ease your way up. In addition, boxing training is
  excellent strength training when you move your
  body quickly and gather momentum to give those
  punches, your body gains strength. As in boxing,
  the focus is on speed, and dead weights are not
  used too much to gain muscle mass. Boxing
  training will help you gain muscle mass in a lean
  way.

 Boxing techniques

• Boxing exercises include sparring, heavy and
  double-ended bags, and speed bags. Those drills
  sharpen your boxing skills, but most importantly,
  they are fun. You feel alive, punching the stress
  away.

• 2-   Boxing for beginners
• Unlike other types of martial arts, boxing is a
  sport in which you will notice progress
  reasonably quickly. There are no complex
  technicalities, no high-level stretching required
  to perfect kicks, no beating concrete with your
  fist to hone punches. Boxing is not too easy, but
  the learning curve is relatively fast and
  straightforward. You will enjoy the practice
  tremendously while working on improving.
