A Beginner's Guide to Boxing Fitness: What You Need to Know
our ROUNDS Boxing fitness classes at Hustle Norwich are a high-intensity workout that not only improves your cardiovascular health but also helps build strength, endurance, and coordination. If you are new to boxing, you might be intimidated by the thought of entering the ring and facing an opponent. However, you can still reap the benefits of boxing without ever having to step foot in the ring. All you need is the right equipment and a little bit of knowledge to get started.
Here's what you need to know to get started with a class at HUSTLE.
Equipment:
Boxing Gloves: These are the most important piece of equipment for boxing. Boxing gloves protect your hands and allow you to hit the heavy bag or focus mitts without causing injury. Look for gloves that fit well and provide enough padding for your hands.
Hand Wraps: Hand wraps provide additional support for your hands and wrists and help to prevent injury.
If you need gloves and wraps you can pick them up from our shop (www.doyouhustle.co.uk) and pick up before your first class.
Technique:
Footwork: Good footwork is crucial in boxing. It allows you to maintain balance and move around the ring effectively. Practice shuffling, side stepping, and pivoting to improve your footwork.
Punches: There are four main punches in boxing: the jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. Start with the jab and cross, then add in the hook and uppercut as you get more comfortable.
Defense: Defense is just as important as offense in boxing. Practice slipping, bobbing, and weaving to avoid your opponent's punches.
Incorporating boxing into your routine can provide a fun and challenging workout. With the right equipment and a little bit of knowledge, you'll be on your way to a fitter and healthier you. For those in the Norwich area, try out at Hustle class and see the benefits for yourself!
