If you’re looking for a new and more exciting way to get some cardio in, consider trying a boxing class. Seek out a facility that has some knowledgeable instructors when it comes to boxing, kickboxing, or mixed martial arts. Finding such a location that boasts heavy bags is even better.
Not only are these classes a lot of fun, but in an hour long class you can look to burn anywhere from 600-1000 calories depending on how hard you work! While most facilities don’t allow you to bring in pictures of your boss or your boyfriend to tape to the heavy bag, boxing can still be a thrilling way to release the week’s aggression.
If you’re in the Columbus, Ohio area, check out a Title Boxing Club location in Hilliard or near Polaris, or the Sullivan Brothers Boxing Gym in Powell. I highly recommend either of these establishments for a great workout and a good time! Both gyms will allow you to try a free session before buying a package.
If you’re making some changes in your workout program, try one of these workouts and see what you think. You’ve got nothing to lose and may be able to implement something different into your fitness plan long term! As good as boxing can be for weight loss and total body toning, a few of these classes might turn you into a knockout!! (Sorry, it had to be said.)
