The post Benefits of Boxing Workouts appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Boxing is a great form of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which has been proven to boost cardiovascular health. This form of training is also shown to reduce your risk of heart disease. An added benefit is that you will gain endurance and be able to sustain high intensity exercises for longer amounts of time.
One of the greatest benefits of boxing is it works your entire body—your arms, shoulders, legs, abs, back—pretty much every muscle you can think of. Boxing builds strength and stability and sharpens your reflexes over time. If you’re looking to tone your entire body, boxing is a great choice.
Any form of exercise is proven to boost mental health, but boxing in particular has a great effect on the mind. It is a great stress reliever and the boost in your heart rate will leave you with a smile on your face (even as you’re panting to catch your breath!).

]]>It’s only logical that toning your body and achieving all your fitness goals is great for improving self-confidence. Also, improving your skills, exercising with other people, and being part of a certain group are also some of the reasons why exercise can greatly transform your self-image.
The boost of endorphins and confidence is also likely to make you a friendlier person. Exercising is great for reducing stress and anxiety, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that engaging in regular physical activity can help strengthen our relationship with other people.
One of the best and probably most significant benefits of exercise is that it can actually improve our cognitive abilities. Studies have shown that regular exercise stimulates our brain cells and can help improve our memory and focus.

]]>When we wake up, our cortisol levels are highest, and cortisol plays a key role in our bodies’ metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. Some studies have shown that working out in the morning can keep our metabolism working more effectively all day long.
Exercise has been proven to reduce stress and increase productivity. Increased blood flow to the brain can help us to feel more calm and focused than we otherwise would, as oxygen is delivered to all of our bodies’ tissues. Increased alertness can be a great asset as we continue our days with school or work.
Another benefit of exercise we can experience any time of day is increased endorphins. Endorphins play a key role in stabilizing our mood and can help with feelings of happiness and wellbeing. What better way to start off the day than with a little endorphin boost?

]]>The best way to get your lymphatic system moving is to get moving in general! Jumps can be practiced on the floor through activities like jumping rope or jumping jacks, or on a trampoline for a more fun approach. The up and down movement will open up lymphatic channels, which in turn increases circulation to remove waste.
Whether you’re working at a desk or on your feet all day, most of us spend the majority of our time in an upright position. Spending a lot of time in the same postures can cause our lymphatic system to become sluggish, so we turn to inversions for help. Play around with headstands, shoulder stands, or even legs up the wall. Gravity is your friend as it moves lymphatic fluid from the feet toward the nodes of the upper body.
Similar to jumping, dancing has the effect of stimulating muscle contraction but gives you a bit more creative license. Grab your friends and turn up the music, or look for a dance party workout video on Youtube. The most important thing is to move in a way that’s fun for you!

]]>If you’ve ever done a plank, you know how tempting it can be to give up when the going gets tough. But exercise teaches you to push through even when something is uncomfortable, increasing your tolerance for challenges and discomfort.
When you exercise, your body is desperate to recover afterward, and it helps you sleep like a baby, which in turn gives you more energy and makes you feel better the following day.
Whether it’s because you’ve hit a new PR, gone down (or up!) a pants size, figured out a new yoga pose you could never do before, or something else, exercise can make you feel better about yourself and give you a sense of pride in yourself that really puts a spring in your step.
