How to box against anything, the advantage of boxing against stress

Beat that stress

Good to know: stress can have consequences for your health. A little stress every now and then is okay, but prolonged stress can cause insomnia, weakened immune system, difficulty concentrating, or even anxiety and panic attacks. You don't want that! Boxing can help you release all your negative feelings and stress. Plus, boxing has even more benefits that will help you have a kick-ass week.

How to get through the week

For a busy week, you need fitness, and boxing is excellent for building it! You're constantly moving, your heart rate goes up, your whole body engages, and you frequently switch between intense activity and active rest. This variation in heart rate helps you build a fitness level that will serve you well throughout the week as you rush from appointment to appointment. Boxing can improve your self-confidence, discipline, and perseverance.

An afterburn effect

When we're stressed, we quickly reach for quick and easy snacks. But those cookies and bars aren't exactly healthy for you. They're often loaded with sugar, sending you into a sugar crash and making you crave more sugar. Nutrition is another story, but luckily, after a boxing session, you enjoy an afterburn effect. This means you'll burn a lot of calories even after your workout. Speaking of which, a half-hour of boxing burns the same amount as a full hour of walking. Time efficiency!

Even at zero and then back to a hundred

Stress, difficulties, and frustrations—you're working overtime all week. A good punch or kick can bring you back to zero. All you need is a punching bag and boxing gloves.
