Boxing and Pilates are complimentary.
Fluidform teaches slow, steady control whereas boxing runs on fast paced movements. Any imbalances brought on by boxing’s explosive, repetitive motions can be balanced with Fluidform by focusing on your postural alignment and correction.
Practicing Fluidform will build strength and stability across your shoulders and deep within your core. Boxing movements are generated through rotation of the midline, making strength in this area vital to performance and injury prevention.
Benefits of Boxing
Every client’s boxing journey is truly unique. From why they choose to be there through to the goals they have set and the lessons they learn in the process. The key benefits of integrating boxing into your workout routine are:
- An increase in mental and physical resilience.
- Physical attributes namely your body composition, muscle development and tone.
- Develop a sense of self belief and empowerment.
Every body and mind is unique and our final goal and timelines will vary. The key is to understand boxing as a process and find enjoyment in this process rather than becoming fixated on the end results.
Overall, boxing is a form of cardio that drives your heart rate, helping to burn energy and calories, improve your heart health, boost energy levels and tone your body.
Boxing for Beginners
If you are new to boxing, I want you to surrender to the process of learning. Finding something challenging is not a sign of incompetence but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. Ask questions along the way and find a pace to your progress that is comfortable to your physical and mental state. It is important to trust your teacher, to guide you through the process and take on the information provided.
