THE BOXING WORKOUT
A boxer is the best-conditioned athlete in any sport. Boxing provides the most rounded workout, a combination that improves cardiovascular fitness, strength, speed, and agility. It also provides mental stimulation and a phenomenal release of stress missing from all other sports. Your kid will learn how to overcome fatigue as he experiences exhilaration and toughness. Because boxing involves so many muscle groups, it also tends to produce fewer repetitive strain injuries than do workouts that focus on a single motion, such as cycling or jogging.
Your kid, will gain self-confidence and will not be bullied by others.
