Does boxing help with weight loss?

Any form of movement that connects your mind and body is wonderful for your health. Stay positive and listen to your body's limits. Take care of your eating habits and the weight will naturally find its balance.

I have been thinking of joining a boxing gym near my house but I am a bit scared. Is it very hard for complete beginners? Please let me know if we need a lot of stamina before starting.

I used to feel so self-conscious about my weight and hated traditional gyms. Boxing was the first thing that made me feel strong instead of just 'fat'. It really helps your mental health along with weight loss.

Boxing is an incredible high-intensity cardio workout, so it burns a lot of calories. But remember, weight loss still depends on your diet. Pair boxing sessions with a clean, high-protein diet for the best results.

It definitely works. I used boxing to drop 12 kg post-lockdown. My advice is to focus on your form first rather than punching hard, otherwise you will end up hurting your wrists. Get good hand wraps.

I cannot say if it works for everyone biologically, but personally, I lost about 5 kgs in three months when I took up boxing. It was much more engaging for me than running on a boring treadmill.
