Boxing…It’s the go-to workout for models, actors, busy moms, millennials and more. Boxing as a workout has become popular because it provides the best full body, fat burning workout and challenges you both mentally and physically. With benefits like muscle toning, torching calories, and relieving stress, it may seem like a workout fit for adults, but Boxing is actually an extremely effective workout for kids as well. Here's 4 reasons why you should consider CORE UFC Boxing for your children.
1. STRESS RELIEF
Adults aren’t the only ones with stress, kids suffer from stress too! Whether it’s bullying, keeping up in school, or sports performance, kids are faced with stress daily. CORE Kids Boxing provides a positive outlet where stress can be relieved. Hitting a punching bag produces a response in your body that helps to relieve tension.
2. POWER & COORDINATION
Boxing is a workout that requires not only your whole body to be present, but your mind as well. Correctly thrown punches use your legs, hips, glutes, core, oblique’s, back, shoulders, chest and arms. Using all of these muscle groups at the same time requires a good connection between your brain and your body, an essential learning for children in any sport or activity. The mind-body connection learned through Boxing can transfer over to other sports and activities your child participates in.
3. BUILD A STRONGER BODY
Children need resistance training in order to build stronger bones. The good news is, children will be exposed to resistance training in CORE Kids Boxing class! Using punching bags provides resistance along with own bodyweight when performing a sit-up or pushup.
4. IMPROVED CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM
Mastering the techniques involved in boxing can be a difficult task, but once achieved it often makes kids feel pretty good and proud of themselves! Technique is a main component that CORE UFC GYM Coaches focus on in their Youth Boxing classes. As a child’s Boxing technique improves, the more power they can put into their punch. Nothing boosts your confidence more than the noise you hear when you land a strong punch on a Boxing bag!
