Know the benefits of boxing

Strengthen your heart, tone your muscles and relax you with each stroke

Boxing is more than just punching your fists. It strengthens you on the outside and inside, while allowing you to relax the tensions of day to day. It is an essential sport in the Bootcamp by PFG of our life coach Patricia Fitnessgurú, who combines this aerobic exercise with other anaerobic to achieve a comprehensive workout session.

Aerobic exercise would be boxing: low to medium intensity, it can be done over long periods of time. Anaerobic exercises, meanwhile, are of high intensity in short duration. These are the drills , squats, burpees , crunches and other combinations with which PFG seeks to help your body reach its highest potential.
