It may seem slightly ironic to some that the dangerous sport of boxing is actually one of the best training workouts you can do, nevertheless it is a FACT and one of the main reasons personal trainers use this method when working with their clients. That's because boxing is the fastest, most effective way to burn the maximum amount of calories in the shortest space of time. In effect it works the entire body to the maximum, toning and sculpting all the muscles and provides fantastic weight loss results. It is also a seriously fun way to shed the pounds.
That is what personal trainers do. And they do it very successfully. If you're not sure what a personal trainer is, they are the people you see in the park wearing the hand-pads while that lady throws a few punches at them with her boxing gloves on. And that's one of the advantages of the personal trainer - they come to you, rather than you go to them. So that means you can do your training in your local park, or home, or even at work if there's a discreet space. Basically, hiring a personal trainer takes away all the "fear of the gym" and instead leaves you comfortable in a one-on-one scenario that is far more conducive to following a regular fitness plan successfully.
You'll be using three main moves - hooks, jabs and up-cuts. A hook is a side-on punch, jab is straight on, and an up-cut involves an upwards motion. The thing with boxing is it's all about technique not strength and yet it leads to great weight loss, increased agility and coordination, muscle tone and greater fitness all round. And contrary to what you might think, boxing isn't all about the arms and shoulders; it's a cardio work-out for the whole body. It's about tone rather than muscle and it's the repetition in boxing training that helps develop this. And once again, to emphasize, there is absolutely no body-to-body contact in boxing training. You will not be entering 10 rounds with your personal trainer in a fight to the knock-out; there is no point scoring - except those metaphorical ones that your trainer feels you deserve after each session. If you're unsure how safe boxing training is, just ask your instructor. All personal trainers offering boxing training must have a suitable qualification, such as those at My Home Trainer, the UK-wide company specializing in boxing training up and down the country.
Increased muscle strength also helps you get a better posture and can assist in delaying the onset of osteoporosis. For those who play sport, resistance training is ideal for improving muscle power which is obviously important for footballers or hockey players, golfers and volleyballers. And of course, weight training has always been a key method for those who simply want to look fantastic and have the famous 6-Pack and toned muscles and in essence achieve the "perfect body".
But the most important aspect personal trainers bring is motivation. The very knowledge that you are going to have a mentor to drive you on and encourage you to push yourself (as well as show you your limits) is a very powerful motivator in itself. In a word, personal training sessions work just as effectively - if not more so - than go it alone gym-based workouts and is the reason they are becoming ever-more popular.
