Why Every Colliegette Should Try Boxing

Clarity of Mind

Boxing takes a lot of focus, your entire thought process concentrates on every punch, keeping your balance, and accuracy of movement. You will leave wondering why you came in the first place.

Toned Body From Head to Toe

Talk about intensity! Cardio and whole body strength are the key to each workout. Every move is a calorie burned. Using your shoulders, arms, core, back, hips and legs- pretty much sums the whole body. Not only does it helps create lean muscle, it also helps burn unnecessary fats.

Punch Away the Stress

After only 5 minutes of a class you start to notice how tension is relieved from your body. You feel lighter, and more relaxed. Since it does require so much focus, your mind starts to release tension as well as your body, considering your only focus is your next punch.

Self-Defense

It never hurt anyone to know the basics to self-defense. Not saying you will have to put them into practice, but a few moves can keep you out of harm.

So if you ever have the need to punch something, now you can and even get a workout out of it! These are all great reasons to try out a boxing class. We can all stand to burn some stress before an exam or big project.

Not only is it on campus, but it’s free. The University of Utah has great boxing coaches that can help you release the fighter in you. Remember: strong and beautiful is your go to motto!
