Boxing is a killer cardio workout as it engages the entire body, involving short bursts of intense effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people mistakenly assume this activity is focused on the upper body and arm strength when it\u2019s actually a full-body exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no secret that boxing can be quite challenging <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and it requires a high level of agility, speed, strength, endurance, and technical skill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does boxing count as cardio? The answer is based on the general outcome of a typical boxing session<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> increased blood flow, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, and a sharper mind &#8211; the same benefits you will obtain from a cardio workout (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/the-many-benefits-of-a-cardio-workout\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boxing combines periods of aerobic, anaerobic, and strength-building.

Although boxing alone may not be enough to effectively increase muscle mass. Resistance training promotes muscle growth, so specific resistance training sessions should also be incorporated into your overall training program (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/healthyliving\/weight-and-muscle-gain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In boxing, the resistance comes from the boxer&#8217;s own body and the striking target (a heavy bag).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, boxing can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-muscle\/\">build muscle<\/a>.
