Women's Boxing Workout - My Why
I'm often asked what makes me so passionate about boxing in my mid-40s.
It's really simple. When I hit 40 years of age, I knew I had to start some kind of exercise, not only for cardiovascular health but also for balance and stamina. I needed to build strength. I was getting older, but I was determined not to get weaker.
So I started with gym cardio machines, and found that although they are great for your heart and weight loss, they are about as entertaining as a trip to the dentist! I was not "following the yellow brick road," and I found going to the gym a chore. I wanted more.
Then, a dear friend invited me to a kickboxing class. I went, and it was the hardest workout of my life. I fell in love with kickboxing and signed a club membership on the spot. At that time, the trainers were amazing. They pushed their clients until they were shaking by the end of the workout. I followed the yellow brick road to kickboxing.
After I got the cardio down and really learned how to work parts of my body, I became very intrigued with boxing. The techniques are amazing, and you can get a powerful workout without kicks. Plus, boxing requires incredible mental concentration so it's impossible to get bored!

Women's Boxing Workout and Getting Hit
Women's Boxing Workout and Getting Hit
Many women ask me if they will get hit in a boxing workout. Absolutely not. My boxing workout is to get you fit, build your confidence and have fun. In the workout you will learn the correct way to punch a bag so you can burn fat and build muscle.
And don't forget the mental side of boxing. It builds confidence and makes your body stronger and your mind stronger. Many people have told me how much more confident they are since learning how to box. It makes you less fearful and willing to try new things.

How a Boxing Workout Changed My Life
How a Boxing Workout Changed My Life
In this stressful world wouldn't it be nice to have a healthy fun outlet that's good for both body and soul? Something that can improve you physically and help lift you mentally and emotionally. I found all that in a boxing workout!
Since 2013 I've transformed my body and mind in ways I could only dream of.
Boxing workouts have given me muscle tone that I never thought possibile. My arms, shoulders and back have the definition of an athlete. The exercises that take place in a boxing workout have given me strong legs, a flat stomach.. and bye bye muffin top.
I have more stamina now than I did when I was 20. And forget a 3 minute drill - I can easily do 30. Boxing has also improved my flexibility and balance, and as we get older these two components are so important.
With the increase in strength and the confidence of a healthy body I mentally feel stronger then ever. I feel it's given me independence and assurance that I have the ability to protect myself. Emotionally I'm able to get my frustrations, stress and worries out on the bag. Hitting the bag is exhilarating, and especially with my left hook.

Why Boxers Jump Rope
Why Boxers Jump Rope
Jumping rope is the iconic image of a boxer in training.
But even if you're not a boxer jumping rope is a superb workout.
Why did one of the greatest heavyweight champions of the world, who had the best jab I have ever seen, master the art of jumping rope? Because it builds stamina and raises cardiovascular endurance. It prepares the heart for the demands of the sport.
A round of boxing, punching and avoiding punches for 3 minutes, is incredibly exhausting both mentally and physically.
Try jumping rope for 3 minutes. Chances are you'll be seriously winded.
Jumping rope also improves the way you move. It helps build speed and fast foot work. The way a boxer moves their feet sets them up for a punch that will get their opponent's attention.
When I first started boxing I was surprised to learn there are 10 different ways to jump rope. I will explain these in later posts, but it really got my attention and I had a great workout trying different jumping techniques!
So why do boxers jump rope? It improves stamina, coordination, rhythm, footwork and cardio endurance.
The bottom line is it's good for all of us, and as a bonus we can take a rope anywhere. Which means we can get an amazing workout anywhere. So now we have absolutely no excuse!

Boxing and Milk Don't Mix
Boxing and Milk Don't Mix
Ok ladies, you're starting to box your way into the best shape of your life. I'm so proud of you.
We all know that a good boxing workout is the way to a strong healthy body - but I don't want to ignore correct nutrition. So every once in a while I'm going to give you healthy tips you can use in conjunction with your boxing. So here's the first..
Dairy, Dairy, Dairy - Not
People ask me about weight loss every day - and particularly loosing weight around the middle. The first thing I check is how much dairy they eat. My test showed if you want quick results around the middle give up dairy.
Yes ladies, that includes milk, cheese and butter.
For me, with boxing and eating the right foods, I burnt my muffin top in just over a month. It's my opinion we have no business digesting another animals milk. We all know calves become big fat cows, and what do they drink? Yup, Milk.
Plus, Milk is full of hormones - yet another reason to avoid it.
Test it out for two weeks - you'll be amazed. Add an abundance of leafy veggies like kale and spinach to give you the calcium you need. Replace milk with almond, cocunut, soy or my favorite cashew.
I've been dairy free for 7 years. I feel leaner, clearer and more focused.

Punching Your Way to Perfect Abs
Punching Your Way to Perfect Abs
Ok ladies, March is creeping up on us and it's only 3 months until we kick off summer. Who does not want great abs in their swimsuit? I know I do.
Well, the solution is boxing. It's a fun and motivating way to increase ab strength and set you up for abs you will love. Boxing also has the cardio capability to burn fat so you can build the muscle that looks so amazing in summer cloths.
Why is boxing such a popular ab workout? In order to get the most strength and speed in your punch you need to use your abs. The better shape your abs are in the more impressive your punch will be. So wether your jabbing, uppercutting or giving a good strong hook, you need to twist. That burns fast fast and produces great toned abs.
A good boxing ab workout that I like to use is to punch in reps. You can start at 10 but then increase it as you feel stronger. I also like to use a timer and do drills by the minute. One of my trainers has me jab slow for 30 seconds then at a fast strong speed for 30 seconds. Depending on your fitness level you can do these drills anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes.
You can even do longer if you dare.. just make sure you feel the burn, not only in your arms but also in your future 6 pack!

Why I Shadow Box
Why I Shadow Box
When I started boxing training I began my lesson hitting the air. I felt silly, and I had no idea why I was doing it, but I did what I was told. What did I know. Quickly I learned this was shadow boxing and it's a great warmup before a boxing workout, not to mention it's a smart way to observe and improve your techniques.
Shadow boxing has many benefits and it's so simple you can do it anywhere. There are no drills, no bags to hit and no opponents to avoid. It's you against the air. It's a great way to improve your balance and get into good habits with your technique.
Here's my tips about shadow boxing..
Add movement with your punch. We all know what happens if you stand still in a boxing match. You get hit.
Have a great imagination. Pretend a person you not partially fond of is standing in front of you.
As you get more advanced grab a weight, it will help with strength and speed. Remember ladies the strapless dress.
If you're not sure the correct way to punch just pull up a YouTube video of boxing technique.
Using a mirror will enhance this type of boxing because we can see ourselves.
So ladies, after a stressful day and when you can't bare to go to the gym, move around and hit the air. For more endurance add a weight. You don't have to have weights at home - I have a friend who uses cans of diced tomatoes. Be creative and have an imagination. Shadow box. Hitting air is a great workout!!!!

I was not following the yellow brick road, and going to the gym became a chore. I wanted more. Then a dear friend invited me to a kickboxing class. I went and it was the hardest workout of my life.
I fell in love with kickboxing and signed a club membership on the spot.
At that time the trainers were amazing, they pushed you and you were shaking by the end of the workout. I followed the yellow brick road to kickboxing. After I got the cardio down and really learned how to work parts of my body I became very intrigued with boxing. The techniques are amazing and you can get a powerful workout without the kicks.

My Fabulous Boxing Weekend
My Fabulous Boxing Weekend
This weekend was boxing fabulous! On Saturday I went to the Lexington Avenue Gym in Mt Kisco where the owner Nina set me up with a trainer named John who trained me on pure technique.
I like kickboxing, but technical boxing is my real passion. John went over the punches like jab, cross hooks and uppercuts and gave me some great tips to get the most out of my punch. It was great.
Next we went into the ring to go over defense moves. I learned how to move my upper body and go underneath a punch to set myself up to hit next. The end of our session was an exercise to strengthen my arms, particularly the shoulders. Let's face it, boxing needs strong arms and shoulders.
Speaking of shoulders.. great shoulders rock. Not to mention they look neat when you're wearing a strapless dress!
I did a drill hitting the bag in 10 second intervals, first slow and then then faster. I did this for 2 minutes. My Arms were on fire. I had such s great time and plan to work with John again. I will let you know how it goes.
On Sunday I visited Black Hole Jujitsu in Fishkill for their boxing class. The owner Mike was very professional and welcoming I immediately felt comfortable and ready to box.
It was a small class so the instructor could watch each student closely. The boxing coach Ellis was great. Boxing was his career. He got my attention. He gave me the feeling of a real professional boxer. He taught me how to position my feet and move to get the most out of each punch. I was so pleased I decided to take private lessons. I'll keep you informed.

Women's Boxing Workout - Doing The Jab
Women's Boxing Workout - Doing The Jab
There's so much more to boxing than first appears. If you watch boxing matches on TV you'll miss a lot unless you understand the techniques. It's an art much like dancing. You can work hard and perfect the sport and have a blast. It's mental concentration and it's an amazing workout.
Let's start with the most fundamental and important punch - the jab. It's a simple punch that doesn't require you to move any part if your body except your arm. It's a quick snap that's all about speed and it's designed to set you up for more aggressive punches. You can see me throwing a left jab in the picture! Here's how to do it..
Stand up straight with hands up in front of your face and elbows in. Put your left foot forward and pointing at the bag - put your right foot back and at about 90 degrees to the front with the heel lifted slightly. Make sure that your center of mass is between your feet - which is just a fancy way of saying don't lean forwards or backwards.
You can already see the concentration needed for the setup. Now don't move at all - except to snap you left arm out and back as fast as you can. Some experts put a slight twist on the punch for extra effect. Bam - the bag gets hit instantly, and you're back in position ready for your next punch. Remember, the reason you're back in position so fast is that nothing moved except your arm. Clever, right?

My Early Morning Boxing Routine
My Early Morning Boxing Routine
When I start my day at the gym at 5am (I know, it's a bit early) it sets the stage for a great day.
I start with 45 minutes of cardio, either on the Arc or Elliptical, and then I like to put on my boxing gloves and hit the bag for 30 mins while listening to Fit Radio.
It's better then a cup of coffee and motivates me for a productive day.
Boxing makes endorphins flow fast, so I'm in a great mood for the whole day. I love endorphins! And yes, in case you were wondering, I love boxing. Try it!

Your First Women's Boxing Workout Class
Your First Women's Boxing Workout Class
I'm often asked what my first boxing class was like. I laugh to myself as I remember that October day and how excited I was, but shaking so much from the exhausting workout I could barely sign my name to the gym membership!
Let me walk you through your first day of a boxing workout.
You will wear comfortable gym clothes - I usually wear gym shorts and a tank top. I like to box barefoot, but boxing shoes are fine. You will have your hands wrapped and boxing gloves ready to go.
We start off stretching - this is so important I'll discuss it in detail in later posts.
Jump roping is next. I love to jump rope. The duration depends on your cardio level.
Some basic techniques and shadow boxing is next, followed by some circuit and strength training.
I love to end a class with a long plank exercise - it hits all muscles and makes you feel great. I do 4 minutes, and by your second or third class you'll be doing it easily!
So that was your first women's boxing workout class. Hope you enjoyed it!

Why You Should Try Women's Boxing
Why You Should Try Women's Boxing
I want to introduce you to my passion.. women's boxing!
I tried everything to lose weight and get into shape. All with no result. But then I decided to try women's boxing. Yes, women's boxing!!!
It's made me a strong and confident woman. It's great for any age. I was 43 when I started and at 46 I am in the best shape of my life.
Boxing builds confidence and stamina. It burns calories fast and it's a total body workout. The twists and turns burn waist fat like crazy!
It's exhilarating and reduces stress, and what it does for your stability and equilibrium is life changing. Boxing works muscles that cardio machines and weight lifting can never do.
If you have the right teachers you will not get hurt, you will get stronger. Don't worry about getting hit. This is boxing workout, so the only contact is with hand pads and bags.
It's done in a women's only gym and is taught by women. So forget sweaty intimidating male boxers. This is a whole new experience.
