As you can break a sweat whenever you want, whether it's before work, during your lunch break, or even right before going to bed. You've got the power to call the shots! Plus, when you're in the zone at home, there's no need to worry about the judgmental gaze of the gym-goers.

And here's the best part: exercising at home is the most affordable option. Just download the Basic-Fit App, and you’re ready to go!
But boxing isn't just about convenience. It's a powerful workout that offers both physical and mental benefits. Let us break the most important ones down for you.
- Strength and Conditioning: Every punch, jab, and hook works out various muscle groups, particularly in your arms, shoulders, core and legs. This gives you increased muscle strength and tone, contributing to a leaner physique.
- Calorie burning: High intensity boxing burns a big number of calories, making it an effective way for weight loss and management. The combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises burns fat and help you manage your weight.
- Improved Coordination and balance: Mastering those swift, precise movements does wonders for your hand-eye coordination and balance. You'll be moving like a pro in no time, both in the ring and out.
- Mental Agility: Boxing isn’t just a physical workout; it’s a mental one too. The need to anticipate your opponent's moves, strategize, and react quickly helps to keep your mind sharp and your reflexes sharper.
- Stress relief: Need to blow off some steam? Hit that punching bag and let it all out. Boxing is a fantastic stressbuster, helping you release tension and lift your spirits with every punch.
So, dive into the world of home boxing and transform your fitness journey with a workout that's as thrilling as it is effective!
How to start boxing from home?
Are you ready to start boxing? Whether you're looking to get fit, learn self-defence, or simply try something new. Let’s take you through the basics and get you throwing punches in no time!
Shadow Boxing: Your Imagination is Your Opponent
Shadow boxing is the perfect way to get started. Imagine an opponent in front of you and start throwing jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts. Move around, practice slipping and dodging. It’s all about practicing your punches, movements, and technique without needing any equipment.
Jab: The Foundation of All Punches
The jab is your bread and butter in boxing. Stand in your boxing stance, snap your lead hand straight out, and quickly retract it. Keep your other hand up to protect your face. Focus on speed and accuracy, as this quick, straight punch helps you set up combinations and keep your opponent at bay.
Cross: Deliver the Knockout
The cross is a powerful punch thrown with your rear hand. From your boxing stance, throw a jab to set it up, then rotate your hips and shoulders as you extend your rear hand. Pivot your rear foot for more power and keep your lead hand up to protect your face. This punch can really pack a punch!
Hook: Bring It Around Town
The hook is a powerful, short-range punch thrown in a semi-circular motion. Shift your weight slightly to your lead foot, bend your lead arm at a 90-degree angle, and swing it horizontally. Rotate your hips and pivot your lead foot, keeping your rear hand up for protection. It’s great for close combat situations.
With these starting exercises you will be on your way to mastering the basics of boxing. It's important to stay consistent, focus on your form and most importantly to have fun.
