The following is a recent experience from a member at Golden Gloves Fitness in Vaughan:

After yesterday's experience, I just have to let everyone know that I feel great! But, why would I let everybody know this? And, I will answer that exact question. The reason why I felt compelled to let everyone know that I felt great is because of the motivation, energy, and good feeling started to enter my body after my workout and I want everyone else to benefit from it.

The truth is working out gets harder only if you let a lot of time to transpire from your last workout. Just like reading, your reading speed slows down the longer you put the books away, same with working out. If you start skipping days, it only become harder. If you make it a routine, working out become literally second nature. It's the same with gaining weight, if you get used to eating a lot, it becomes subconscious. Working out too becomes subconscious. That is why it is important to switch things up and at this gym never a workout is the same. All thank to coach Alex!

The reason why I rushed to the gym the other day is because I was feeling stiff. It's normal to have You need to grease the gaps between your muscles with sweat. And, boxing is a great source for that. I guess that is where fitness comes in when you are boxing. That sweat works as a lubricant for your muscles for them not to have traction between each other. Thus, leading you not feeling stiff. Without that sweat, your muscle become tense.

stiff muscles. Why? Well, as your muscles become bigger there is more to maintain.

Once working out, training becomes second nature; there is no telling how far you will go. You forget how much of a dread it was to get back in the gym. The trick is not to allow yourself to fallout from that routine. But don't make your training too representative though! Our head coach Alex is great at preventing your workouts from becoming too redundant. The other reason why I ran to this gym yesterday is because my bones were cracking, my muscles felt flat and I felt overall shabby. My workout at the gym got rid of all that. You can bet on that!

After my workout, my muscles felt more round all of the sudden. My bones weren't cracking and that down feeling I was experiencing was gone. It was like going to see the doctor without seeing the doctor. Fantastic. I am very grateful that Golden Gloves Fitness put my body back on track and now I can think clearly and most of all: ambitiously. Now I feel like I can employ my body towards my goals outside of the ring. I will definitely not fall back on my workouts anymore as in the end of the day it is all worth it. I don't feel like I wasted any time here or missed out on anything; after all what's an hour dedicated to a workout but good health and energy? 

Movement, Agility & Boxing

The science of boxing is a lot like the science behind your body. The better you understand how your body works & moves, the better you will be at boxing. But, how can you understand your body better? Where to start? These are the first types of questions that come to mind to somebody who has not begun body building and following up by body improvement. Today's article is exactly about answering these questions.

Firstly, you want to begin by starting with the basics: your weight. Your body literally works-off

your weight. That's right, you might not realize it yet because you haven't started controlling your weight or you haven't gotten it to work for you, yet. Start by recording your weight and set the weight goal that you are looking for. Let's say your are 155 pounds and want to be 175. Literally, just gain 5 pounds, workout to get muscle density for the return of 8 pounds, then, you are all of the sudden: 163 pounds. The 3 extra pounds that you gained was from the workout and from the extra weight your body has to pull of the sudden.

Now, let's say you want to loose weight instead of gaining it. You should eat less meaty/ fatty foods and more vegetables and increase your exercise intake, including: running. By slimming down, there is less fat for your body work-off, therefore leading you to loosing weight even faster. Just as a recap: your body works-off the weight you have. At Golden Gloves Fitness, we are experts in weight classes. We also have an Ideal Protein clinic on 2nd floor for those who wish to control their weight on a whole new level. Once again, we are located in Vaughan, ON.

By controlling your weight, you become more aware of how your body moves and you also develop your agility at a faster rate. These new discoveries will allow you to become better at the sport of boxing. Moving fast is crucial in this sport, that is why you should focus on how fast your body reacts rather than appearing larger to intimidate your opponents. Like most boxers, you can see that their slim & fit rather than bulky with a lot of muscles. The reason for that being is because they sweat a lot more of the unwanted fat out than the average person!

So, the main message is: boxing is a great sport for weight control and overall movement improvement. You want to be fast on your feet and quick to react. And, at Golden Gloves Fitness, we are here to improve exactly that. Our head coach, Alex, is here for all of your fitness, boxing & wellness requests. At our gym in Vaughan, we are always here for YOU because we are your #1 stop for health & fitness. We are always looking forward to be training and seeing YOU, our enthusiastic gym goer.

It's never too late...

A lot of people think that they must compete if they want to box. That is not true, you can box Golden Gloves Fitness, we go at your pace and slowly push your body above & beyond. We understand that working out can be challenging that is why our head coach, Alex, is here to switch things up to keep your exercises interesting. At fitness gym in Vaughan, there is never a dull moment and always a positive atmosphere. You don't have to be competing just to exercise.

You can use your strength that you attain from boxing & fitness in many situations that you may encounter in life, physically and mentally. Listen to what your body has to say. Ask your body this: "body, where do you need to be worked on today?" And then concentrate on it and you will feel which muscles need to be developed and which bones need to be moved. As stated before in the previous post, it's all about: once you break that first sweat...

Once you break that sweat your muscles and bones become lubricated and it becomes easier for you to workout. You feel better and an hour just flies by. Generally speaking it is not recommended that you work out more then an hour and a half per day, unless your the next Jon Jones who takes a few hour breaks in his workouts and returns back to training. But, what other benefits are there when it comes to boxing & training? Well...that is a good question and they are (but not limited to):

• Weight control/ loss 
• Health realization & motivation to improve your help
• Getting rid of unwanted substances in your body
• Increasing positive thinking due to endorphin release
• Improving bone & muscle density
   

The last point is very important for those who wont to raise their weight. The impact that you receive back when punching the bag actually makes your bones and muscles denser due to resistance.
