There is Boxing and then there is everything else

Being focused and avoiding distractions is the main topic of today here at our gym in Vaughan. Over here we like to separate everything from our paramount goals and that is: becoming the best and the fittest. But, how do we do that? That is the prize question. The biggest obstacle that most people face that we notice is their thoughts. Such as: “I can’t”, “I don’t want to”, or “I rather have a _____ (insert your delight)”. These types of thoughts are the ones that keeps people from being all the best they can be. 

“I rather have a donut because it feels good”. Well, guess what? Being fit feels even better! You get

endorphins, hormones and positive energy pumping through your body and if it is done right there is only positive impacts to it when being compared to sugary stuff or any other bad habit. At our gym, we make sure that you do your training right; our coach Alex has a keen eye for this and avoid redundant exercising at all costs. Finally, boxing really does get your body & circulation pumping so that you do reap the benefits of being active. Simply make it a part of your life.

 

“I can’t”. You are saying this because you are mixing fitness/ boxing with other unrelated situations. You got to separate & isolate working-out from everything else and you will feel much better. If you still find yourself struggling to get to the gym simply say this to yourself: “this is me, it is a part of my life”. Or, formulate sayings that work best for you. This leads to our next philosophy; at our gym we feel out what works best for YOU! Our programs are custom tailored for specifically your body. We understand that everybody is different, with a different learning curve and that is why we make sure that we progress with you to higher fitness levels. 

“I don’t want to” is another one of the most common sayings when it comes to training. We hear this so much that we are tired of it also, but we also observed that once people begin exercising and break that first sweat; they right away want more! We cannot stress this enough. Stress what? The once you break that first sweat everything changes saying. And, after you do get sweaty, you really do think that there is boxing and then there is everything else; you literally put everything aside and start saying “it can wait until I am done working-out” instead. Indeed, the tables do turn around quickly once you have the right mentality and we are dedicated to help you do that; you will be back for more & more, our guarantee!

We just want to go back to our programs and how things function here at our gym. We first assess your level of fitness/ boxing and then we take it from there. We provide you with all the tools & knowledge that you need to be successful in your bodybuilding process. That’s right, we really do have that personal approach to each & every person that comes through out doors because we are more than just a gym we are wellness, health and fitness center for anybody who wishes to improve their life.

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. See  you HERE.

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.
