What kind of member do we have at our gym? At Golden GlovesFitness, we have an open-minded policy that accepts anybody who is interested in improving their health and wellness.

Boxing and Fitness is great for your posture!



There are many ways you can improve your posture! But, boxing is one of the most effective ways. That is, if you do it properly. At Golden Gloves Fitness we help you have a nice stance and place that back right in the correct position that you have been looking for all this time!  Don’t rush to the bags just yet! You got to make sure you have that right orthodox stance first and be well balanced on your feet. Don’t curve your back or lean forward but rather slightly lean back and keep your back straight and round your shoulder blades around your head. First and foremost, you must do the proper stretching and warming up before hand. And only then you may proceed to hitting the bag.

Once you are ready, do not start with the heavy bag. Proceed to the light one first. Do easy jabs and focus on your balance. At our gym we have something called a double-end which is a bag that is stretched by 2 ropes at both ends and bounces back and forth each time you hit it. It is perfect for introducing your body to some resistance to your punches. Make sure you do each and every punch properly. Our coach Alex can definitely help you with that. Keeping your upper body up and hands close to your chin, you are ready to move on the heavy bag once you have finished with the light one.

At the heavy bag, try to do a mix of close and distance punches. Never repeat the same move over and over again because your muscles get used to the same movement very quickly. Try to do hooks, uppercuts and moving around the bag with agility while practicing. Always remember to keep a good posture and stance at the bag. Once you are done with the bags, do not finish your workout without calming down exercise. A light jog, some skipping rope or doing some abdominal work is always a good idea. As you can tell Boxing and fitness is a great source for your physique and posture. 

So, do not hesitate to come by our gym in Vaughan, 1st major intersection north of Toronto (Hwy7 & Jane) to give it a try and see how we are doing. 

All the best and we hope to see you soon- the Golden Gloves team.
