How do we make our boxers last in the ring so long? How come they are so fast? These are the types of questions we get at Golden Gloves. The reason for them being able to be so quick, so agile is because we have them do cardio; a lot of cardio work! It is very important to be able to breathe well during a match because you run out of breath quickly, even within one round! How do you avoid being winded or being out of breath? Again, doing cardio work, of course. So, what is it that we exactly do to improve that at our gym boxing & fitness in Vaughan? We will get right into this question in today's news.
At our gym don't be surprised to be asked to make laps outside. This is routine and yes, we do believe it is better than the trend mill. How come you may ask? Firstly, the traction that you get from the ground is much different than the trend mill. You will see better results in muscle build-up in your legs running outside rather than from a trend mill, our guarantee. Secondly, wouldn't you rather enjoy the great outdoors when it is not cold outside; rather than running on some machine inside a building? A lot of people think they can bypass running outside by going on the trend mill, but, you know what, running outside is not that bad after all.
After you are done your laps, we don't leave cardio just there. We have you do skipping rope, jumping jacks, fast movements around the bags and once you have your breather going: sparring. This is when we test how well you breathe. We pay close attention, with a keen eye on how you are breathing. But, there is more benefits from having a respiratory system then just for boxing. Breathing well also means stress reduction, increase in confidence and aligning yourself with the nature of the world. That's right at our wellness center, we are here for you and for everything.
So there you have it, the key to our success in the ring is the breather. It is really important emphasize on cardio exercises and we do them all the time here at our gym in Vaughan. If you are interested in our classes, get in touch with us today! We are always looking forward to be hearing from you and improving your overall health. Stay tuned for more fitness, boxing and health related news. And remember: stay healthy, my friends!

Working-out as an adventure
The most common drawback people face when it comes to working-out is lack of excitement or interest in the hard work that involves in training. This lack of enthusiasm usually exists before exercising and, all of the sudden, there is a lot of sensation for training after the workout session. The reason for that being is: energy bursts. When the body is cold, it is hard for it to be excited for large scale movements. But, once it is all warmed up, all perspectives about exercising change. How can we remain excited for the gym at all times? This is what we are going to discuss today's post.
There are many tools at your disposal to make fitness a part of your life. You just simply haven't prepared them. First of all, your biggest obstacle is your thoughts: "ooh it is so hard to get to the gym", how about, try this: "the gym is my temple, my refuge, a place where I get to know my body better". This type of train of thoughts really brings out excitement for training and it really makes working-out an adventure. Stay ambitious, my friends.
After having the right mind frame, there is no telling how far you can go. You will quickly realize limits are set for yourself, by yourself. Now that you are thinking right, set up stations and be curious about how these 'stations' will develop your muscles. What are stations? For example; one spot is skipping rope, one spot is a bag and one is weights. Clock them in at 3 minute rounds and switch them up and like this you have stations set up. But, remember, when you approach these stations, to remain curious about how they work with the physiology of your muscles. If you don't see the results that you are looking for; switch your stations to other activities right away!
Progress is key. You can't stay motivated without seeing results. Those big & dense muscles is the prize & the end goal! Without the reward of strength, there is no point. Record your progress diligently and highlight the areas of your body that need work. You can do it mentally (if you have a good memory) or physically by writing it down on paper. The main point is for you to realize, actualize & materialize your goals of transforming your body to all the best it can be.
Lastly; be comfortable. This is last but not least of importance. Let's face it you can't workout well in uncomfortable pants or shoes or in an unwelcoming atmosphere. You want a positive, can-do & fun gym. Play good music, buy a new pair of running shoes and follow your favorite athletes. You being immersed in the world of fitness makes it so much easier for you to make it a part of your life. The difference is like night & day. Accept it as trait of your character: you are athletic. This is what you will tell people when they ask you what type of person you are.
At Golden Gloves Fitness, we are dedicated to make your fitness & boxing experience as profitable as possible. We make sure you progress and that you are fast on your feet and with your punches. At our gym we make you level up and at the same time we maintain a positive, welcoming and fun atmosphere to anybody who wishes to improve their fitness, boxing and overall health.
