The Concept of Boxercise

Boxercise began in the UK in 1992 based upon training principlesthat have existed for over two hundred years. The Boxercise coursehas developed age old training principles and adapted them toform a safe, effective and fun form of exercise suitable for allages and levels of ability.

Boxercise is one of the most effective forms of cross-trainingavailable today. It combines use of both aerobic and anaerobicenergy systems with the systematic recruitment of both fast andslow twitch muscle fibres in a manner that not only ensures adiverse workout but also enhances sports specific senses includinghand-eye co-ordination, balance and timing. Boxercise classesare always fun, energetic and addictive.
