When you think of boxing, you may picture greats like former world heavyweight boxing champions Rocky Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott. But boxing isn't just a sport anymore. It's also a popular way to stay fit, through a version known as fitness boxing, which has adapted the movements of the sport into exercise routines.
Unlike traditional boxing that requires someone else for practice, fitness boxing involves throwing punches (重拳击打) at the air or at a punching bag, usually in a class. There are two main types of these exercise classes. In one, you follow a leader and do a series of boxing moves to music, similar to an aerobics (有氧运动) class. The moves include a combination of large, sweeping punches; smaller punches; and short, quick steps forward and back. The other type of exercise class involves strength training, stretching, and hitting a punching bag.
“This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think and change your position,” says physical therapist Linda Arslanian. Though there's no proof that fitness boxing is superior to any other types of exercise, it does strengthen bones and muscles, burn more calories, improve balance and even lift your mood.

In that case, you should consider shadow boxing only, and make sure your hands don't make contact with a target,” says Arslanian. With any activity that is potentially aerobic, you should check with your physician before starting.
“If you're interested in trying this exercise to change up your routine, you'll likely find classes at health clubs or community centers. And if you do start a class, remember to take it slowly. Also, it's not about high intensity. It's about consistency,” she adds.
