And you thought that BOXING was damaging for your brain!
At the peak of Thursday’s Boxing for Girls, Guys Welcome class, the air buzzes with energy as participants are challenged to recall up to twelve moves in rapid succession. Who needs a school math’s exam when you’ve got this level of mental gymnastics?
Boxing fitness isn’t just about throwing punches—it’s a brain booster too. At Club Physical, we embrace innovative techniques like assigning numbers to each movement (for instance, a left uppercut becomes a “5”). This keeps your mind sharp as you try to keep up with your sparring partner, puffing and sweating but determined not to miss a beat.
And there’s science to back it up! Studies show that activities combining physical exertion and mental focus—like boxing—can improve cognitive function, memory, and reaction times. It’s a workout for your brain as much as your body.
As you master the moves, your fitness and coordination skyrocket as a by-product. Add the camaraderie and friendships built in class, and it’s a knockout for your physical, mental, and social well-being.
