Throwing punches engages the shoulders, arms, chest, back, and core, while footwork develops lower body agility and endurance. Boxing burns an exceptional number of calories due to the combination of explosive upper body movements and constant lower body motion. It also improves hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and provides an excellent outlet for stress relief.
