This hot new fitness program is safe, intense, and best of all, a great full-body workout. And you can do it at home or in the gym. For women and men, here are seven training programs with more than 60 exercises to tone, stretch, and develop your muscles. Follow the tips for adapting them to suit every fitness level. You'll discover that these routines cover every aspect of athletic training. Aerobic exercises improve your heart rate, while jumping rope fosters speed and agility. The heavy bag demands strength, and the prolonged nature of the workout requires stamina, energy, and concentration. A number of informative charts compare the benefits of boxing to those of other sports. Choose the right equipment and exercise clothes, and then practice in front of a mirror and on the bags, and train with a partner, male or female. Nobody gets hit here! The detailed descriptions and all-color diagrams and photos explain the basic boxing stance, the mechanics of delivering punches, blocking and parrying, warm-up exercises, and several different types of boxing (aero, heel-touch, and step-jump, among them). You'll even get the lowdown on jumping rope, super-conditioning, circuits, and cooling down, as well as a small boxing dictionary! Get ready to sweat, strain, train, and improve your health. Sterling 96 pages (all in color), 6 5/8 x 9 3/8.

2.0 out of 5 stars
For beginners only!,
By "jkbeckman" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fitness Boxing (Paperback)
Very short on the fundamentals of stance, movement and punches. Really limited on information for the reader, but a starting point before other books. My overall option is not to bother and go with Boxer's Start-Up : A Beginner's Guide to Boxing (Start-Up Sports, No 9).

My overall option is not to bother and go with Boxer's Start-Up : A Beginner's Guide to Boxing (Start-Up Sports, No 9).The other thing I didn't like was that all the example pictures were of these two smiling idiots. Really took the meanness out of boxing.

Boxing at its best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fitness Boxing (Paperback)
The book was pretty decent, it was able to discuss some of the key points of upper jabs. What I liked most about the book was that it gave good analogies. Over all I would say it is worth your buy.
