Essential boxing items for beginners

New to the brilliant sport of boxing? Many beginners may be unaware of the plethora of training aids that now exist to support amateur boxers as they gradually become seasoned professionals. Especially useful if you tend to avoid the gym, stocking up your home workout space with a few key boxing supplies can enhance your experience and better support your boxing or martial art progress. First and foremost, you'll require a pair of, you guessed it, boxing gloves! Try opting for a pair with ventilated foam to keep your hands sweat-free and cool while you work out. After the practical gloves, it's important to take your safety into account so picking up some hand wraps (to protect your hands and wrists from injury), a head guard, and a mouth guard is a no-brainer when it comes to protecting your body.

If you're boxing with a trainer, friend, or partner, some brilliant martial art and boxing accessories include boxing pads, hand targets and focus mitts, as well as kicking targets and shields. Alternatively, you can also practice your powerful punches in the comfort of your own home (if you'd prefer not to hit the gym) using a durable and long-lasting punch bag. Often available to use alongside an assortment of punch bag accessories for effortless hanging and installation, creating a boxing or martial art setup as an amateur has never been easier thanks to our wide selection of combat sport products.

What are the benefits of taking up boxing?

If you're looking to begin boxing or a martial art sport in order to support your journey to a healthier body, then you're making a fantastic and wise choice. Boxing has an astounding array of health benefits including boosting your cardiovascular health, encouraging stronger bones and joints, and even helping you to get bigger or more toned muscles. Indeed, the act of punching itself requires a team of muscles to work together which in turn causes your heart to pump more blood and oxygen to them, giving your heart a workout, too! Not to mention, warm up and boxing-related training activities such as jump rope, circuits, and treadmill training also help to look after your heart.

With regards to creating stronger bones and joints, the nature of boxing means that you're always moving from place to place, bearing weight on your knees and legs. Weight bearing exercises are some of the most important exercises you can do to help reduce the likeliness of broken bones and even degenerative diseases as you grow older. Not to mention, boxing and martial art sports can support anyone in their journey to build or tone muscle as you must be both quick and strong in order to overpower and defeat your opponent. Training activities for boxers often includes weight lifting, resistance training, strength training, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups - activities that can almost guarantee muscle growth or toning when being carried out properly and frequently. Why not keep an eye on your health, progress, and activity levels by opting for a convenient and easy-to-use activity tracker?
