It’s during the warm-up where you’ll probably start hearing a high-pitched, digital bell<\/strong>. It rings to signify the start or end of every “set”, so we suggest you get acquainted with this bell- it’ll be the boss of you for the next hour or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After about five to ten minutes of cardio, it’ll finally be time to get started on what you came to do- boxing! Before you get to the mitts and bags, however, you need to get your hand wraps on<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can usually borrow (or rent) hand wraps at your boxing gym, but these are typically used and possibly smelly! If this is an issue for you, it’s recommended that you bring your own<\/strong> wraps to make sure they’re unused and fresh- the same applies for boxing gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you’ve got your wraps and gloves on, it’s finally time to start hitting something<\/strong>! But before you unleash your inner Rocky, you need to make sure that your punches are on point. This is where your boxing instructor comes in; they’ll be your guide to making sure that every jab, straight, and hook hits the mark the way it’s supposed to<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t be afraid to take your time in getting your form down<\/strong>– after all, it’ll be the foundation not only for this boxing session but for all of your future ones, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve gotten into the groove of things, you might notice your body loosening up<\/strong> and being less tight- this is a good thing! Even as a serious and technical sport, boxing is stimulating, rewarding, and fun<\/strong> at heart. In fact, you probably end up punching and moving better when you’re “feeling it” instead of being robotically focused on every movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From letting it all out on the heavy bag<\/strong> to working up to a heart-pounding pace on the speed bag<\/strong> to learning to be comfortable on the mitts and in the ring, there’s sure to be a drill in every boxing session that you’ll enjoy. Just be sure to keep your eyes open, always activate your core, and don’t forget to breathe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from the standard boxing drills, bag work, and sparring that you’re probably already expecting, each boxing session also challenges you to do a lot of movement drills<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From developing footwork to learning how to duck and dodge, you’re definitely going to be on your toes<\/strong> whenever you step between the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re ready to rumble but you aren’t sure where to make your in-ring debut, then Penalosa Boxing Gym might be the place for you! Push yourself to be better at Penalosa Boxing Gym and discover your inner champion- they even have Muay Thai classes in case you want a mix of punching and<\/em> kicking! <\/p>\n\n\n\nWrap it Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
