Is Boxing a Good Sport to get you active and help loose weight?

I want to loose some weight (like 70lbs) and i need to get active by doing something. So i thought maybe boxing would be good. I heard it burns a lot of calories and my cousin wants to do it with me so now i can go. Im 17 and i found some classes that i am intersted in. Will it help, should i join, is there any information about boxing for weight loss, ive googled but couldnt find much|||i never had to loose much wieght, but i know a bit about it. boxing is a very good sport to help with weight loss. it will help your cardio and muscle build up also. so you will be in better all around shape as well.





i would advise you to do boxing but i would advise you not to compete or spar or those things unless you are very confident and don%26#039;t mind getting hit. the workouts in boxing are great though.





also intergrate running and things like pushups situps and wrestling. those are things that will build your muscle (sometimes small invisible muscle) and will make a lot of difference in your life. they will also help you loose weight. i suggest you start at a good pace and not overkill yourself untill you are worked in though. and use good equipment. (bag gloves and handwraps) you don%26#039;t want a broken wrist. and one big tthing DO NOT give up. work yourself and try to have a goal in mind before each workout. try but don%26#039;t need to reach that goal. just remember that anything is better than nothing. so keep at it and don%26#039;t stop after 2 weeks. because the work you do after you want to quit will be the most important.





good luck to you and i hope you enjoy the wonderful sport of boxing. and again don%26#039;t let people ruin it for you so don%26#039;t fight someone just because they ask you to. get in shape and then see where your at.|||Boxing is a good way to loose weight...if you stick with it and work very hard at it...its not an easy sport...you have to work out everyday and you can%26#039;t eat a bunch of junk either...but its a very good way to loose weight and its an awesome sport|||well boxing will help you get active, but you would need to box everyday to be active, or do some form of exercise..





in my personal oppinion i would wrestle, it uses more energy than boxing in my oppinion, and you can wrestle on teams, or even at your high school.





for websites i would suggest food pyramid, and, umm i%26#039;ll have to get back to you on this one.|||A friend of mine began boxing a while back, he started at 230 pounds and a year later he was 165. if you stick with it and are very serious about it, it is clearly a very good way to lose weight and add muscle, but don%26#039;t forget to watch your diet too|||for weight lose swimming is best.


boxing will help you beat the crap out of skinny swimmers.|||no not really.


you just jump and hit people


its good for anger issues i guess.|||I have been through it all and know what%26#039;s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can%26#039;t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I%26#039;ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.





Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.





First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can%26#039;t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...





This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it%26#039;s good for the heart.





However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It%26#039;s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I%26#039;ve found a great addition to help any one out, it%26#039;s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don%26#039;t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don%26#039;t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn%26#039;t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It%26#039;s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace .com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it%26#039;s the best pill I%26#039;ve tried and I%26#039;ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn%26#039;t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I%26#039;ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.





Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
