Synopsis

A comprehensive, practical guide to non-contact boxing - looks at workouts in an individual, group or class setting.

It also covers boxing training's less tangible but equally important benefits such as building confidence and self-esteem – especially relevant to schools and young people.

* Sample training programmes for clients of differing abilities and fitness levels, with guidance on safe and appropriate progression
* Relevant content on dietary and health matters.

The Complete Guide to Boxing Fitness is a tried-and-tested, unique guide to boxing skills and drills for the fitness and sporting arenas.
